Weeks 9 & 10 - The Home Stretch5/5/2021 ProgressHonestly, I have been slacking on the working out part of the weight gaining process. I have baseball Monday through Friday, so I have a hard time finding time to work out. But even though I haven't worked out much, I have eaten much more like I said I would. I have tried to incorporate more protein bars and mini meals in between breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I currently weighed in at 138 pounds on the dot this week. Not where I want to be, but I am maintaining my gain from the beginning of the project. If you remember, my original goal was 145 to 150 pounds. My real goal was 145, but 150 would've been great. With only a couple weeks left, I have realized it is going to be hard to be able to gain that five to seven pounds with this limited time. I am happy with how my project has gone so far, but I wish I could've gained more weight. One thing I am very proud of myself for is my dedication to eating more each week and working out whenever I can. Even though I haven't seen much growth in weight, I have definitely accomplished the other half of my goal. I have really got stronger in the weight room and I have seen a big difference on the baseball field because of it. My whole goal was to gain weight and get stronger so I can get better at baseball, so the strength I have gained from working out has definitely accomplished that. What does the rest of the project look like?So, I only have 2 weeks left pretty much. Weeks 11 and 12 are going to be weeks were I kind of finish up some things and focus on the final presentation of this project. I will do a final weigh in to measure if I have decreased, stayed the same, or increased my weight over the 12 week time period. My prediction is that I will be around the same weight as when I started. This isn't what I wanted, but I have gotten so much stronger and I feel like that is a bigger success than anything. I will continue to eat as much protein as possible and workout when I don't have baseball.
