Rant & Rave, but in the end set a goal
So for the last 5 years I’ve gained & dropped the same 10lbs scale weight. I know now that scale weight is different than body fat… In the last few months I’ve been monitoring my bf% along with measurements & scale weight. I seem to lose 1-3 lbs off the scale, then with a night or 2 I can easily gain it back… so I’ve been consistently staying around 149, with occasional drop down to 146 or increase 150.
However, my bf% has been dropping & my measurements seem to be slowly giving way (sometimes seems like its snail pace).
Is my body efficient, in a way, at replacing fat with muscle & therefore my scale just doesn’t reflect much? I don’t think this entirely true cause I’d be ripped by now…
Keep in mind that my jeans are fitting the same though… well not as tight these days.
My rant is I’m frustrated that I’m not shrinking much… I’d like to get to fit into single digit jean sizes. Makes me wonder if I should kick up the cardio more & perhaps keep the same lifting schedule or even drop it down…
Acknowledging the progress I have made though… I do see it in my progress photos. However, I get fixated on that scale & those smaller sizes of jeans.
My new short term goal:
Drop from 149lbs to 139lb (-10 lbs)
Drop down a size or two in jeans
Uncover my muscle from the body fat
All by 9/11 (7weeks from now)
 Suggestions, opinions, rants as always welcome
Thanks for listening!
