Fitness challenge officially started!

Posted by Nico in Nico, tags: , , , ,

Even though my DEXA scan was a couple of weeks ago, today was the official start of the weight-loss competition at work. I’m really hoping that while I started being extremely careful about my eating, other competitors waited until today to start… which should mean that I’ve had an extra 2 weeks to work towards my goal; a head-start if you will.

At any rate, I met with the trainer: Shelly Wilkin from Sierra Body Works. The 20 minute talk was pretty reassuring that I’ve been doing the right thing, since she said that it’ll be a great way to get my to my goal of 18% body fat.
Right now, at 22% BF, my body is composed of 39lbs of fat and 131lbs of lean tissue. If when I get to 18% BF, my body’s composition would will be 140lbs of leanness and 30 lbs of fat. So, the plan is to lose fat and replace it with muscle. Ahoy, here we go!
