First thing is weigh in, 115.4 kg -0.1 kg from yesterday. It’s funny with the weight being reduced, an interesting observation is that the fat mass % is increasing which is a bit weird. Given how structured and healthy i am eating AND the fact that i am adding a fair bit of activity in my life i would expect the fat mass % to be dropping. It may just be an oddity on the withings body cardio scales.
Looking at the table in Garmin the various analysis done does fell very out of wack
Today was a long day in the office, lots of doc writing and reviewing others information. But also, lots of calls and calls went on till late today.
Walking was as always positive, 32k steps and just over 16 miles walked. Although i ran into a few difficulties over the day as the belt kept drifting to the left. I need to spend some time to fix and address that.
Today was a little higher on calories than normal. Not a massive amount and i still stayed within the limits of my constraints.
But the net calories continue to be positive, with my activity helping me burn calories off throughout the day.
Tonight, after i came in, i still ended up doing both DDP Yoga and Peloton. Although DDP Yoga was just a stretch class, but still a 20 min stretch class which i need for walking, however the peloton weights class was tough. I am not 18 anymore…. that’s clear. I just cannot lift the same weights that i use too (today!), it’s going to be a journey but i will get there.
I know lifting weights is important. Lifting free weights burns calories because it is a form of resistance training, which causes muscle fibers to contract and break down. The body then needs to repair and rebuild those muscle fibers, which requires energy in the form of calories. Additionally, resistance training can increase muscle mass, which can lead to an increase in resting metabolism, meaning that the body burns more calories at rest.
I need to carry on both the free weight training and the body weight training and keep accelerating my body to burn calories!
Right, time for a shower and then bed and then the long Wednesday awaits!
