Fat Loss Week 5 results

• Weight - 14st 8lb (down 3lb since last week)
• Body Fat % - 27% (up 0.5% since last week)
• Waist - 35.5 inches (no change from last week)

Only had the two sessions this week but I've been putting in the effort. I've also been giving it some real stick with the cycling and I'm definately getting better at this slowly but surely. In terms of the results above I think that the weight result is possibly giving a false impression since I haven't eaten the best I could for a couple of days previous to weigh in. The day before weigh in in particular I was busy with jobs and out of the house not able to eat till late so I would expect this reading to perhaps rise slightly again before it went back down. This would also account for the slight increase in the BF reading since fasting or starving ones self (although not intentional is what I've done) will result in the body conseving fat instead of burning it and atrophy occurring, where the body effectively eats it's own muscle for fuel. This isn't something you want to do when you've work so hard in the gym to build it up. Hopefully once the regular eating pattern is restored and re-established then everything should revert back to normal again and fat burning can continue.

I have another week of reduced sessions next week and then a week away at a residential course for work. So training will be disrupted for a few more weeks yet since when I return I will be commencing Fat Loss III sessions and it may take a short while to sort out these new workouts. I hope to keep up with the cycling as much as I can over this period and early next month I intend to join a cycle group and attend social rides to get use to the distances I will be cycling when I do the charity ride. It wont be long now so I need to be ready. Anyway I'll keep you updated as much as I can.

Cheers, BustaGut!
