Weight - 100.3kg
Bodyfat% - 14%
Lean mass - 85.5kg
Body fat - 14.7kg
I relaxed on my diet a little this week, tending to record calories and macros maybe once every second day. I still tried eating correct portion sizes however. Cardio also slipped just a little this week, though I still did about 5 days of cardio this week.
I am not sure on the accuracy of the calipers, it looks like I am losing muscle mass a bit too fast to be realistic. I will need to do some research and tighten up my exercise and diet a little more again.
I find it best to take these weekly measurements with a grain of salt, it takes hundreds (maybe even thousands) of measurement with the calipers to be considered 'professional' and even then I believe bodyfat measurements to be approximate within 4%.
As I am mainly focusing on aesthetics for this fat loss, I am not too worried about statistics or numbers. Once I have reached my goal, that is to look good in the mirror, visible abdominals maybe, I will then decide if I wish to work further and start lifting.
In an ideal world I should lift now, but I do not wish for a gym membership and haven't invested in a set of home weights yet. I have been slack in muscle training, when I started this project I did bodyweight exercises 3 times a week, push-ups, pull-ups and the like, but I ended up slacking off and continuing my daily cardio. I may have to start this practice back up.
Things seem to be going well and I have no intention of stopping this.
