Interesting morning on the scale. Weight is up, but my jeans are falling down even with my trusty belt, so I guess I'm going to have to suck it up and buy a new belt. I like it. I also reclaimed an old habit the last week or so. I used to do squats and plies when brushing my teeth which is two minutes. Super easy, doesn't take any extra time as long as you brush daily, and it also helps your balance if you mix things up. When I started with this scale at the end of November, it looked like this:
WEIGHT 160.7 lb FAT MASS 41.3 % LEAN MASS 58.7 % BMI 32.5 Nov 28, 2019 8:11 AM
Today, it looks like this (that weight from the holidays will drop): WEIGHT 162.5 lb FAT MASS 40.5 % LEAN MASS 59.5 % BMI 32.8 Jan 3, 2020 7:56 AM
So even with the extra 2 lbs, the muscle mass is up, fat mass is down, and I'm walking around with my pants falling down which saves me more grief than the scale. Also the fact that I can toss in an extra 30 minutes at speed in the pool or on the trail without dying. One of the ironic things about the improvement in fitness is that it's really hard for me to get my heart rate up on the treadmill without actually running which is non-option for me because of knee and achilles injury issues. Also shows how silly BMI is if you're short, tall, athletic or muscular or have breasts which is not exclusive to women.
