Sunday, Week 7 (with Progress Update)

Overall, progress for the week has been awesome! I believe my fitness/nutrition strategies are working extremely well. Hopefully, next week I will be under 130lbs, which would be my first big milestone. My main goal for this week is to improve my sleep. That dramatically affects muscle recovery and growth as well as well-being for the next day.

Progress:
Weight: 130.8lbs (137.8 baseline, 132.8 post-vacation, down 2 from last week!)
Waist: 29.75 inches (31.5 baseline, 30.25 last week, down .5 from last week)
Below Waist: 32.75 inches (33.25 baseline, 32.75 last week, same as last week)
Body Fat: 32% (34% week 5 baseline, 32% last week, same as last week)

Today needs to be a mostly rest day. I'm going to be active during the day, but no high-intensity activities. The rock climbing as a total body workout, and all of my muscles need recovery. I'll do a lot of stretching and perhaps the Tai Chi Energizer workout DVD. And, I'm thinking of taking my dogs for a walk around the neighborhood. Plus, there's an International Festival today in town, so I'll get a lot of walking in with that.

Food:
Breakfast: 1/2 Kashi Lean Cereal (70) and 1/2 milk (45)
Snack: Yogurt (55)
Lunch: Egg Beater Omelet (100), Leek Soup (130), Cabbage (70)
Dinner: Food from International Festival - 1 Chicken/Onion Kabob, Some grilled chicken, 1/3 gyro, 1 bite of bratwurst, 2 bites of chicken burrito (500?)

Total: 1170
