Today's topic is on "Dialing it in" and my lessons learned about the world of body shaping.
When I came to this area of study (about 7 months ago) my metabolism was stalled and my knowlege was weak. After much time and effort spent learning about how the body works and what works for my body I really feel as if I am "dialed in". I calculated over the past months that I was burning food at about a 2370 kcal a day rate. Today my numbers are again proving that this is so.
12 days ago I began my cut and the results are so far as follows...
5/04 133.8lb 19.5%
5/12 131.8lb 187%
5/15 132.8lb 18.4%
5/16 133.2lb 18.2%
what is significant here is that the scale numbers look pretty discouraging at first glance or if I did not track bf%. If you do the Math however you will see that I have dropped 2.89 lbs of weight total in the past 12 days. That is a rate of about 1.5 lbs a week which ties directly into my daily burn rate. I am going to throttle this back a little bit so that I am losing a bit slower and I can do this because I have things dialed in enough to know exactly what needs to happen.
This stuff is very cool. I think that "Dialing in" is one of the most significant things we can do for ourselves in this journey.
Okay enough of that.....
Today is a rest day. I will take a nice long 1 hour walk sometime during the daytime and try to get 8 or more hours tonight.
