First of all, big win! I lost my first pound!!!!!!!!!!!! Getting back into working out consistently has definitely been hard. My muscles are very undernourished and underworked. No pain no gain, right. :)
I've decided that I'm going to the rapid fat loss diet that I did before. I'm going to keep it up at least until I get back to school in January (maybe a little more). That gives me a good 3 weeks to blast my weight loss (5 pounds lost a week) before doing general weight loss (1-2 pounds lost a week).It's very much like atkins but with more focus on eating the right veggies and taking the proper vitamins every day. I know atkins is not the ideal healthy diet, but this will be a temporary regimen to get me back into the game. Also, I have a wedding the first weekend of January, so time is of the essence right now.
I very much feared measuring my body fat percentage because this year has been horrible. These are my current numbers:
December 2015 Body Fat 40 % Fat Mass 65 lbs Lean Mass 97 lbs
I have A LOT of fat right now. I haven't seen numbers like these in years. It's definitely hard to face your fears, but I need to see this to know where I'm at so I can motivate myself to get out of this. If you compare my numbers to what I had in the beginning of the year, it's pretty crazy:
January 2015 Body Fat 35 % Fat Mass 51 lbs Lean Mass 95 lbs
I mean... wow. I gained almost 15 pounds of fat. Yuk.
I need to get back in the game! I can feel my motivation rising.
