3 pounds of fat and 5 pounds of muscle to go.
I'm 53, and probably have around 10% body fat. I'd prefer 5%. The biggest challenge for me has always been putting on muscle. At 46 I was training hard for an hour a day, taking protein supplements, and was in the best shape of my life, even compared to being very fit in my teens and twenties. These last 8 years have seen some major changes in my life, my stressors, my behavior, and therefore .....my body.
I'm hoping I can get close to where I was at 46, without the constant hunger, the extra intensity, the constant muscle aches and the extra time training. When I say it that way it doesn't seem all that likely, or reasonable.
I guess life is about choices. Sounds like I'm choosing to be 10% fat, less muscular, and perhaps a bit more balanced.
OK, good luck to everyone today. May you reach your goals, whatever they may be.
