Well, the week is behind me. I did 45 minutes of cardio this morning. I did a modified HIIT, doing some steady cardio for about 10 minutes, then about 10 minutes of HIIT and back to 25 minutes of steady cardio. I got a great workout and felt energized afterward.
I just finished my measurements and here are the results:
| Item | Current | Previous | Change |
| Weight | 234 | 238 | -4.00 |
| Body Fat % | 19.20 | 20.50 | -1.30 |
| LBM | 189.19 | 189.33 | -0.14 |
| Chest | 44.75 | 44.50 | +0.25 |
| Left Bi | 13.13 | 13.00 | +0.13 |
| Right Bi | 13.50 | 13.50 | No change |
| Abdomen | 42.50 | 42.50 | No change |
| Left Quad | 26.25 | 26.25 | No change |
| Right Quad | 26.50 | 26.50 | No change |
| Left Calf | 17.50 | 17.50 | No change |
| Right Calf | 17.50 | 17.50 | No change |
I'm completely jazzed about my weight loss and fat loss this week. This is by far the best week I've had with both items. I did lose a small amount of LBM, but with the amount of fat I dropped this week (3.86 pounds) I am not concerned. I believe the muscle will return in very short order with the Opimal Anabolics workout that I'm following. Next week the program has me stressing the body a little bit more than this week. It will be interesting to see how the decrease in rest periods pans out during the workout itself.
