Today concludes lucky week 13. It was my second week running and I feel great. Running is very addictive. Once you get going you can hardly stop. I’m still getting over the beginning phases and I hope my knee will not hurt at all later. It’s not unbearable but it gets a bit uncomfortable after longer runs. I’ll definitely keep an eye on it.

Since I have started running my cardio sessions went from two a day to one a day, running being it except for Friday when I got back on the elliptical once again. Thursday was a rest day for me based on my new schedule and I went to the driving range to hit some balls instead of taking a full rest.

I have kept all my weight sessions and I’m still lifting as much as I have started with if not a bit more.

My weight went down only 1.5 lbs this week which is far from my earlier pace of 3+ lbs. But I don’t mind that it has slowed down, I’m getting leaner and I really need to start paying more attention to my weight loss and dial it in better for optimal results, meaning keeping muscle on while only losing fat. If I can maintain the 1.5 lbs/week pace I’ll be fine.

My waist hasn’t budged one bit during the last week, it’s sitting right at 39″ which is exactly where it was when I started the week.

Diet has been steady this week with a small climb towards the end of the week. my protein was pretty good, I averaged 140g per day. And without further ado here are the charts:
