TRA Programme: Day 45 and 53

TRA Programme: Day 45

Yes! I’ve lost more weight…So far, I’ve lost a further 600g (total 1.8kg). A tad slow in my opinion. Have to work harder. Fats-wise, I’ve lost an additional 100g only, whilst there has not been any change in the weight of the skeletal muscle. Hmmm, so does this mean I’ve lost more water?

I’ve lost another 3 cm off the tummy (total: 8 cm).

Visceral fats level is still at 4.

More resistance exercises to keep it going...

TRA Programme: Day 53

I don’t know if I’m happy or upset. I started to hit the gym the past week (there's a gym at home). So far, I only went twice and both times, I did interval training on the treadmill. The other change I made to the programme, was to switch my Trimshake to lunch instead of dinner. I was thinking, that perhaps it would be more effective, as I would have more activity (walking around etc) after lunch, compared with after dinner.

The good news: My fats level dropped quite a bit (lost about 800g of fat over the week) and I gained much more skeletal muscle (gained about 500g of muscle). My BMR went up and my body age decreased by 1 year! Good achievement, I think. :)

The not-so-good news: As muscle is heavier than fats, my body weight went up by 600g since the last measurement. Visceral fats remained the same. Hmmmm….

Oh well, as long as there’s more muscle and a younger body…..overall, it’s good. :)

I think I will continue with the gym sessions. Perhaps more frequently from now on. Let’s see how it goes.

On the whole, I do feel less lethargic now, compared to before. Some days I do feel as though I am catching the flu bug (hey, I'm human too, and susceptible to viruses too), but so far, I have fallen ill only once (major case of runny nose and subsequently, a phlegmy cough). And I recovered fully within 3 days (I used to take a week). I guess that copious amounts of fruits, vegetables and Lifepak supplements (multi-vitamins and anti-oxidants) helped. :)
