Week 3 - July 14, 2008 Start Weight: 169#    Fat Percentage: 15% From Start: -6 pounds    From Start: -3% Week 2 is finally over and I say that as it seemed like a long week. As you know we were camping up at Tahoe and of all the weeks this one was going to somewhat difficult. But I stuck to my diet, not cheating once, which was tough with all of the snack food that was lying around. For breakfast I brought my egg starters and oatmeal. I usually had almonds or a protein bar for a snack in between lunch. For lunch I made chicken, tuna, fish, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. If I felt drained I would pop an apple or have some cottage cheese. I found that I needed some sort of snack that felt like I was camping so 2 or 3 times I had some lean beef jerky which helped with the protein fix. For dinner we had lean turkey meat which made an excellent chili, salmon over salad, hobo stew with chicken, and other normal protein type dinners. I made sure to drink a ton of water which was good because it was damn hot! I rocked my cardio every day by riding my road bike. I woke up early in the morning when everyone was still sleeping and went for an hour ride around Donner Lake. It was a beautiful way to start each day! In the evening we would usually go for another bike ride with the family. Unfortunately I was only able to use the workout bands twice during the trip. It seemed like we were always doing something during the day and when we returned I felt exhausted. Looking at the side photos from this week vs. last week I can tell the size of my arms and belly has decreased. At first I thought my arms are shrinking… But then I realized that I have fat around my arms and that is disappearing. As much as I wish that my belly fat would come off first it just doesn’t work like that. This week I am going to hit the weights hard as I want to see some major changes in pictures for next week. Thanks for sticking with me and have a great week!  Week 4 Online
