So the weekly measure up is here!
Bicep:  17"
Forearm: 12.6"
Thigh: 25.8"
Stomach (handles): 39.5"
Chest: 47"
Waist: 38.4"
Neck:  16.5"
weight: 97.8kg (215lbs)

Although I lost another kg (2 pounds) my measurements hardly budged! Im happy to be lighter but not so pleased with the measurements. Doesnt matter, I could have lost the weight in other places, and I certainly look leaner than a few weeks ago.  Just gotta keep on truckin'!

Back at training!

Back at training!

I managed a pretty full-on week of martial arts, cardio and weightlifting this week so I'm looking forward to the results.  I look a lot leaner in the mirror so I should have some good measurements:

Bicep:  16.9"
Forearm: 12.75"
Thigh: 26"
Stomach (handles): 39.5"
Chest: 47"
Waist: 38.6"
Neck:  16.3"
weight: 98.6kg (217lbs)

So I lost a kg (2 pounds), a little bit of muscle loss (0.1 of an inch on my biceps) but little over half an inch on both my stomach and waist.  That's a pretty good ratio and Im pretty happy with that.  Even though I'm pleased with the results we had a few big events this week which prevented me losing and probably I even gained a little back, so next week should be a good week since there are not so many events that revolve around eating..

less effort = no results

Although I planned to start training again this week, I hurt my hand and was very limited.  I still managed to a get a bit in though.  Here are my results:

Bicep:  17.0"
Forearm: 12.75"
Thigh: 26"
Stomach (handles): 40"
Chest: 47"
Waist: 39.1"
Neck:  16.5"
weight: 99.6kg (219lbs)


Nothing changed according to above. Although I weighed in at 98kg during the week, I unfortunately had a bit of a binge last night at a friends engagement party. Just a stupid mistake and a bump in the road, I'll smash it out this week and get good results next week. I'll be back at training, back to weightlifting, and CONSTANT strict eating. No excuses.

Another week has gone by, and although I wasn't expecting much progress this week, since I wasn't training (bloody cough) I still had some good progress!

Bicep:  17.0"
Forearm: 12.75"
Thigh: 26"
Stomach (handles): 40"
Chest: 47"
Waist: 39.1"
Neck:  16.5"
weight: 99.6kg (219lbs)

So lost a few kg, some fat, some muscle (due to a lack in exercise Im thinking) either way Im happy, If I lose any muscle I never have trouble gaining it back in 3 or 4 weeks with minimal fat gain so I may have to throw a 2 or 3 week cycle in there sometime to gain some back with minimal fat (plenty of cardio, more food - but strict on being quality food). When losing this kind of fat, I'd glady sacrifice I small amount of muscle, would be a different story if I were naturally skinny, but in my case fine.

So recap - 4 weeks in

lost half an inch on the arms - meh
Forearms, chest and thighs have barely moved - good
Lost 2.5 inches around love handle area - awesome
Lost just under 1.5 inches around waist
Lost 8kg (17.6lbs)


 I think since the incehs being lost at my wasit a far higher than inches on my arms, thats a good ratio! Can't wait to get back into training this week and shred even more fat. :)
