One week in.

Resting Heart Rate: 76 bpm
Height: Still 6'8"
Weight: 318 lbs
Waist (at navel): 50"
Hips: 50"
Chest 52"
Left/Right Thigh (at midpoint): 28"/28"
Left/Right Bicep (at midpoint): 17.5/17.75"

So I only netted a loss of 2.5 pounds, but I have a distinct feeling that the day off from my diet that was the Super Bowl is partially responsible.  Another reason to move my day off from the diet to Tuesdays as I planned.  However, I did see a marked improvement in that I lost inches.  Two inches from the waist in a week is pretty boss in my opinion.

Secondarily, I am moving my rest day from working out to Mondays.  Did some cardio today and will start my six days with strength training tomorrow.  This is basically to give myself more time to do the cardio workouts which are about 15 minutes longer on the days that I have to be into work later.  Basically I am trying to make sure that I can get the full workouts in every day.  I ran out of time a couple of days last week that that kind of got on my nerves.  Anyway, seven days down and I feel markedly better than I did 8 days ago.

  2. That's fabulous!!! Don't worry about losing the pounds too fast -- inches are a much better indicator of progress, and the weight loss is easier to maintain if it doesn't happen too fast. :-)
