Yes I’ve been a bad girl as I haven’t posted in weeks. My apologies, I have no excuses.
Good news is that I have updated body re-composition numbers and pictures for you today.
As of today my weight is holding at 109lbs so I’ve lost a total of 2 pounds but again this is about fat loss and lean muscle gain not about weight.
What I’m really happy about is I dropped 1.5% of body fat I am now down to 18.5% body fat. I need to be honest, I had the caliper test taken a few weeks ago but there were some logistical issues that caused a delay in getting the results.
and now for the pictures. I am starting to see some improvement in the abdominal and hip region. you can really see a difference in the side shot, not so much in the back shot but it does appear that I may be showing a little more muscle in the upper back region.
I have to apologize, the most recent pictures were taken in the evening so the lighting isn’t as good, and yes they are a little bit further away but I think you can still get the idea. Also, there’s something funny happening with the alignment. I apologize that back pictures aren’t lining up next to each other. I’ve been playing with it for nearly 30 minutes, but I have other things I need to do so this is going to have to do for now.
Let me know what you think.
Feb 2010 20%
March 2010 18.5%

Feb 20%
March 18.5%
I’m happy with my progress so far. I obviously haven’t reached my goal of 16% by April 1 but regardless slow and steady wins the race. My weight is holding steady, I’m losing fat and my strength levels are still going up in all my big lifts: Squat 115lbs, Deadlift 150lb, bench 75lbs, chin ups 7 reps (band assisted)
Until next time.
Be well, train hard
Michelle
