I was so busy this month that I did not know when the month started and ended! Time just flew. As I mentioned in my previous blog this quarter I am trying to get rid of some of the fat that I gained during my bulking phase from October to December 2009. The goal was to lose 1 lb of fat while gaining 1 lb of muscle during the same time. Basically replace fat with muscle pound per pound.
Here are the raw numbers for the month of January
- Weight: 124.26 lbs
- Fat %: 10.99%
- Fat: 13.66 lbs
- Lean mass: 110.60 lbs
- Weight change: -1.34 lbs
- Fat % change: 1.51%
- Fat change: -2.04 lbs
- Muscle change: 0.7 lbs
The program did not go as planned. I lost 2 lbs of fat which is great! But on the flip side I was able to gain only 0.7 lbs of muscle instead of the planned 1 lb. The main reason is that I got very busy at work and could not give enough attention to my diet. I ate only when I felt hungry. However I did not miss a single workout during that very busy month.
I have to be more careful from next month. Eat a bit more yet be slightly below my daily calorific requirements so I can continue to lose fat.
