I went in today to have my body composition done. Six months ago I was at 19.5%. Today I measured up at 12.3% (!) I was totally blown away by that! I've gained a few pounds of muscle too! I've been feeling so frustrated these last weeks, like I haven't been getting anywhere, and then I found out what the numbers are. Whoo hoo! I was guessing that I was about 15%. The goal now for the summer is to put on as much muscle as possible before competition in November. The good news is that my lean out diet won't be to lengthy because I'm already quite low. Whoo hoo! Not bad for someone who used to be fat!
