Body Composition Challenge (Page 24)

AbbieR - 2011-09-06 5:48 PM Today was a nutritional fail....shrimp salad for lunch but washed it down with 3 glasses of wine!  In my defense I only ordered 2 of the 3 glasses personally, so I wont be held responsible for #3....that's my story and I'm sticking to it!   Not to mention quite a buzz going on! LOL  The joy of sales lunches!

It would have been criminal to waste a perfectly good glass of wine...

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been MIA. I've had a bad few weeks as far as body comp challenge goes with the start of my rotation and a wedding and BLAH. But I'm back in the game now.

Only 5 weeks till I go to Mexico so I really NEED to SMARTEN up! AH!

Getting er done...slowly!

We head to Mexico at the end of the month - 3 weeks from today to be exact... Can't wait. We are heading to Puerto Vallarta - where you headed?

QueenZipp - 2011-09-11 12:49 PM I finished my tri today!!  So happy to finish what I started.  My swim sucked, kicked butt and took numbers on the bike and ran what my legs would give me (but ran the whole thing)

KOM - 2011-09-12 8:43 AM Weight is unchanged but I am okay with that.  I finished my first HIM yesterday.  Slow but not last.  I feel like I can get my life back now and focus on my eating and get back to strength training.  I am also hoping to do more interval type stuff with my running and biking but will let my muscles recover for a few days first.  I am determined to be leaner by the end of this challenge!

Not a stellar couple of weeks for me.  I am keeping with the running though.  Just need to get back on the bike for longer runs and get my butt to the pool and gym.

Diet has been lacking and I am surprised that I haven't done worse damage to my goals.  I'll take that as a sign that if I jump back on the "great nutrition wagon" from the "meh nutrition wagon," that I'll start shredding fat again.  With that in mind, I am going to start tracking nutrition again... grrr... At least that should keep me honest with evening beer habits.

weight - 196 (started at 203.2) - Down a pound from last Monday

Abdomen Fat -18 (started at 24) - Same as last week

Chest Fat - 16 (started at 22) - Down 1 from last week

Thigh Fat - 18 (started at 24) - Up 2 from last week

Estimated % Body Fat - 15.55 (started at 20.58) - Up 0.3% from last week

Pounds fat  - 30.48 (started at 41.82) - Up 0.41 lbs from last week

Lean mass also went down 1.4 lbs from last week (need to hit the gym again and do better with protein intake)

 

Not horrible, but a good reminder that a couple of weeks of "meh" eating and not getting cross training in doesn't help me progress towards my goals.

I've made progress from where I was, but I am by no means done.  I'll continue winning the battle, but never assume that it's won.

Cheers

Hi all! I've got some catching up to do, now that I'm back home with my laptop and internet.  Kauai was amazing, but I think I'm in need of a vacation from my vacation.

The marathon was fantastic... Dean Karnazes' inspirational words at the start line, " Who all's doing the half... beautiful course, you're going to have a great time out there! Who's doing the full... are you ready to DIE" Ha! Didn't die and had a blast.

The Na Pali Coast trail on the other hand, I am still thankful to have survived and would NEVER do it again. The 11 miles each direction on lava rocks with 6 stream crossings and at least 5000 ft elevation gain each way... sure, doable, but the "hazardous cliff- ground may give way beneath you at any time" (these were the actual words on the sign) for a mile, with as narrow as 6 inch ledges, loose dirt slopes, and a 2000ft drop to the ocean below, umm, no thanks. Gorgeous views, but I'm still not sure why I continued along that trail at all. It was definitely an adventure, I'll give it that.

Weights up a bit, but my body fat is down, so I think it's mostly due to bloating from travel and water retention. Definitely fell off the wagon nutrition wise while in Kauai, but I stayed really active, which I think helped control the damages.
