I have started weighing myself in twice a week...This may seem kind of obsessive but I always weigh myself on Monday's because when I started the off-season diet I weighed in on the first Monday to get a good starting point. BUT, the problem is I always have a cheat meal on the weekend. So Monday is always a little skewed in a bad way because I haven't completely flushed my body of the junk I consumed on the cheat day. So, now I start weighing myself on Friday/Saturday BEFORE I cheat, so I can have a good idea of where I REALLY am on the scale.
So, yesterday was Andy and my Valentine's night. We cooked and drank wine. So I weighed myself in before I really ate anything, and had a couple beers in my system. I MIGHT have tricked my body only slightly because of the beer...because the scale said I was really hydrated (this commonly happens when I drink beer, I really don't know why). But basically, my stats looked like this:
Weight: 129.2 lbs
Body Fat: 19.1%
Water: 59.2%
Lean Body Mass: 99.2 lbs
Physique Rating: 9
BMR: 1409
Metabolic Age: 12
Visceral Fat: 1
This is the most successful weigh in I have ever had.
1. Because the lowest the metabolic age goes is 12. I can't get any better than that.
2. The physique rating of 9 means that you have lots of muscle and very little fat...which is an ATHLETE status. On my scale, this is hard to do if you have already told it that you are active.
3. The visceral fat is as low as it goes...I think. Can you have 0 for visceral fat ever? Maybe. I'll have to look into that. But basically I'm getting a ripped stomach finally so this is pretty awesome.
4. I am BELOW 20% body fat!!! This has been my goal for quite some time! I've been dying to see that number on my scale. I want to be about 17% before going on a pre-contest diet! I am starting to see that may be possible! YAY!
Of course I will weigh in on Monday and see what damage I did from the cheat night. At least I have today to flush my system some first and rehydrate and see if I can make it better for tomorrow. I'll get a good workout in tomorrow morning too. Even so, last Monday after cheating for super bowl, the scale said 20.8%, so hopefully I still have a chance of getting some decent numbers.
