Now We're Talking!

So even after 5 days without posting, there is not a lot to say. No slip ups whatsoever. Eating all the right things, exercising every day and sweating my ass off literally, it seems. I have made a lot of changes all at once. No pop, just water. No fast food, no processed food. Just, real food. Other than the first week it's been a breeze so far. Some people call it willpower, for me it seems more of an epiphany. Do IT, or else! Or else what you may ask...in my mind...DIE! That's not on option for me, I am a young guy, sort of, and I have a lot more living to do.

So this week I am down 4 pounds and I feel that I deserve every damn pound, I don't mind in the least working this hard if I can see results like this. Last week I was down 2 and the week before down 44. Not to shabby I must say. If you put the time and energy in I would expect these kinds of results.

So my nutritionist did a ELG on me today. The results were actually livable in my mind compared to others I have seen. A typical healthy male carries about 16% body fat...I am carrying 29%. So I have to get rid of 13% of just body fat, or about 48 pounds. Here was the surprising thing. I am carrying 206 pounds of lean muscle mass. She even did the test again to make sure and did it in herself just to make sure the results were accurate. They were. She shook her head and told me how lucky I was to be carrying so much lean mass, and said, "Athletes would kill to carry that much lean mass." My dream as a kid was to be a cross country skier and rep my country at the Olympics, but when I got sick, it kind of put a damper on that idea. So, she finished by saying that with all this lean mass it would help me burn the fat faster. All in all pretty positive stuff. She also said at some point that I would inevitably lose some lean mass as well, and maybe 5-10 pounds in water weight. I just nodded, OK!

So, onward and downward I guess, not changing anything at this point. Why change something that workng very well up until now right?

Now, where the hell is spring?
