Week 2 Body Composition

Well, not really huge progress this week. I lost .5mm on both my chest and my tricep area. This could be one of two things: a tiny increase in lean body mass, or it could be my water weight fluctuating.

Saturday: 2/7/09
Weight: 154.6
Body Fat: 24.71% (lost .06%)
LBM: 116.41 lbs (gained .12 lbs lbm)
Chest: 8.5 mm (lost .5mm)
Midaxilla (below armpit): 12 mm
Abdomen: 24.5 mm
Suprailiac (diag. fold abv. hip bone): 19.5 mm (gained .5mm)
Thigh: 30 mm
Subscapular (below shoulder blade): 14.5 mm
Tricep: 18.5 mm (lost .5mm)

I missed a couple days at the gym last week. One was because of a staff development meeting and the other was because I had to take my cats to the vet on Friday. To top it off, my husband and I went to dinner on Saturday and I had a couple drinks (alcohol)...which were definitely not on my diet. I definitely need to be a little more strict with things this week.

So my goals for this week are as follows:

1. Drink more water
2. Sneak in a Saturday AM workout session
3. Tighten up the reighns a bit more on Saturday (one healthy cheat meal; i.e. pita pizza with turkey pepperoni)
4. Have a more substantial decrease in body fat.

Week 1: Just Checking In...

So, I figured it was time to do my body composition again. It's been a while since I've done it and to be honest, I was avoiding it like the plague. I knew that I had put on some weight during the holiday season and I just couldn't drag myself to do the pinches. I knew that if I did, then I would see the numbers and it would be true...I had gained.
And now I'm officially over it and ready to start a new challenge. I'm using my little sisters wedding, which is coming up in about 7 weeks, to help keep me motivated and get back on track.
Here are my starting stats from Saturday:

Weight: 154.6
Body Fat: 24.78%
LBM: 116.29 lbs
Chest: 9 mm
Midaxilla (below armpit): 12 mm
Abdomen: 24.5 mm
Suprailiac (diag. fold abv. hip bone): 19 mm
Thigh: 30 mm
Subscapular (below shoulder blade): 14.5 mm
Tricep: 19 mm

This week I'll be doing chest/back with 25 mins HIIT (Mon.), 45 mins cardio (Tues.), hams/glutes/calves with 25 mins HIIT (Wed.), 45 mins cardio (Thurs.), biceps/triceps with 35 mins HIIT (Fri.), 45 mins cardio (Sat.), and REST (Sun.).

I'll be following meal plan #1. After my body comp next weekend, I'll have a better idea of whether or not anything with my meal plan needs to be changed.
