Assessment #1

So how’d meeting #2 go with Val? Let’s see. Since March 19 (that’s 48 days), I have:

  • lowered my body fat percentage by 2.3%.
  • lost 5/8” off of each arm.
  • lost 1½” from my chest.
  • lost 2” from my waist.
  • lost 1½” from my hips.
  • lost 2” from my thighs.

Ok, so I technically gained a quarter of an inch on my calves, but it’s so obviously muscle development that Val instructed me to ignore it.

I was summarily informed that these results are somewhere between spectacular and insane.

I can work with that. Laughing out loud

"[T]hese results are somewhere between spectacular and insane." Uh, yes. :)

See, sometimes it's good that I don't know what's expected/normal (see also weightlifting) but sometimes it DOES help to know what's normal, so you know when you've actually done well.

I've been following your journal since I found it from Noah Grey. I have to say I'm inspired to no end at what you are accomplishing and it really makes me want to go out there and figure out a way to do it for myself. Because I need it too.... I just haven't been able to take that first step yet. I'm not sure why. Keep writing as its amazing to read. :)

I'd have to agree with Sprite! You have been an inspiration for me too. It's really neat to be able to follow you and track the successes of someone who's real!
