My Body Transformation Log – Day 36
Objective: To Burn Fat Gain Muscle Mass And Transform My Body In 12 Weeks
Today I decided to listen to my body and just take it easy, so there won’t be any workout detailed below. Instead of the usual, I thought I’d take this opportunity to get caught up and make my body transformation week 5 progress report post.
I opted out of the workout that I had planned and let my body rest. Sometimes backing off a bit and allowing your body to rest and recover is one of the smartest things you can do to continue progressing towards your goals without risking an unnecessary injury – or heading into over-training mode. Tomorrow I plan on being back at the gym, ready to give it my all for a great workout, but today I’m just going to rest.
My Body Transformation Initial Goals
I like to list my initial goals for this 12 week body transformation before I list my current measurements. It allows anyone who’s new to the blog an opportunity to get some perspective on how much I’ve accomplished over the course of the past 5 weeks.
- To gain 25lbs of lean body mass
- To lower my body fat level from 23.2% to 8%
- To increase the size of my arms by 2 inches
- To increase the size of my legs by 3 inches
- To get killer six pack abs
- To really focus on building up the muscle in my back
And Here Are All of My Current Body Transformation Week 5 Measurements
- Percent Body Fat – 13.4% (an overall improvement of -9.8%)
- Current Lean Body Mass – 165.4 lbs (an overall improvement of +14.1 lbs)
- Current Fat Weight – 25.6 lbs (an overall improvement of -20.1 lbs)
So far, I have to say that I’m really happy with the progress that I’ve made over the course of the past 5 weeks of training and dieting. I think I’m really going to be able to achieve all of my goals by the end of the 12 weeks without having to get too crazy with my diet or workouts – pretty exciting stuff!
Well…that’s all for my body transformation progress report week 5 update.
Your Friend And Trainer,
Nick

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
I like the theme on this blog. Is it downloadable anywhere?

I wonder if this will become a nation-wide trend. My idea is that by the passing of the next next recession, this will be a huge craze. Very interesting in out-reporting the the mainstream media on this one.
very informativearticles
I feel like the skin companies are just to profit motivated to really say anything ever, i suppose they have them they are just to much of wusses to ever really yell out their idea/s.
