My first weigh in

I spent Thursday and Friday sick in bed. It really sucks and kind of derailed my exercise routine. I'm better now but I took four days off to rest up. I still did my first weigh in and I have to say I'm pleased with the overall results.

My starting weight is 100.1 kg/220 lbs. I didn't gain any weight over the holidays. In fact I lost 3 kilos.

I'm also doing measurements to track in case i don't drop any more pounds. I'm measuring my arms, legs, chest and waist.

Arms = 34 cm/13 in
Legs = 58 cm/22 in
Chest = 107 cm/42 in
Waist = 97 cm/38 in

The last time I did a 12 week routine, I lost 13cm/5cm off my waist. So at the very least I should see a similar drop even if I don't lose any weight. I don't expect that to happen this time. I will be very surprised if I don't see a drop in weight this time.

One additional thing I'm doing is tracking my caloric intake. I should be around 2200 calories a day to get down to 185-190. I'm using fitday.com to track what I eat. It breaks down the calories by nutritional graph, average daily calories and how much I've eaten compared to how much energy I've burned.

Right now I'm getting 1900 calories a day at best. I need to eat a larger lunch or a larger breakfast. I can't super load all my missing calories before bed.
