I wish I wish I wish I had gotten these taken right after I came back from Gahada! Ah well. Next vacation, I'm getting my stats right before and right after I go. And possibly also trying to make my life less hectic and more vacation-y year round, because that would probably make some sense as well.
Numbers! As before, I'm including the first, second, third and most recent stats.
Weight: 161/155/149/151. Meh.
BMI: 25.06/24.28/23.34/23.54. Meh.
Body Fat Percentage: 26.3/24.9/23.3/22.9. Woo-hoo! I know it's small, but it counts. Basically, I didn't gain any fat, just muscle.
Total Body Water: 59.7%/64.0%/68.5%/74.3%. Bonesetter Stew says this is awesome. Let's go with it.
Basal Metabolic Rate: 1540/1518/1492/1501 kcal. As to be expected.
Daily Energy Expenditure: 2002/2278/1940/2252 kcal. And I FINALLY got a decent explanation of what this means. It's basically a guess, based on the BMR and my activity level.
Waist-to-Hip Ratio: Waist=28 and hip=38 so it's 0.73. Not bad! Last time I measured (like two years ago) it was 31/41=0.76. Still aiming for a perfect 0.70.
I talked to Stew for a while after that about what sort of tweaks I can make to get to my goal (which right now is 21%). In the most basic terms, either I can lose fat or gain muscle, or (preferably) both. I'm heading to CFD for some craziness as soon as I publish this, so that plus aping it up is likely going to help a lot with the former method. As for the latter...I'm trying a couple things. I've been following a Tim-Ferriss-esque plan of being fairly strict on every day but Sunday, and then spiking calories and carbs in particular, but not going hog-wild. Stew's advice was to go hog wild. I'm not sure if this has a physiological reason or just psychologically makes you want to cheat less during the week. I tried it out yesterday and definitely do not feel like eating anything, let alone the pastries (and ice cream, and beer, and burrito, and duck frites, and sushi) I had yesterday. So I'm combining crazy cheat day with keto-ish IF for a while and seeing what happens after about 6 weeks.
In other news, I got my pull-up bar put together! But now I realise it's too big to go through the door into the room where I want it. Womp, womp.
