Week in Review 9/8/08
This week is a “flux week”. It’s was the end of our wedding/honeymoon, coming back to work, and settling in. I averaged 144.8 lbs. 11.1% fat 63.9% hydration. This is the leanest I’ve been according to the scale. Contrary to what I predicted I did not gain a single pound on vacation. After coming back to LA and getting back on my routine, I’ve reflected an overall drop in weight and fat compared to pre-vacation statistics.
I’ve achieved my goal of 10% body fat (according to the scale). I keep saying “according to the scale” because I’m under the firm belief that the scale overestimates body fat. Even though I’ve reached my targeted “paper” goals, I feel like I could keep going and achieve better definition on the abs. I might push a few more weeks before switching to a gain for the 300 Challenge. I’m going to officially cap my weight minimum at 140. I know it’s a psychological barrier to not dip under 140 lbs. but there’s no good reason for me to get any leaner. It’s all aesthetics from here (was it ever anything else?)
Unfortunately everything will have to wait. I’m mildly under the weather. Slight sore throat possibly progressing to a cough; likely a result of a depressed immune system when I drank too much Saturday night. I’m a little tired but could be a lot worse. I was able to get a quick 25 minute jog in at lunch to speed up my metabolism and hopefully cure myself of this cold. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
