Day 28. The plan for 2012

It just occurred to me that I never posted my week 3 stats. That has now been fixed in the appropriate post. Here are my week 4 stats:

Week 4 stats (in bold):
Stomach: 32.0 in -> 32.75
Chest: 31.5 in -> 31.5
Biceps: 10.25 in -> 10.0
Hip: 36.75 in -> 37.0
Thigh: 18.75 in -> 19.0
Calf: 13.25 in -> 13.25
Waist: 28.5 in -> 27.75
Neck: 12.5 in -> 12.5
Weight: 130 lbs -> 130
BF%: 26.0 -> 25.4


My measurements are not changing much. My weight, which I expect to be decreasing, is not changing at all. It's very stable at 130 lbs despite my exercise and diet. My stomach fat does not seem to be decreasing either. On the other hand, my cardiovascular strength is much increased. Three weeks ago my resting heart rate was at 60 bpm. Today it is at 53 bpm. It is clear that my body is now much healthier and stronger than it was before. So even though I may not see a real difference in my physique just yet, I'm sure if I fight through I will see changes eventually.


In my last post, I said that 2011 wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be. To ensure that 2012 will be better, I've made a checklist of things to accomplish this year. Here it is:


-get my MSc
-become proficient at pole dancing
-become conversationally fluent in Italian
-lose my excess fat
-make new friends
