I am excited to have my new Tanita 731 (I chose this one for the athlete mode so my DH can use it too).
I am excited to see my visceral fat is good (that triggered the purchase of this scale), but I suspected that this scale would give higher body fat %.
I feel down because of this, but reassured in a way.
My previous scale provided a 20.6% and thought I am not that close to being athletic (18%), so Tanita says I am 25% which is more realistic. The great news is that Tanita says I am 15 years younger, HA, HA, HA!
So, I chose to join Delicate's DietBet because it starts on 23rd of Feb which is close enough to my last bet, AND most importantly, it does corresponds perfectly to my hormonal timing. I am very pumped to try this new "program"-lifestyle.
I bought Michelle Berger's ebook one week ago (BuffMother.com) and so happy someone did the "math" for me, because I was so far a believer that I perform and eat differently depending on where I stand with my hormones. Don't ask me any workout on Day 1 + I eat a lot of carbs!...but that was basically it. Hormonal Timing goes WAY BEYOND THIS...Also I like variety. It will so much better suit my personality and need for variability to set a plan for 14 days, and another one for another 14 days.
Delicate's challenge is right starting in my Boosting phase: 3-5 workout per week...mostly plain resistance training.I can do cardio, any style that I fancy and eat more carbs than in Buffing phase.
SOOOO... I took removable stickers and put on my monthly planner. If I don't do an optional one, I'll remove the sticker, if a required workout, I'll have to move further down in the calendar until I do it. When a workout is completed I write it with a pen.= 3 to 5 workouts per week.
For buffing phase, Resistance will be done in circuits including cardio interludes 3x/week, + 3x/week of HIIT (tabata, bodyweight circuits,etc... my standard Zgym workouts)= 6workouts per week.
