Diet Progress
According to my scale, I have entered uncharted territory: 166.6 pounds, and 16% bodyfat. The bodyfat figure is the lowest figure I have recorded yet since I started recording it a year and a half ago or so, and the weight number is the lowest since I can remember — certainly the lowest number since my 20s, nearly 20 years ago — possibly even more.
My waist measured 35.75, possibly a bit lower (it seems to be impossible to hold the tape measure completely still, or at one measurement), but I’ll call it 35.75.
So, I’m on track to get down under 165 by June 26, and I’ve already reached my BF goal (although that figure fluctuates wildly because of scale error). Still three quarters of an inch from getting my waist where I want it. Still, great progress over mid-Spring, when my weight was regularly in the mid-170s, my BF was up around 19%, and my waist was well over 37 inches. It is getting to the point that I should begin to see the positive effect of weight loss on my race times.
