Siegels's Journal, 27 December 2019

Trying to let go of a number, while maintaining limits on eating.

Exercising to build muscle back up and trying to recognize that takes energy and it adds weight.

The elusive goal remains to add 5 pounds of muscle and lose 3 pounds of fat, at 55.

Try to regain the body I had 10 years ago, before all the injuries, before the age-related changes, and before life became a daily exercise in stress management.

sounds totally reasonable and do-able, right? 😉
142.8 lb Lost so far: 4.2 lb.    Still to go: 2.8 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

We are pretty much in the same boat, but I'm pushing 59, and the age thing starts to take wings. At 54 I was cut. I'm taking what I believe is my last stab at 10% BF. Lots of luck.

Almost 65 here. The work is harder and your body composition does change. Stress is definitely something you need to limit as much as possible. I've also found I have had to increase the variety of exercises done. Weights, balance, yoga, recumbent biking, swimming. My husband does competitive softball (no beer league), weights, stretching, and road biking. He is around 12% body fat and looks great. There is hope guys. One of his friends is in his 70's and definitely 10 or less percent body fat. Hope that helps.
