Day 35: Weigh In

Well I technically lost .5 a pound this week, but not the good kind.  I actually gained a half pound of fat and lost a pound of muscle.  I think the week of snow, where I didn't leave my apartment for the entire week took its toll.  Usually I walk about a mile a day just in my commute to and from work.  But this week that didn't happen at all.  Also on Valentine's day, I definitely decided to have a few beers.  I went out for a fun night of trivia and I really wanted to just let loose a little and enjoy myself. 

So I think the perfect storm of lack of any exercise and having a few beers on Valentines Day definitely caused an issue this week.  The bright side is I didn't gain any weight really, but I think I've hit the max weight I will lose without really assisting with exercise.  Up until now I've done minimal (sometimes none) exercise.  So I really need to buckle down this week and work out at least 3 or 4 times this week.  A combination of cardio and lifting should be good, maybe get back some of that muscle that I lost.  Also I miss my Wii Fit, so I think I will need to get out and purchase a Wii since my roommate is moving out and I don't actually own a Wii. 

	Starting Weight	after 5 weeks	change in weight
Total Weight	283.5 Lbs	262 Lbs	- 21.5 Lbs
Fat	95.5 Lbs	78 Lbs	- 17.5 Lbs
Water	134.5 Lbs	135.0 Lbs	+ .5 Lb
Muscle	53.5 Lbs	49.0 Lbs	- 4.5 Lbs

Ok, goals for this week are work out 3 times cardio and 3 times lifting.  They can be in the same session or broken up.  I'll let you all know how I do.
