Lean Times

Recent evidence suggests that the fat-loss plan might be working.

Last night the Tanita told me I was 210.8 lbs. with 10.6% body fat. This is two weeks in, so I tend to give the results more credibility than I would last week's data. But if it's true, then I've lost 4.3 pounds of body fat and gained 2.1 pounds of muscle in two weeks. That'd be nice, but even I can't believe that two weeks of working out and cutting back slightly on carbs had that much effect.

There's a reason they tell you not to measure your body fat more than once a month. I couldn't stand the wait, but I completely buy that the results can only be reliably measured over several weeks and months.

Which is not to say that I'm doing the wrong thing. And this is the point: I may have ANW as a goal, but I'm trying to train so that whatever happens with the game show, I've got some health gains to show for it. So far so good, but it's really too early to tell.
