Day 64.....Week 9 Summary!

Okay, now before I post my results, I just want to mention that I did not do cardio 4 times this week, and the eating plan got lost for a day, which is probably why I had 4 beers and some onion dip (with raw vegetables) one evening.....LOL! Now, I didn't miss any of my resistance training days and I did hit cardio week in a row, go up in 2x this week. My results are not quite as nice as I would have liked but considering that I fell off my plan (a little)......still not too bad.

I once again, for the 2nd week, go up in body weight. Not that I care, as long as my body fat doesn't increase, (which means I'm adding more muscle) I'm okay with that.

Although, I did go up slightly in body fat (could be due to water intake since that was down from last week) as you can see below:
Date Weight BF % Water %

13-Mar 195.5 13.4 60.6
14-Mar 193.9 13.2 60.8
15-Mar 194.1 13.3 60.8
16-Mar 193.2 12.6 61.4
17-Mar 193.4 13.9 60.2
18-Mar 193.7 12.5 61.6
19-Mar 194.4 13.5 60.3

Week 9 194 13.2% 60.9
*Couldn't find my reading from the 12th, so I included today's reading.


19 Mar 07: Day 64

Today I had another great workout. I went up in weight and reps during every exercise! In fact I did 4 reps with a weight that was my 1 rep max (just 2 weeks ago) for dead lifts! That kind of improvement will really add muscle!

Things that I plan on changing this week.
Increase the intensity of my cardio sessions.

Other things I can work on:
Drink more water
Stick to eating plan (important that I don't miss meals and get enough protein).
Hit all 4 cardio sessions this week.

Since, it had warmed up a little last week (about 65 F), I was planning on doing some out door cardio, but......the weather has changed for the worst! So much so, that it actually snowed today! Will have to continue with the indoor cardio for now.

Hey I just saw you on 25 peeps...One of my favorite bloggers is there so I have been a regular for several months. I was delighted to see a new guy pic, even more delighted to see yours in particular. I have read back a while and love your progress. You have gone from "nice, worth a second look" to jaw dropping. Not to mention the health benefits. I love your recipes to, plan to try them. Check out my blog if you have no objections I'd like to add you.

Mrs.zigzagman,
Thanks for stopping by and showing your support! Your comments are flattering, and feel free to add me to your blog.

If you try out the recipes let me know what you think. I plan on posting more real soon, since people tend miss breakfast I'll plan on posting some of my favorite healthy waffle and pancake recipes.
