Weight and Muscle Goals: January - March 2010

It is already 3 weeks into the new quarter and I did not yet write my goals. I have it in my mind. it is just that I did not put it down on paper yet. So for the next 3 months my goal is to gain 3 lbs of fat while maintaining the same weight. It simply means I will have to convert 3 lbs of fat into muscle! Here are the raw numbers

January 1, 2010: Baseline
Weight: 125.6 lbs
Fat %: 12.5%
Fat: 15.7 lbs
Lean Mass: 109.9 lbs

Note that I am using the caliper measurement for fat. I don't think I can rely on the omron body fat monitor. I will still keep track of the fat numbers from omron fat monitor daily but I probably will not use them in any calculations. Since I cannot take the caliper measurement everyday I will use the fat % number that is closest to a particular date I am refering to.

March 31, 2010: Goal
Weight: 125.6 lbs
Fat %: 10.11%
Fat: 12.7 lbs
Lean Mass: 112.9 lbs

Change in 3 months
Weight: 0
Fat %: 2.39 %
Fat: -3 lbs
Muscle: 3 lbs

I will try and not lose more fat at the expense of muscle. So it will be ok if I don't lose the 3 lbs of fat, but I definitely do want to gain the 3 lbs of muscle. We will see how that goes...

About

I am a skinny guy. Have always been skinny. Have not considered bodybuilding until August 2008. From that day forward I decided to put some muscle and make sure I write my everyday experience. What I eat, how much I workout and such. I am 5' 5" and weigh about 118 lb (53 kgs) as of August 2008. My goal is to weigh 140 lb at 7% body fat by the end of 2010
