Finished up week 4 in prime fashion.3 days of resistance training, 4 days of cardio (2 30min HIIT and 2 45min low intensity "fat burning" sessions). Another 45 minutes of low intensity cardio on my cross trainer. A great piece of equipment but will have to sell it when I leave here, since it's 220v.
Now some people might say that this may be too much cardio to build muscle and normally I would agree, but since my metabolism no longer works correctly, I am doing what ever it takes to continue with my fat loss, if this doesn't' work and I start to lose muscle I'll cut back on the cardio, as long as I keep my calorie and protein intake high enough, I should be able to maintain or add muscle and continue to burn body fat. We'll see what happens.
11 Feb 07: Day 28
Not much to add today, had a real easy day, started it off with 45 minutes, low Resistance, keeping my heart rate below 115 during the cardio session. Burned 405 cal @ 6.97km distance.
Oh, I almost forgot, I picked up a body fat scale. So, now I'll be checking my body fat and weight in the morning when I get up. Because the scale fluctuates so much from day to day, I'll be averaging the readings for the week and posting them on Sundays. This mornings reading was: 192.5lbs @ 14.2% with 60% water (it's supposed to read hydration levels too, with ideal levels being between 50%-70%).
