I'm not sure if the measurements that have gone up from last week are from increased muscle mass, or just a more accurate measurement than last week. It shows an overall decrease, though, which is excellent!
I fell off the wagon twice this week with carbs, but I made sure that the calorie intake was not excessive. It was also an extremely difficult week at work, which made it to be a far more physically active week in general. On top of that, I incorporated even more exercise as well as attempted a circuit training style workout.
Definitely experiencing more DOMS than I normally do, which tells me that the work out was effective. I need additional weights to make it more effective as the exercises I can rotate are limited as many of them use different weights. Because of this I would rotate between 3-4 exercises that used the same weights or no weights to make it more effective.
I'm able to do push-ups again, though I can tell my left wrist is still unhappy about it. I'm also able to do sit-ups again, though they're very difficult to do with my arms to my chest. I'll keep working on it and it'll get there eventually. I'm going to do some research into other workouts that might be more circuit friendly, but until then I'll get some more weights so it'll be easier to switch. I originally got these barbells so I could adjust it and not have to have a lot of difference dumbbells, but now it is to the point that my progression feels a little hindered by the inability to quickly switch from one exercise to another.
Anyone that is exercise smart might look over my exercises and give me some additional ideas, I would appreciate the assist!
