Had my body comp analysis appointment today and it was better news than I thought it would be. 24.4% fat. I was expecting 27-30 based on how I feel and look. This is 3% less than what Kaiser considers excellent for my age group. What this tells me is what I really knew all along. That I have a lot of muscle and the number on the scale is always going to be high for my height. I still want to drop 10 - 15# slowly in an attempt to get rid of the dangerous visceral fat I know must be hiding in my gut. I'd like to take 120# out for a spin and see how it feels, especially going uphill.

Anyway, I'm glad I went in and got tested. This is my baseline. I'm going to do it again in 6 months and hope to see an improvement.

The cold I thought never really developed into a full-fledged cold came back overnight. I guess I shouldn't have ridden yesterday. I didn't ride today. So disappointing. The weather was beautiful here and I was home all day.

I hope everyone had a good eating day. And if not, tomorrow's a new day. Keep at it.
