Week 55
I will never figure out this BF% stuff… Hit my new all-time low weight of 168 today. I think I am looking pretty decent in the mirror… my adonis belt is becoming more visible all the time, and tonight it is probably the most visible it has ever been, ever. But the BF% pinches were up another mm from last week, which makes it up 2mm over the last two weeks, and pushes me into the next % value on the chart. Huh? I guess what you can see in the mirror is all that counts, but sometimes that can be skewed by what we want to see, rather than what is really there. Measurements like weight and BF% give us quantitative data to prove or disprove our alleged progress, and my data doesn’t seem to be matching what I am seeing.
In clothing news, I had some of my pants taken in this week, and I was finally able to order that dress shirt in the athletic cut that I was looking for, so I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of that… can’t wait to wear that to work.
And speaking of work, I was lamenting missing having my official employee pic taken as I had to be at another work site the day the pix were taken and a coworker said, "Oh they can use last year’s," to which I responded, "Sure, but I have new glasses and am 20 lbs lighter than last year." Her response? "You’re 20 lbs lighter than last year?!?" Uh, thanks, I guess it really shows…
So, I’ll keep liftin’.
