I got looking at my stats progress and came to the conclusion that I really have put on some muscle weight.  Around March 8th is when I first hit 175 lbs and I was at 15% BF.  That works out to 148.75 lbs lean weight.  I have stayed around 174-175 lbs ever since, but the BF% has been ever-so-slowly dropping.  Tonight it was at the 11.6% point I first hit two weeks ago, which works out to a lean weight of 154.7 lbs.  That means I have added 5.95, or nearly six pounds of muscle, just since March.  Figuring from my starting point of 191 pounds and 23% BF, that was a lean weight of 146.3, so my total muscle gain since October is 8.4 pounds!  Am I psyched!  I started out carrying nearly 44 lbs of fat, and now it’s down to 20.3 lbs, for a total fat loss of 23.6 lbs so far! 

Here I have been obsessing over the recent weight plateau, when it really isn’t a plateau at all.  This is cool news, and it has been sitting right here in front of me all along, I just wasn’t interpreting the information correctly!  I have to keep telling myself to look at all the numbers, I know that weight alone isn’t the final answer.

So, to keep the good results coming, I’ll keep lifting!
