Bowflex 6 week Challenge Week 1 Done!

Well week one completed.

So far so, good.
Weight is now 218.4 lbs. Body fat 27.2%. That is a 3.6 lb loss.

I am a bit disappointed that the 3.6 pounds includes 1.3 lbs of lean body mass. I thought the workouts would compensate for the diet. Not too worried though it is just week one. I will try to intensify the workouts and see what next week brings.

Following the diet has not been as bad as I thought. The eating plan is very straight forward and easy to follow.
To save a few bucks my wife and I took apart one of the Lean cuisine meals and weighed the meat and measured the rice and vegetables, and we made up our own frozen dinners. We bought some low calorie sauces to add some spice and flavour.

This week we add a another 16 oz of water to make a total of 144 oz per day. Glug glug. I think the water drinking requires the most discipline of the entire program.

Will update next Monday after weigh in.
