Body Fat

6/13/2013

I was a three sport athlete in college, swimming, gymnastics and track and field (discuss, javelin, hurdles and relays). I was in tip top shape. When I left college I was 5'9" and 135 pounds of solid muscle. I will try to come up with some pictures to share at a later date. The work out that I had with Courtney Raney  yesterday was the hardest one I can ever remember. I was whimpering and my body was shaking. Thanks coach!! If you ever need a person trainer she is great!  She pushes you but not to do more than you can do. Plus she is always concerned, caring and encouraging! It certainly was a blessing when she popped into my life!
I have been at this lifestyle change for a little over 9 months and certainly see changes, and so do others. I do  feel much better.  I have lost over 30 pounds but have been a little disappointed at not losing more. I know that I have been losing inches .  I gave away 8 pairs of shorts, went to the shorts that were too small for me and had to have them taken in, some of them 6 inches or more. Now I hope that there will be a summer so I can wear them. lol
When I was at the Mayo Clinic for a routine check up a few years ago I was aghast when I was told that I was over 50% fat!! I don't remember exactly if it was 52%, 56% but it was over 50%. Really? Wow!! Several months ago  I went to Max Muscle to have them check the % of fat that I had in/on my body. I was really hoping to be below 50%. I was pleased to find that I was at 32%. Yesterday I went again and was euphoric to discover that I was 26.8% which is excellent for my age!!! Yeah!! That means I have lost around 30% of the fat that I had to drag around with me all the time. I guess what I am doing is releasing the fat and replacing it with muscle.
Come work out with me sometime.

You've roused my inner math geek. If your weight stayed the same and you went from 52% fat to 26% fat, you lost **HALF** the fat you were carrying around, not 30% of the fat. If you also lost weight, you did even better than that. CONGRATULATIONS!
