I'm weighing a little more than yesterday. I was expecting to weigh even more since I ended up skipped the whole leg routine, including the indoor cycling (doing all that today). Leaving exercise for later in the appears not to work very well for me. I find exercising at night somewhat demotivating, I don't know why lol.

Inaccurate body fat percentage from body composition scale: 7.0 % (more or less the same as yesterday)

79.6 cm (practically the same as yesterday - very good!)

Getting ready for day 12 of the Ab Challenge and tomorrow I'll be participating in a new challenge - the "Water we love you" challenge - which purpose is to drink 7 glasses (I presume cups/ 250 mL) of water a day. I like this because I tend to forget to drink water after my usual morning 500 mL (2 cups) which is the first thing to go in my stomach in the day.

edit: I lost the rest of the food intake list from yesterday. The log will unfortunately have to stay incomplete lol...

edit: Ab Challenge - I was barely able to complete the crunches slowly in one go heheh. Then I inevitably had to break the leg raises set at the usual 20 repetitions and resume after like 20 or 30 seconds lol. The plank was very doable :)

After doing the leg day (my legs were kind of rusty when for these specific exercises. I decided to go "old school" first, and did some explosive exercises first (jumping squats, fast butt kicks for the hamstrings and fast calf raises for the calves). Mind you that, after doing the jumping squats my heart was beating as fast as a sparrow's lol. After that, I did some weighed squats (moderate weight), weighed lunges (with half the weight), and that's funny but I don't remember if I got to do weighed calf raises (I think I didn't because I thought it was just overkill). heheh I think these two types of exercise (explosive and slow weighed) are usually done in different exercise sessions but I'm somewhat ignorant exercise-wise and I just went with it lol. I went at a stroll pace doing indoor cycling after this :)

edit: This is not good lol. It's the middle of the afternoon and I'm already at 90% of my RDI :)
