So here are my numbers from body fat calculator today with my PT!!!
- Current weight of 47kg. Thats a Loss of 6kg - I do not want to lose much more weight so going to need to think about perhaps increasing my nutrition a little and not increasing the amount of cardio I am doing. Trainer suggested including some eggs to breakfast so I'm going to try it - oats, coffee, shake and eggs on toast! My goodness!!! That's an awful lot of food! Might need to get up 30mins earlier o I have time to eat it all ;)
- 5% loss in body fat. Currently sitting at 17%. I was really hoping it would be under 20% so I'm really happy with that! Need to check what my goal % was at the beginning of the challenge - may need to reassess.
- Lean mass weight has gone down a bit so need to build more muscles!
I also spoke to my trainer about where to from here. We are going to start a split program as Maxine's have suggested. It will look something like this:
- Monday - shoulders and chest
- Tuesday - legs
- Wednesday - cardio (1hr easy run)
- Thursday - morning walk, afternoon whole body weights
- Friday - cardio (1hr easy run)
- Saturday - back and biceps
- Sunday - rest or easy cardio
This should see my gym time actually shorten to 45mins each day. Will take a bit to get my head around that idea. I was thinking that with 8 weeks to go I need to be doing more - spending more time in the gym and doing more cardio. But doing much more cardio won't be beneficial for gaining muscle and will possibly result in me losing too much weight.
My trainer has also done up an abdominal program for me. We didn't have time to go through it today so will do it next week. I'm looking forward to seeing it because I hate doing ab work and its always the thing that I conveniently don't have time for! So hopefully having a program specifically for core work will hold me more accountable.
5 days left of my push-up challenge. After doing shoulders and chest this morning I am SO thankful that today is a rest day for that challenge! Need to put some thought into a challenge for next month!
