Weekly Stats and Nutrition Changes

Here are the weekly weigh in stats:

Weight: 132.4 lbs
Body Fat: 21.9%
Water: 57.1%
Lean Body Mass: 98.2
Rating: 6
BMR: 1404
Metabolic Age: 15
Visceral Fat: 2

So, I'm kind of sad that the weekly stats aren't more impressive, but I have to say that I am getting really really close to reaching a new level of fitness.

I say that because:

1. I weighed myself yesterday morning and was 129 lbs. Why I am heavier tonight, who knows.

2. My lean body mass is definitely increasing now, and you can see that my body fat % is down 2% from the beginning of November. I want to be 19% by the end of the year... well on Thursday night I was 20.9% and then yesterday it was 19%... I was really extra hydrated which is why I don't think it was as great today. But if I get to 19% in the next couple weeks I will be super stoked because that puts me right where I want to be for starting out 2010 in Contest Prep.

3. My body rating is always a 6. Well, when my body fat dropped to 20.9% on Thursday, it changed to a 9! A 9 means that you have lower body fat than normal and higher muscle mass than normal. It is technically considered athlete status. That makes me more excited than anything.

4. My visceral fat was a 1 yesterday when I weighed. That is as low as I can go on the scale!

So you can see that if all of this happened over the weekend, I'm getting really close to seeing it on the weekly weigh in. Super exciting!

Also, it is time to get extra serious. Soon Amy will be putting me on an official off season diet. But also, today was the first day of me taking some new supplements: Yohimbe fuel for energy, Creatine to build muscle, and Glutamine to help build muscle. So my supplementation is full on with me taking about 14 pills a day and 3 tsp of powder, along with 2 servings of whey or soy protein a day. I'm definitely getting used to having all of this extra stuff to keep track of.
