Thursday was the final day of my 50-day challenge to improve my fitness and leanness during the Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year's holidays. As I've written before, an ankle injury during the middle of the challenge may have slowed me down a little bit, but the positive effect was that I began hitting upper body very heavily in the gym. I've definitely benefited from that.
So my results overall for the past 50 days: Scale weight has gone from 144 (lean body mass of 108 pounds) to 137.2 (lean body mass of 109.8 pounds). That means I've lost 8.6 pounds of fat and gained nearly two pounds of muscle. Not too shabby for seven weeks.
I want to thank my motivators on dailyburn.com, especially Lila, the queen of all motivators.
