Muscle and Fitness Rock Hard Challenge Week 3

Week 3 was interesting. I did not have a dramatic change in weight like I did last week, but things are still headed I the proper direction. I’m annoyed that my thighs are not shrinking any, but I am finding it difficult to measure there, so it could simply be that.  I don’t want to lose much lean mass, so slow and steady does the trick. My diet remains clean for most of the week, and I am sticking with the carb cycling strategy suggested in the RHC page.

	Week 1	Week 2	Week 3
Waist	35”	34”	33.8”
Thigh	26”	25.6”	25.6”
Upper Arm	15”	15”	14.9”
Chest	44.5”	44.5”	44.3”
Weight	185	180.3	179.5

Week 2 of the Muscle and Fitness Rock Hard Challenge.

I honestly forgot to take my measurements on Saturday, so they will have to wait until another post. I have hit a milestone, though. I finally had a weigh in at 180 lbs! It was actually 180.3, but who is counting the .3? I have been struggling to get there for the past 6 months and you might ask “What did it?” Would you believe it was adding between 300 and 800 calories per day, including the addition of carbs? It’s the truth. I’m adding a progress pic as well.

That's nearly 5 lbs in a week and I am eating more! I'm very excited. Carb/calorie cycling has really been paying off for me.

Update - Weekly Stats

	Week 1	Week 2
Waist	35	34
Thigh	26	25.6
Upper Arm	15	15
Chest	44.5	44.5

Week 1 of the Muscle and Fitness Rock Hard Challenge

Here is my weeekly check in:
Height: 66" (5' 6")
Weight: 185 lbs
Thigh: 26"
Waist: 35" (at widest part around bellybutton)
Arms 15"
Chest: 44.5"

I have given up on any hope of accurately measuring my bodyfat at the local Y. In the past 2 months I have gotten readings ranging from 7% to 17%. Clearly their machine is defective.
