Ye gods: three months done

Good progress too:

• weight: 96.4 (98.8) kg
• BMI: 28.2 (28.9)
• body fat: 27.6 (29.0) %
• muscle: 32.7 (32.0) %
• visceral fat: 12 (13) %

So my new lifestyle has so far made quite a difference:

• weight LOST: 6.2 kg
• BMI DROPPED: 1.8
• body fat DOWN: 3.5 %
• muscle mass UP: 1.9 %
• visceral fat DOWN: 2 %

 Plus I feel better; more alive and capable.

If I could just crack the knack of meditating ...

Two months done

But what a fortnight...  At my last report I was on the dregs of a chest infection.  For this one I'm at the painful coughing stage of a cold.  In between, my employer was pushed out of business by a US software patent: we have plenty of prior art, but not the $750,000 (minimum) needed to prove it.  So instead of lawyers getting rich that's 6 of us on the dole.  Hi ho ...

Anyway, here's the numbers from the morning of the 1st June.

• weight: 99kg (100.2kg)
• BMI: 28.9 (29.3)
• body fat: 31.0 (28.9) %
• muscle: 30.8 (32.0) %
• visceral fat: 13 (13) %

Given the cold, I'm probably dehydrated, so those figures may be rubbish.  (I clean forgot to record blood pressure).

Six weeks in

Not a good fortnight, as the numbers show:

• weight: 100.2kg (no change)
• BMI: 29.3 (no change)
• body fat: 28.9 (30.6) %
• muscle: 32.0 (31.0) %
• visceral fat: 13% (no change)
• blood pressure: 125/80 @ 66 (122/83 @ 68)

Disappointing though the weight figure is, the raw number hides an interesting fact.  1.7% fat mass <=> 1% muscle mass.  Thus I'm still heading in the right direction; albeit rather slowly.

Third metrics: one month done!

One calendar month on, how am I doing?

• weight: 100.2 (101.4) kg
• BMI: 29.3 (29.6)
• body fat: 30.6 (30.6) %
• muscle: 31.0 (31.1) %
• visceral fat: 13 (14) %
• blood pressure: 122/83 @ 68

Given that my exercise schedule has gone to pot since my last post thanks to a chest infection, those numbers aren't too bad at all.

Second Metrics

A fortnight since I started this.  Let's see how I'm doing (initial figures in parentheses):

• weight: 101.4 (102.6) kg
• BMI: 29.6 (30.0)
• Body fat: 30.6 (31.1) %
• Muscle: 31.1 (30.8) %
• Visceral fat: 14 (14) %

Dropping 1.2kg while swapping 0.5% of fat for an extra 0.3% of muscle is good progress, in my opinion.

First Metrics

First thing this morning, in just my undies but after using the loo, my metrics were as follows:

• weight: 102.6kg
• BMI: 30.0
• Body fat: 31.1%
• Muscle: 30.8%
• Visceral fat: 14%

These measurements are from  my Omron BF511 body composition monitor.

Quite a bit of work to do...
