It feels like progress . . .
even if the numbers don’t look that way. I feel like I’ve gained some muscle and lost a bit of the layer of fat around my abdomen and chest, but the scale doesn’t show it, and my lifting hasn’t shown much progress yet. I went to the gym this morning and did barbell bench press, barbell squat, stiff leg deadlift with dumbbells, biceps curls, and french curl, along with a few other exercises and some brief mild cardio time. The slow gain in the lifting in part reflects my caution in avoiding overdoing it — I really don’t want to hurt my back or my Achilles tendon and get set back, so I’m taking it a little slowly. My body feels like progress is being made, so I will remain optimistic. I continue to have serious doubts about the scale’s ability to measure bodyfat percentage accurately.

Going by your progress pictures is the best way to judge improvement…they’re key. The scale is only a secondary tool.
Nice work.
