Body Tranformation: Check-In
I wrote last week about the body transformation competition.
While I was at the Tony Robbins seminar last week and this weekend I made sure to workout every morning. The typical workout included 10-20minutes on an exercise bike, and then either weight training or a yoga routine, and some ab work.
The seminar would go all-day, so I packed snacks with me. I would typically eat a piece of fruit in the morning, a “green-drink” (like supergreen mixed with water) in mid-morning, and a big salad (lettuce, olives, some feta cheese, grape-leave dolmas, carrots, etc) when we broke for lunch (typically around 2-3pm). I’d snack on some raw nuts or dried fruit if I got really hungry. Dinner was typically a big salad or some pizza or something (whatever I could find at Hard Rock Cafe, Cheesecake Factory or California Pizza Kitchen). Generally speaking, my diet was very very good. Mostly raw and lots of fruits and veggies.
So after getting home today from the airport, I decided to check my bodyfat. On July 1st I was 15% bodyfat and 152 lbs. Last Monday, I was 150lbs and 14% bodyfat. Today, I step on the scale and I am 152 lbs and 10% bodyfat! Only about 3% more to drop to hit my goal of 7%. I think that eating much more raw food is what did it. I have a feeling that gaining the muscle mass is going to be the really hard part to this challenge. My goal is to get up to 158 lbs by the end of September.
