Davis Diet Update, June 2009

 

This update is a tad late, due to computer hardware malfunction and injury. My results as of June 4, 2009 were as follows.

Weight        197.4

Percent body fat     31.4

percent muscle      37.3

chest      43

waist      36

hips       36

From May 09 to June I lost about 3.4 lbs, which was a little below my target about 2.6 lbs. When I stalled I reviewed my diet, which I kept the same as before. I decided to increase my exercise by walking daily for an hour after my workouts. However, on May 27, 2009, I pulled my right hamstring playing softball. I am getting to old to play the way I do, I guess I need to slow down. Then that Saturday I was wrapping my hamstring an my back went out, I was barely able to straighten up and it took til the following Tuesday for me to be able to walk with out aids of my daughters old crutches. So needless to say I took a step backwards before realizing it and returned to 200 lbs. No exercising and no reduction in diet adds up to weight put on. I reduced my diet and have maintained that weight for the last two weeks. Whats hard is I was so use to working out it was really frustrating for me not to be able to do anything. My hamstring feels fine now, and my back has not hurt for two days. So I will start my exercises again on Monday the 22 of June. Due to the injuries I will start back with just exercises and walking, when I can do that without pain I will slowly increase the intensity and duration of my workouts. So word of caution be careful, and if you do hurt your self give it time to heal and start back slowly.
