July 7th - It's Weigh-In Day!
"You didn't gain all the weight in one day
You won't lose it in one day
Be patient with yourself"
- Jenna Wolfe
According to my weight loss plan, I officially weigh myself every week to determine my progress.
My weigh-ins are done on a Saturday evening or Sunday morning because my weight is the lowest during that period.
This Week's Weight Goal
My weight goal for this week is 219.96 lbs; this is based on my weight loss plan
And without further ado, my weight this week is......
217.40 lbs!
When I weighed myself last night, my measurements were
- Body weight - 217.40 lbs
- Waist size - 39.5 inches
- Body fat percentage - Between 20% - 25%
Meaning
Based on the measurements, I'm still a fat-ass (my BMI categorizes me as overweight and my waist size borders on overweight territory).
My Activities This Week
My structured exercise regimen lacked a bit this week
Monday
I went to the gym as expected; my exercises comprised
- Using the helix machine for 15 mins
- Stationary biking for 10 mins
- Running & walking on treadmill for 15 mins
- Three sets of pull-ups (4 - 5 pull-ups per set)
- Three sets on the rings
- Three sets of bodyweight squat (15 reps per set)
- Handstand practice
- 5 - 10 mins on the kickboxing punching bag
- 15 mins stretching and core exercises
No swimming this week as the swimming pool was unavailable.
Throughout the day, I worked on my handstand, legs stretching and bodyweight squats.
Met my daily 10k-steps goal.
Tuesday
I was supposed to exercise from home, mainly stretches, handstand, and core exercises.
I didn't have an actual regimen on this day, but I did perform those exercises throughout the day.
Met my daily 10k-steps goal.
Wednesday
Was expected at the gym; I completely bailed by waking up late.
Exercises were similar to Tuesday's.
Met my daily 10k-steps goal.
Thursday
Today was Independence Day; however, I was already feeling bad about the trajectory of my exercises this week.
I started the day with a 4+-mile walk & another 0.5m biking.
Completed my stretching, handstand, bodyweight squats, & pull-ups throughout the day.
Very much exceeded my daily 10k-steps goal (I think I had about 20k+).
Friday
Woke up late, ignoring gym date.
Completed my stretching, handstand, bodyweight squats, & pull-ups throughout the day.
Met my daily 10k-steps goal.
Saturday & Sunday
These days are mainly for stretching & gymnastics activities, which I happily performed.
Met my daily 10k-steps goal.
Conclusion
I'm a work in progress and my hope is to keep getting better until I achieve my weight loss goals.
Looking forward to next week's measurements!
