Day 59/63 - June 20th, 2008 Weigh In

June 20th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

It’s been about 3 weeks since I last posted a weigh in and the 9 week challenge is coming to an end. Here are the latest numbers:

As of June 20th, 2008:
Weight: 213.0 pounds (-65.2 since starting to work out / -77 since starting to eat better)
Bodyfat %: 25.3 (-10.6%)
Hydration %: 51.3 (+7.3%)

I hit my goal of wanting to get down to 215 by the end of the challenge! I was hovering around 215-216 for the last few days, but after that first sparring class, I dropped to 213 - all sweat? I’ve been drinking water non-stop since then and haven’t gained any back, so hopefully not.

For the other 9 week challenge stats, I’ve improved in all of them:

Pull Ups: Can do 2 1/2-3 on my bar at home from a dead hang - my bar has foam grips though which I think makes it easier to hold on to

Push Ups: From a fresh-start, can do 35-40 max - seems to take a long time for the muscles to ‘recharge’ after though… not sure how to improve that

Box Squats: I haven’t measured this since the start, but I’ve lost 25 pounds and done thousands of squats and hundreds of jumping squats since then… so I’m thinking this will go up

Broad Jump: Again haven’t measured, but I’m lighter and stronger - it’ll be interesting to see how much further I can jump now

I think the final weigh-in is this weekend. I can’t wait to see my final measured numbers. This spring I’d been stuck hovering back and forth between 225 and 235, but the last 9 weeks have really kick-started things in the right direction again.
