the quarter way point

Well I survived another week and I'm very pleased to say that it ended up being a good one! Despite getting off to a bumpy start, my calorie compensating did the trick & I got some great results that are very consistent with last week's - no nasty surprises. My irrational fear that I'll put in the work & never get my dream body are starting to disappear... It's becoming clear that if you have a plan, accountability & are consistent, results are inevitable. Yay!


So here are the results tables. I had to adjust my goals for the weight/bodyfat table as the rate of weight loss is different to my body fat loss and I was only guessing when I first made the table anyway. Oh, and I took photos but you can't really see the difference that I can see in person so I'm just going to post the photo montage at the end.

All up, it was a great week. To know I can achieve results like this with only 3 workouts a week, it's very encouraging. Particularly because I only have one more week of this then I'll be back to 5 days a week at the gym & some serious fat dropping. Goals for this week: No cheat days - consistency is key. Low days will be 1300-1500 calories, high days will be 1700-1800 calories. Also going to work on positive thinking - appreciating my body as it is now as well as believing that I will reach all my goals in the next 6 weeks. This week I will also post some more details about what exercise I've been doing & things I've been eating so you know exactly what I'm doing to achieve these results.
