I am kind of excited today. I am quickly approaching the one year mark of starting this new lifestyle. I have my first checkup with the doctor scheduled for later this month. I am very curious to see my lab results. On top of that, today I am now 42 years old. I feel better than ever before. That is the best gift I could receive. Now on to the serious stuff….
173.4 lbs (down .6lbs) 107/65 Blood pressure 62 Pulse 109 Blood sugar
I am not going to post a body fat % today. Something is not right about my measurements because the results are a little low compared to what I see in the mirror. The good news is that I am on track with my macros right now. So far in August I have averaged 2855 calories. My target is 2800. I still lost a little weight but I am not going to make any changes right now since my measurements show that my waist has shrunk and I have gained mass in my thighs and hips which is from all the barbell squats I have been doing. I also showed an increase in my arm size which is also exciting.
I hope everyone has a great Friday. I’ll post my regular tip later today.

It's really great when you actually look forward to visiting the doc, isn't it? Like getting a gold star on your homework from the Teacher.

Happy Birthday! So the first 1/3 of *my 42 was spent making up for the winter including a 5 day trip to Atlantis where eating right wasn't doable most of the time, then the holidays, then NYE... then my birthday. But it seems like you have your eye on the prize and are going to undoubtedly have an amazing year. Keep up the great work!
