Week 82
BF% pinch total is down about a half mm this week. The slow-but-sure progress continues. The BF pinch total is down between 4-5 mm since the beginning of the year, and down 50 mm — yes, that’s correct, 50 big ones — since I started lifting seriously in October ‘07. Couldn’t believe that number just now when I looked it up! Talk about small bits of progress adding up to a big change. There’s weeks when there is very little change in the pinch total, or worse yet it goes up a bit from the previous week and it can be discouraging. Gotta keep the big picture in sight.
And here I was mad that I have been somewhat bloated the last few days. The weight got down to 166.5 on Thursday and we went out to eat Thursday evening and I admit to having french fries and other stuff not good for you and Friday morning the weight was 170!! Had to have been mostly retained water because of the salt in the stuff I ate. Arrgh. Oh, well, in the next day or so I’ll suddenly be peeing like crazy and all that water will leave and I’ll be back to the current normal.
However, I want to keep at that lowering BF pinch total, so I’ll keep liftin’.

ha ha been there done that dozens of times! The infuriating thing is ,for oldies,you just look at the food(you know what I mean ) and you'’ll gain 3 lbs with no trouble and it takes forever to get rid of it. However I don’t view it as a setback and rather as my next challenge to get back and supercede myself.
Have a good week !
P.S remember the hare and the tortoise ?
