Things have not been going right for me lately. Mr. A was snatched by who I thought was a friend. Work hasn't been going as planned. Things just have not really been on my side until this morning when I got a body composition done at the gym.
I try to get a body composition done every 4 months so I know where my body is at. It is a good sanity check for me. The last time I got it done was in November of last year. So, it's been about 6 months. I was nervous going into the "examination" room, but thought to myself what the heck. I've been doing pretty good in terms of exercising and dieting. So, I should be ok. But you just never know...
So the results are in...
Since November 2008, I lost about 1lb of fat and gained about 6lbs of lean body mass. That's equal to gaining about 5lbs. So, I'm standing at 135lbs with 6.4% body fat. My Body Mass Index (BMI) is 22.6 and Waist to Hip Ratio is 0.80. My waist, hip, and butt got bigger-- about an inch!! Woo hoo! :-)
I know you guys probably think I'm obsessed with these numbers. Actually, I kind of am :-P They make me feel good. They make me feel like I've accomplished something. They make me feel like if I work hard for it, I will then see the results. Don't you hate it when you work hard for something, but then things just start to fall apart and don't turn the way you expect them to? I've been in that situation and I hate it. But today, the body comp results really made me smile. In the next couple of months, I will try to get it down to 6%. I think that will be the lowest I will go.
They say the average body fat for men my age is 19%. So, those that have ditched me for some whimpy guys, you can just kiss my (bigger) butt!

I start by saying I AM SOOOOOOO JEALOUSLY happy for you. There...I said it. Two emotions, one comment.
ReplyDeleteI think its fantabulous that you are so darn healthy. For me, it was 1995 when I could say the same thing. Now, I have more fat tucked in places I didnt know could every carry fat that I dont get the compositions done anymore.
So bask in your excitement. With your dedication and determination I know you will always remain as healthy as possible. You are the type that haters rant about. No worries, I will never hate on you in a bad way, just in a jealous of you but happy for you kinda way! :)
Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for the sweet comment. You have nothing to worry about. You have the cutest body!! You don't want to get too lean like me or you won't be able to have a baby! ;-)
