Day 3: Scrape your apples!

Ive been doing this for a while and Im not sure if a lot of people are aware, but the wax coating on fruits that makes it oh-so-shiny-appealing, doesn't go off with just a rinse. And even if you wash it with soap, nope, the wax coating doesn't fully come off. The only surefire way to get rid of it is to scrape it, look at what I got from my apple this morning!

<- ugh.. yuck..  imagine that going inside your body???


Anyway, the scales continue to go down at an amazing rate, I wonder how much weight I would lose on the 7th day.

1st working day on the plan and it went well. I wasn't tempted by the usual temptations that I succumb to in this place- chocolates and freshly baked papa roti buns! (I can eat 2 in one go)

I planned to wake up at 5 and do yoga, but failed on that one. Will try again tomorrow.

Boy do I get bored easily. Workload hasn't really come in yet so I was either looking for stuff to do online, or thinking about food. It doesn't help that the coffee in the machine sucks big time! And no coffee shop nearby. The coffee sold in papa roti is also not nice. Maybe Ive just gotten used to Tchibo.

By 12 noon, I already had 1 fruit and 1 DC. Was really looking forward to lunch so that I have something else to do. Was craving too, but not for a specific food, but craving to eat something despite of being occupied. Hmmm there sure lies a problem there.

Daily temptations list is starting to take form.... :D

I took my measurements yesterday. I just did a quick one, the important parts. I may have to do it again as I checked my previous chart, it was so detailed and it was in 'cms'.

Had to work late. Reached hone at 8 and cooked dinner. Ate before 9. Meh. 

Day 3: deviation free. 1 fruit under allowance.

STATISTICS

I am shy to post photo's of myself, so here are the fitness parameters (definitions below chart) that I am watching out for. Im grateful for the inclusion of the inBody fat analysis machine at the gym that I can use for free, so I dont succumb to weighing in daily.

During the Cohen phase, I will base my success on:

a) weight loss
b) clothes size
c) how much of that weight is actually from fat and not from muscle mass
d) actual measurements

As I seriously dont know how CD will affect my figures based on these parameters.

Those highlighted in moccha will be double checked and may change.. somehow measurements didnt make sense..
its difficult to take your own measurements in some parts.. :D

   

DEFINITIONS

Muscle mass is the weight of muscle in your body. Muscle mass percentage (also called lean body mass) is actually composed of your muscle, bone tissue, and the water in your body and organs. Calculating your muscle mass percentage determines how much of your total body weight is lean mass versus how much is body fat.

Body fat mass is the total weight of the person's fat and consists of essential body fat and storage body fat. Essential body fat is necessary to sustain life and reproductive functions and is 3%-5% in men and 8€“12% in women. Storage body fat comprises of fat accumulation in the adipose tissues, part of which protects internal organs in the chest and abdomen.

Total Body Water Percentage is the total amount of fluid in a person’s body expressed as apercentage of their total weight.

Fat-free mass is comprised of the nonfat components of the human body. Skeletal muscle, bone and water are all examples of fat-free mass.

The body mass index (BMI), or Quetelet index, is a measure for human body shape based on an individual's mass and height.

The body fat percentage of a human or other living being is the total mass of fat divided by total body mass; body fat includes essential body fat and storage body fat.

Waist–hip ratio is the ratio of the circumference of the waist to that of the hips

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is defined as the rate at which your body uses energy when you are resting in order to keep vital functions going such as breathing.
