Velocity Diet - Day 15 - Start of Week Three

The second week is in the bag.
Here are my updated composition stats:

Weight: 186
Waist: 34"
Neck: 15.50
Bicep: 13.75
Body fat: 22.2% (bathroom scale)
Body fat: 15% (Navy Tables)

This is interesting since the numbers are in conflict. My weight is only down two pounds from last week but my waist is smaller by a full inch. My bathroom scale says my body fat percentage has barely changed (-0.3%) but the Navy Scales claim a full 2% reduction!

The bathroom scale can only be correct if I lost significant muscle mass this week. That seems unlikely since I am getting stronger in my lifts rather than weaker. However, the Navy Scales can only be correct if I have actually added muscle mass this week. That would be a welcome surprise but is unlikely too because of the calorie restriction.

So, I'll assume that the real body fat change is in between the two measurements and that I lost about 1% body fat which lines up well with the 2 pound weight loss.

I had another strong workout yesterday and slept well last night although for only 7 hours. I did have a period of strong hunger in the evening and started feeling really sorry for myself. I felt much better after cooking dinner for my family :-)

On to week three!
