End of Week 7 Pics

front
back
obliques
Still the same weight at 151 lbs. Although i was trying to gain some muscle weight by doubling the scoops of my protein drinks. Hopefully i gained some muscle, it is hard to tell. Body fat is down to 11.7% Ate lean and clean again the past week. And worked hard on HIIT. Almost half way there. Keep up the good work to my AB groupmates!!

End of Week 6

Can't believe it is going to be week 7 already. Ate very healthy the past week (had very low bad fats and ate a lot of protein), except today which will be my cheat day for the week. Went to a party so I had potato salad, a slice of cheese pizza, and two fish tacos in corn tortillas. Bad but not too bad. Despite all that bad food for a day, my body fat has gone down to 13.7% Noticing more cut in body. Weight is 151lbs and lost another inch of my waistline in 2 weeks. Worked extra hard on the abs.

I wasn't going to post a pic every week, but decided to do it anyway. A weekly pic is a good motivator for myself (so i can work harder to show improvement for the next week). Also a good motivator for the six-pack challenge group.

End of Week 5, getting ready for halloween




Got the 300 costume in the mail friday, so I decided to try on the helmet and bracers, LOL, something to compare progress between now and halloween time.

Weight is 152 lbs. Body fat went down to 15.7%. I notice arms are getting bigger but i don't notice any other weekly changes. I'll post another pic probably at halloween instead so hopefully there is more of a difference.

1 Slice of low fat cheese
Mustard

Broiled vegetables
6 egg whites with salt, pepper, garlic powder cooked in a pan
1 Whole wheat tortilla or 1 Slice of whole wheat bread or 1 cup cooked brown rice
Water or Iced tea to drink

Snacks in between main meals:

I have a variety of snacks that i take to work or have some stock at home. I choose one of these to eat:

Instant Oatmeal
1 serving of Almonds (about 28 pieces)
1 piece of Fruit
1 protein bar (about 190 calories)
1 Protein Shake
a serving of beef jerky
1 whole wheat sandwich with turkey or roast beef or peanut butter
serving of Peanuts

* Once a week, typically on Sunday, i eat 1 guilt free, "bad for you" meal. hehehe. It's a reward to myself for eating well during the week. I eat anything I want for either lunch or dinner. Could be 2 slices of pizza, a nice juicy burger, a dozen chicken wings, ice cream...etc. Then back to working out and eating right for the week.
