I'm behind already on this so we'll skim a bit to catch up.

Here's my stats so far:

Day 1: 84.5 kg body fat 18.2% UGH!!!!!!

Day 2: 84.7kg body fat 18.1% Yes, my weight went up!!

Day 3: 84.3kg and 17.9% body fat

Day 4: 83.8kg and 17.8% body fat

That day 2 would have scared most beginner weight losers away. Work hard all day and the next day you weigh more? Welcome to the weight/fat loss world. You need to look longer term. Don't expect results the next day. So I've lost almost a kg already. Yeah!

Unfotunately I don't have time to type up all my workouts over the past four days. I've been doing 30-60 minutes of weight lifting, maybe 16-20 minutes hard cardio, and 1-2 hours of walking a day. Remember, this is my personal transformation and I've set a goal of 30 days. So this isn't necessarily the best plan for others but it provides some tips.

So how are the workouts going? GREAT!

Yesterday I deadlifted 145kg for the first time, a new PR. My previous squat PR was 136kg and yesterday I did 135kg for 10 reps and that was my last set!! Blowing squat out of the water! Double kettlebell clean 5:00 EDT my previous record was 61. Yesterday I did 70!!! Kicking butt! Today I killed upper body with bench, 50 pullups, 50 dips, rows, clean and press, and I finished off with four sets of curls and tricep pulldowns -- the first isolated movement training I've done in a while. It was great!

Here's what I've been eating for dinner:

Large salad with dressing, tomato soup, three pieces of steak. I had a small cup of coffee for dessert. This is very filling and very nutritious. I love eating like this.

Today after killing it in the gym, I had a smaller lunch and a itty bitty piece of cheesecake:

The cheesecake was a baby one, about six inches wide. So a piece won't set me back too much. :)

I have lots more to say but the kids are sick and at home so I'm busy with them and the gym. Look for more progress reports soon!
