Yep, that's right, my body fat percentage increased from 20.5% on Day 1 to 20.9% on Day 8. I also dropped about three fourths of a pound, which would normally be good news. But corresponding with an increase in body fat, it means I lost more muscle than fat!!! I know that the first week is really just setting the table for the weeks to come, and that this is probably just a blip with my Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Scale, but it's disconcerting nonetheless.
I've been doing all my workouts, and making sure I hit at least 70% of my weight in grams of protein. I'm thinking that the key here is to relax and not worry about it. This isn't a linear journey, there are peaks and valleys along the way. Besides, the book tells you to not check progress until week 4, but I couldn't wait that long. So, I will stay the course!
Happy Valentines Day, All!
