Week 2: The laws of thermodynamics work! As long as you don't eat salt.

Bodyweight: 259.2 "BodyFat": 35.2

As seen by the last entry, clearly I wasn't doing something right. Using MyFitnessPal.com it was evident immediately that eating poorly (or at least not as well as I thought) was the cause. I literally tracked everything I ate as well as the exercise that was completed. Unfortunately the interval style training that boxing employs is not covered by the website and so I have to make an educated guess on work done.

And it would seem that I wasn't too far off. 3lbs in a week, yet my curious "bodyfat" measurement has gone up which I'm sure people will attribute as water loss. Which would suggest that since my "bodyfat" has gone up that I have been using water as energy. So with that in mind I have either discovered a new form of energy or the body fat measurement isn't exactly accurate.

But, all things considered it looks like progress is being made, but will the trend continue?

Next Week: A new video!: "Fattie does the funky monkey!"

Week 1: Where's Jillian Michaels when you need her?

Weight: 262.2lb "Body Fat": 34.5

So, 1.5lb and 2% body fat lost what does it mean? We'll either I'm lazy and only worked out 3 times this week or I've broken the laws of thermodynamics.

That being said hearing the good news that one my other chubby buddies has lost 50lb since the start of the year has been a big kick in the ass. Smaller portions and better food has probably helped in the small loss this week but recent developments may spur a more aggressive training regime in the next few months...a fight!
Provisionally I will be fighting on the 3rd week of October in a white collar event. More news on that in the coming weeks as training intensifies.

Next week, there will be a new video upload, this time i will be trying to increase speed and power.

Till next week

10 week Fattie challenge

So progress is slow and I could say the same old fattie excuses that "it's summer" and "cheese has energy and burgers have protein". However, I promised not to make any excuses so I've decided to add something that bring excitement to the TTF blog ... a graph!

Ok, more specifically a graph that will track a 10 week challenge to lose 20lbs. Its a little ambitious and there is no last minute sweat session to cheat. So I present you with the initial weigh in.

I have body fat measurement on my scales which I know isn't very accurate but any number that drops (or rises if i have a bad week) is a good indicator. I'll update every Wednesday with the news (hopefully good)
