Week 20.  A better week than last!  My back has gotten nearly back to normal so it doesn’t hurt to move certain ways, or get stiff if I sit or stand too long, and have no problems doing any of the lifting that I do.

Figured out my sudden weight gain last week… Ibuprofen causes water retention.  Look it up on the Internet.  I was taking prescription strength Ibuprofen for my back pain, and the weight gain coincided with when I started the IB.  I stopped taking it last weekend when my back was getting better and my weight got back to where it was before my back went out… and I peed a lot for a day or two.  Gotta remember that.

So, my weight made it back down to 175 later in the week, which is my latest low.  Also took my weekly BF% pinch tonight and it’s down another 5 mm, so that’s another % or so… awesome.  I am now in the 15% range.  Ultimately I would like to get to around 10%.  I am not looking to do any kind of bodybuilding competing or anything like that so I can’t see going below 10%.  We’ll see.  To be 10% by summer would be great.  The way things have been going so far, I just might make it.
