Well the first week went reasonably well considering – the first week is always the hardest!
The calories consumed for the week were as follows:
Monday: 1377, Tuesday: 1750, Wednesday: 1435, Thrsday: 1558, Friday: 1644, Saturday: 1674, and Sunday: 1452 – plus I was able to fit in a couple of bike rides, some swimming and a swiss ball workout, enough to burn an additional 1436 calories for the week.
All up I managed to have a deficit for the week of 8367 calories which should be equivalent to 1.09 kilograms. I did in fact manage to lose 2 kilograms, but unfortunately some of the 2kg weight loss, 0.6kg was lean body mass and 1.4kg was body fat.
Ordinarily I wouldn’t be too happy about losing lean body mass (as opposed to body fat), but as my projected result allows for some lean body mass loss I can live with it. It also means that I will need to include some strength training into my weekly routines
In the next week I will go into more detail about exactly what I use to record and measure each aspect of my diet and exercise program in order to help me maximise my fat loss
