Week 12 of "Project Buffbert" - by the numbers
Category Everything Else
So I've been asked how the Kinetix program was going in terms of "Project Buffbert"... I did get an eight week body comp test, but I didn't get around to blogging it (partially busy, partially not the news I had hoped for). So in order to get back on the right track, I'm blogging the Week 12 check-in which took place today...
So this was one of those "bad news, not quite as bad news" stories. As I shared recently, my stress levels have been really high over the last month or so. I've definitely been stress eating, and I've repeatedly talked myself out of exercising due to being tired or being too lazy. All that showed up in the week 8 results when I gained weight (fat, not muscle) and started to slip. To be honest, I really did expect week 12 to be more of the same... In fact I was starting to wonder if I had perhaps taken myself back to the starting line...
So the "bad" news is I'm still up from week 4. The not-so-bad news is that I'm down from week 8 in good ways. I'm at my highest lean body mass of the program (which is saying something given how flaky I've been of late), and I'm only a 1/2 pound up from my low body fat weight. And I've got some people who have been given express permission to keep kicking me in the posterior to not let me slide.
So, I've mentally regrouped a bit, and it's onward from here... really.
