health mode v1 - week 4




Hi all, this is the beginning of the final week, the last week I have left to achieve my goals.
The past 2 weeks have been a bit off track with the whole vacation and all...but result wise it isn't as bad I thought it would be after all those drinks and late dinners. Luckily I remained pretty active during the day with kayaking and paragliding.

83 cm (- 1.5 cm)
26.2/26.2 cm (+0.1/-0.1 cm)
66.6 cm (-0.4 cm, yay! )
71.8 cm (-1 cm yay!)
87.5 cm (- 0.5 cm)
49.5/49.5 cm (+-0 cm)
33.3/33.3 cm (+-0 cm)



GOAL:

bellybutton = 72 cm
weight = 50 kg
in one week from now.


Analyze of the results:
As you can see I've achieved one of my goals already, my bellybutton waist is down to 71.8 cm and my goal was 72 so that's all good. I'm not quite sure what conclusion I should make about the weight...but 0.1 kg is probably just a bit of fluctuation because of the water level in my body. I'm suspecting I've added some muscles too after a couple of gym sessions, kayaking and paragliding and since muscles weigh more than fat it could be another reason to why I've gained weight.
It will be interesting to see if I can make it to 50 kg this week :)
I will continue doing some gym sessions where I mostly target my abdominal area and with a bit of cardio at the end and I will also try and do a bit more low impact training like walking and swimming when I don't go the gym.

This is what I look like now. I'm not sure if there is much of a change:
week 4 - fitness weight loss fat loss

This is what i looked like two weeks ago:
week 2 - fitness weight loss fat loss

This is what i looked like three weeks ago:
week 1 - fitness weight loss fat loss

I'm back




I'm back from my vacation and I've been very active with kayaking, swimming, walking up steep hills with 15 kgs of paragliding equipment for about 7 days getting bitten by mosquitoes and sandflies plenty of times, to give you an example, I have 20 bites on my left arm...
But the reward is all worth it, I've got an awesome tan, I worked my back muscles paddling the kayak and I am officially a PG1 rated Paragliding pilot :)

I've been fairly good with food but since it was a vacation I also had a few drinks...okay okay more than a few :)

I have loads to catch up with now, but I'll get back to you tomorrow with my results after the two weeks that has passed and maybe the next part of fitness simplified if there is enough time.
