Update and stuff
Well this week was the first that I only lost one pound and then, went up .08% body fat ? Hmmm, assuming it is a female related hormonal water thing and decided I don’t care. I will weigh again this Saturday and I am also having a hydro body fat test! It’s $65 and worth every cent in my opinion, I am also getting a metabolic test to gauge my non-exercise BMR. I have seen both of these things done, and have given the metabolic test at the gym I worked for more than a few times, but have never had the privilege, I just do the math problem and go by those numbers. When I do my body comp currently, I weigh on my home digital scale, and at the gym on the traditional beam doctor’s office version; then I am pinched via 7-sites (by a long time certified trainer that knows how to do it, this is important), and then we also do an OMRON although I have never been a big fan, the error margin is 3% plus/minus and that is a big chunk to competitors that measure by smaller incriments than that for sure.
Weight: 137 lbs
Body Fat: 17% OMRON; pinch 17.3% (this is the closest it’s ever been)
My clothes are all loser, my abs are peeking out at the top and my pelvis and hip bones are nicely popping out; stupid gage of body comp but I know when and where I lose weight first. My back isn’t coming out and cutting up like normal for some reason; really working on stripping that smooth look out of my legs this season. I tend to end up 6 weeks out from a show, ripped on top, striated delts, nice deep cuts in my back and abs are 3/4 of the way out..but legs are smooth. they are hard, and tight, and my vastus lat is clearly visible and my semis on the back are clearly visible, but I cannot seem to get ant more seperated or leaned out in this area. this is an issue a lot of ladies I know that compete have; they lean out too quickly on top with regards to the progress of the lower body. Need to even out my leaning this time.
I have intentionally hesitated on posting pictures, I got some photo shoot pics back, albeit they are not at all fitness related, and I weigh 143 lbs in them! they are however burlesque/pin-up photos and it certainly is an off season physique hobby! I love my pics, and my body in either condition, but I admit that my fit, contest ready physique about 3 weeks out from stage day is my favorite ~ I feel the best then 
I will consider posting my weekly pics this week, we dont have to for the contest, we only have to post the before pics, which I did, ugh; I had intentionally taken them after a cheat day, a lot of alcohol, and little water; so I am a water buffalo… but that was on January 2nd. I am down 14 lbs now and really impressed with my ability to take this weight off easily and without much pain for three consecutive seasons. I will be working on gaining only about 10-15 lbs when not in-season, its really bad on the metabolism. My temp is just recently up to 98.6 upon waking, it was down for months around 95.8-96.3 and I was dragging ass. Feeling much better now
