After a weekend of throwing my diet out the window and indulging in some great food and delicious drinks, I'm gearing up for my first weigh-in since I've started my new routine. I already feel a major difference from a short month ago. I've seen great strength gains but they won't mean much when the scale comes into play. The numbers that I'll be tracking through my scale are as follows; weight, body fat percentage, bone density, hydration level and metabolic age.
I'm not overly concerned with my weight in particular. It will fluctuate especially since I have more than likely put on a few pounds of muscle mass. Over the next few months my goal was to drop roughly 20 pounds. More importantly, I'm looking to bring down my body fat percentage. This was the biggest goal I set for myself because I want to get it below 10 percent. My hydration level is usually very good along with my bone density. My metabolic age at one point was down to that of a 12 year old and I'm hoping that I can get back there.
As I always tell my clients, don't let the scale be the be all end all when it comes to measuring your progress. Regardless of the numbers I am proud of the fact that my streak is still alive and that I have been consistent with my diet.
I invite you to swing by my place anytime to step on the scale and check out your numbers. I'll let you know how the weigh-in goes tomorrow :)
