Vindi-FUCKING-cation!!!

Ok... so I know I'm paranoid and a total freak about statistics and weight and numbers and shit like that... which is why when somthing CHANGES and I don't know quite what's going on because I don't have the statistics that tell me one way or the other what is going on, I freak right the fuck out...

So lately I've been freaking right the fuck out.

By the records I could find the last time I had my bodyfat tested was in March... March 11th in fact... (I think there was another test round the end of April, but I can't find my printout from it, so I'm going to pretend it didn't happen) 4 (or even 3) months is TOOOOOOOO long for me to go without having this test done. Especially since I'm used to having it every 6 weeks or so.

So I found Dave Ryan Sr. (since Dave Ryan Jr. was being wholly unresponsive) and went to see him today. Here are the results:

On March 11th I weighted approximately 152 lbs, had 38.55 lbs of fat weight and 113.45 lbs of lean weight giving me a body fat percentage of 25.36%

Today I weighed approximately 156 lbs (by his scale), had 35.54 lbs of fat weight and 120.46 lbs of lean weight giving me a body fat percentage of 22.78%.

SO - in those 4 (or 3) months I've LOST 3.01 pounds of FAT, have GAINED 7.01 pounds of LEAN (muscle, glycogen, water, etc), and have dropped my bodyfat percentage by 2.58%

Just keep swimming, right?

So I'm bulking up a bit... no worries... I wanted to butch up, didn't I? (can you tell I'm smiling right now?)

I'm sure my 8's will fit again soon... I'm cyclic, I know it... up and down up and down... and right now, even tho the weight is up the fat is down and that's all I care about... AND... the little program estimated that if I get down to 142 lbs and maintain my current lean body mass (not to mention putting on more muscle) I'll be aproximately 15% body fat... DAYUM... makes the 140lb goal look a little silly now, don't it?

I'm gonna go skip.

see ya!

Huzzah! That totally makes sense... I didn't think the gain was all fat.
