My Tanita

Now the heavy lifting begins. All in all it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Honestly though, I always think it's going to be really bad. In my mind I was suppose to be happy if I was under 180 lbs. and 15% body fat. After 6 weeks of drinking 5 gallons of my first handcrafted ale, Hail Mary Ale, I'm thinking I should try to figure out how to brew 'lite' beer. I came in 3 lbs. heavier and almost 3% higher then in September during my last macrocycle. My trusty Tanita told the story...

177.4 lbs.
11.3% body fat

I've got high school buddies that would trade me that in a heart beat. For me, I've got to get lighter and leaner. The bright side is today is only December 1st. From now on, my training comes in 4 week cycles. I visit Ms. Tanita at the end of every cycle. The goal for next weigh-in is <176 lbs. and <11.0% body fat. The hard part will be figuring out how to drink the same amount of beer and eat less.
