It's Been a Long Time

Far too long in fact.

While I haven't been posting, I have been working out.

In fact, I started working with a personal trainer.  It hasn't gone quite as I had expected.  The low carb protein diet, has been near impossible to meet, even with protein shakes.  And I've gained weight (may be do to some other things going on, but still!).  It's also been tiring!  Trying to keep up with it, kickboxing, and running is hard.  I can't blame it all on training, this California summer is killing my runs cause everyone knows the treadmill suck!

Today we did a body analysis (post workout) and as I have done before, here are the numbers:

Age:  31

Height:  5'8"

Weight: 215.4 lbs

Bone Density: 6%

Muscle weight: 114 lbs

Fat Percentage: 40.3%

Yep! That's reality folks.  

So here are the goals:

Age:  stop time

Height: good

Weight: below 200 and eventually at ~160 for a healthy BMI

Bone Density: Good!

Muscle weight: 120, an pretty big increase of 6 metabolism driving lbs

Fat: 25%, a huge jump!

So there we are.  

Stay tuned.

I'm not crazy

Ok,
So as part of this new food plan with MyFitnessPal, I needed to measure my neck, waist, and hips.  So I also measured my body in the same spots I did a year ago and the results are, well, what they are.

So on the left is a year ago, and on the right this morning.
Biggest difference, my high waist.  It went from 36" to 43".  Thats an addition of 7 inches!

Can I get a WTF?

I know that my muscles along my rib cage are stronger, but this is going the wrong way.  My stomach is smaller, but I feel like my body which was curvy and lumpy is now going square or pear shape and lumpy.  Not the way I want it to be.  And what is with an extra 2" on my thighs.
Not cool.

But here is hoping that diet is the answer though it may take a genie or guru to find it.  boo!
