Week 15 Results!

26/4/2014

0 Comments

 
It's another early Saturday weigh in. It's King's Day here in the Netherlands and we're going out to experience it with friends in Amsterdam. There will be eating and alcohol :-)

Weigh in for this week 112.5 kg with 45.0% body fat.

Results;
Weight -    up 0.1 kgs                             Total -  down 5.4 kgs
Body Fat - down 2.0%                           Total -  down 3.5%

Oh so good to get back into pilates! I started slowly with some short gentle 20 minute classes and increased as the week went on. Got in a few brisk walks to and explored parts of Weesp I haven't seen (only 12 minutes and I'm surrounded by cows and houseboats!).
Usually I'm not convinced that the body fat drop is 'for real' but I'm confident this week that this decrease will stick around (mostly) as my body keeps feeling lighter and looking healthier even though my weight isn't dropping. 
Don't forget muscle has greater density than fat (a pound is a pound, so don't think muscle weighs more than fat). Muscle also helps burn fat so don't ever feel bad if you've been pumping iron, running on the treadmill and your weight increases slightly or drops slowly for a period. This is why a tape measure and using your clothes can be a better gauge for your goals or even better a 'personal best' you've been working towards.

    Hi I'm Katharine and I'm taking a leap of faith in myself...
    Originally from Melbourne, Australia now living in a little river side town in the Netherlands called Weesp. 
    I am on a journey, to not only establish a new life in a new country, and new surroundings, but to establish a life that is full of health and boundless abundance.
    I founded this website to track my journey; to take time off and use food, massage, gentle exercise and more as medicine.

    It's not about being vegetarian or vegan but about being kind to yourself, making a step to include more plant based food into your life and reaping the rewards....
