Evolution Two – week Two
Sunday, June 7, 2009
Hello Folks,
Today was a long day for me. I drove for over four hours. This morning I woke up and tried out my sister’s elliptical machine. I didn’t find the workout nearly as challenging as running or biking; though it may be due to the fact that I tried the Interval training on the workout configuration and my body just was getting used to the movements.
After a long 5 hour drive I decided to do Interval training again; I wanted a better workout. I also used a cushion for my back and it paid off; no back problems this time.
I decided to calculate my lean body mass (LBM) as another tool to measure my success. Here is what I found out...
My lean body mass is 107.73 pounds. In order for me to get down to 15% body fat my weight should be 126 pounds. If I went down to 121 pounds, my body fat percentage would be 12%. That is assuming that I don’t lose any lean body mass in the process.
Right now my goal body fat percentage is 15%, therefore my goal weight is around 126.
After two days of eating a small slice of my sister’s birthday cake and having mixed feelings about it, I am ready to continue on my path toward my goal weight. The real work begins now as I enter the next evolution of my training.
From day 99 until day 190 I will continue my mission of attaining 15% body fat. That means I should reach my goal by September 5th. Wish me luck on my next goal!
Exercise: double cardio Interval Training
Menu: Veggies and Protein
Until next time…
