Tuesday measurement checks. So. Today is a little bit WTF.. I have been gaining weight, but my body fat has gone down another %. I checked, and re checked, and quad checked and then checked again after my shower for good measure.. 12.7% is the reading. I'm definitely closing in on the goal and am completely dumbfounded because I popped above 180 again today. I know I carb loaded this weekend somewhat on purpose to break the plateu I've been in. Trying to work back into a calorie deficit to knock off these last few fat lbs.
Even though I'm closer to an more leveled weight measurement but tracking once a week, a 2.4lb jump in 1 week in LBM is a little out there, so I'm not 100% setting it in the books yet.
I did a lot of work in the yard with tillers and post hole diggers and hauling 500-600 lb boulders around on a dolly, etc. (I am re-landscaping a lot of the front of the house)
Workouts have been good. Yesterday I didn't want to go ALL day and then I always have a blast while I'm in the groove. I'm definitely gaining momentum and muscle gains have been great.
Goal Re-statement: 2/2/2017 "On March 31, 2017, I maintain my ideal weight and health by measuring a 10-12% body fat and 32 inch waist. I do HIIT exercise a minimum of 3 days a week and focus on increasing muscle strength and general mobility. I eat in a simply structured manner with focus on lean meats, substantial vegetables, and minimally processed food. My ultimate goals are to lead a medically healthy (low cholesterol, good BP, etc.) lifestyle and consistently monitor those results to help in personal longevity and to be a good example."
