<insert exciting noises here>
For the first time in my journey, the scale showed me I lost some weight! Honestly, I'm overjoyed. For a moment this week, I was doubting whether I really was losing weight or it would take a few more weeks of training to show. But here it is! It might not be much, but it's the fruits after three weeks of hard work.
Starting Weight Week 2: 114.6kg (252.6lbs)
Current Weight: 113kg (249.1lbs)
Body Fat %: 55.9% => 55.1%
Muscle Mass %: 15.8% => 16.1%
Lost some fat, gained more muscle. I'm very happy with these results, and that while this week went absolutely crap. Keeping up with the intermittent fasting window during workdays feels like a piece of cake. I'm also barely snacking, so I basically live of lunch, dinner, sugar free lemonade and coffee without much struggle. It's not because I restrict myself from snacking, I'm just not hungry.
Exercising this week flopped pretty badly. I did my low impact workout once, and it smoked me. I did it last Tuesday and today my muscles are finally not feeling so sore that I can barely get my butt up the stairs. I also didn't manage to get my two days of walking 30 minutes in, primarily because I wasn't prepared for the broken weather here in the Netherlands. Snow in April is unheard of here and it was so cold..
However, I have made a plan to catch up with the exercise! I'm staying at home this weekend with no responsibilities for the weekend other than taking care of myself. So, let's take care of myself! This afternoon, I've planned a 9km (5.6 mile) hike in a nature reserve park nearby. I'll be taking my camera with me to shoot some film, so it should be a relaxed hike. Tomorrow evening I have another low impact workout planned. Finally, Sunday I have another hike of 6km (3.7 mile) and my little brother will likely join me on that one.
Hopefully I'm able to achieve these goals for the weekend and if not, then I don't achieve them. I won't beat myself up for it, because that won't help me in the long run. My goal for next Friday? Just keeping up with the schedule I've created for myself! That weight will come off at some point, as long as I keep my butt moving and stay conscious of what I eat. :D
