Firstly, fasting at work is a lot easier than doing it when I have a day at home. In fact I barely even notice. It helps that I'm ridiculously busy at work at the moment so don't really have time to think about whether I'm hungry or not.
Secondly, grilled chicken can get boring quite quickly, and I'm only eating it once a week as the other fast day I have been cheating and falling back on using low calorie ready meals.
Thirdly, the weekly weigh-in/measurements have thrown up some interesting and unexpected results, which seems like a good time to move onto the results and due to my lack of updates there are two weigh-in days to cover.
The first week results were as follows:
Weight: 10 st 11.2 lbs / 151.2 lbs / 68.6 kg - Two pound loss :-)
Body Fat: 25.9% - 0.5% loss :-)
BMI: 23.9
Waist: 35.25" - Quarter of an inch gain :-(
So all good news except from the odd gain around my waist. Now wrapping a tape measure around myself probably isn't the most accurate of ways of measuring my waist so I'm inclined to put it down to variance in positioning of the tape measure as there has definitely been some weight loss!
Which brings us to the measurements from yesterday:
Weight: 10 st 11.8 lbs / 151.8 lbs / 68.9 kg - Gain of 0.6 pounds :-(
Body Fat: 24.3% - 1.6% loss :-)
BMI: 24
Waist: 35" - Quarter of an inch loss :-)
So initially disappointment as I have put a bit of weight back on but pleasantly surprised that my body fat has continued to drop. Now I know that muscle weighs more than fat and I would love to think I have replaced fat with muscle but the fact I haven't been exercising means I think this is unlikely. Also my waist is back to where it started or possibly there is just no change.
Bit of a mixed bag really, was hoping for another two pound loss so the gain was quite a big disappointment but softened by the reduction in body fat.
Going to stick at it though and see what happens and will try to increase the frequency of my updates!
