One Week Committment Check In

Earlier in the week I posted about breaking plateau's. I commited to try an experiment for one week:

1) I would stick to my diet 100% as I had been cheating a lot
2) I would exercise twice per day. One cardio and once weight training. (weekdays - gym at work)

Here's my results: Diet wise, the only cheating was 1 biscuit and 1 chocolate in the entire week. (I dont use cheat meals, as I figure they come naturally with my lifestyle) Exercise wise I was doing really well until Wednesday evening when I sustained a slight injury at karate and was out of action Thursday. However I picked things up yesterday and swam in the morning (foot still dodgy so I avoided the usual treadmill / crosstrainer), and did weight training at lunchtime. In all I did 4 x cardio, 4 x weight training and 1 x karate which is 2 hours, so thats quite a lot.

The result? No change AT ALL. No weight change, no measurement change. Nothing, zip, nada. I'm trying very hard not to be disappointed.

I think these things are sent to test us. There are several things that I could try. I'm going to start with the simplest to implement: Eat Less. Obviously I hang on to fat a lot so I must be a bit endomorphic so I'm dropping my deficit to 28%, which is a drop of about 100 calories a day. Ugh, that means I need to go adjust a bunch of recipes again. *sigh*.

Oh well never mind. It's not like I'm just going to give up because that wont get me nearer to my goal.
