Weekly summary

Weight today: 168.8 and 38% bodyfat. You'll notice that's the same as yesterday, to which I said "nuh-UH not REALLY". My bodyfat percentage is up, which along with a heat is my indicator that this is at least somewhat dehydration, but I'm starting to question my rounding procedure. The scale has been pretty consistent lately, and it's irritating to see my calculated lean mass drop 2 pounds just because of a rounded percentage rise that isn't really a whole percent. Or last week, leveling out at 37 yet knowing I'd seen it go from 37.4 to 36.6 and just waiting to see a number I could round to 36. I think I'll start recording whatever the scale tells me, accurate, precise, or not. So today, I'm 37.9% fat.

Quick stats: average kcals/day 1766, 5 cardio, 3 strength workouts, 1 long walk, -3.2 lbs.

A note on exercise: "pull-up practice" is essentially identical to what I was calling "upper body strength workout" before. Basically, I go to the gym and do practice pull-ups and dips on the appropriate assist machine, sometimes some additional dumbbell presses as well. I made up a push-up practice workout as well, so I've been doing that at home other days.
