Among all of that excitement, I guess November will also mark the beginning of a, hopefully, permanent transformation on my part. If you didn't read yesterday's blog or watch the video on YouTube, check those out to get caught up.
So here is where I am starting on day 1. I got weight and body fat from the InBody scan machine at my gym.. I think it's pretty accurate.. Not sure what the margin of error is, but I think as long as I use the same machine for all measurements, it will be a good indicator or what my progress is.
I took waist, hip, and thigh measurements at home with my own tape measure.
Weight: 160.7#
Body fat: 24%
Waist (at narrowest point): 30"
Waist (at belly button): 34"
Hips: 40.5"
Thigh (at midpoint): 22.5"
Definitely near my record high, but not at it. In January, before I started my fitness competition prep, I was 165, and measurements were nearly the same. I didn't take my body fat back then, but I KNOW it had to be higher than what it is now. I also did the body scan about a month ago, and at the time, I was 155# and 23.8%BF. Sharing both of those reports below, but in case you don't feel like scouring them for details, I gained 5lbs. Muscle mass went up by 2lbs, fat went up by 2lbs, so not terrible, not awesome.
Today, I did lower body strength at the gym, and you can find the YouTube video of that workout <<<there! I won't be posting every single workout, but it's day 1, I think it's a good one to see because I'm probably going to be gassed! Maybe I'll post one per week, and hopefully, along with my physical appearance making progress, you will be able to see my conditioning improving as well!
Anyway, that's it for now. Before pictures below!
