Tuesday measurement checks. 
 
So. Today is a little bit WTF.. I have been gaining weight, but my body fat has gone down another %. I checked, and re checked, and quad checked and then checked again after my shower for good measure.. 12.7% is the reading. I'm definitely closing in on the goal and am completely dumbfounded because I popped above 180 again today. I know I carb loaded this weekend somewhat on purpose to break the plateu I've been in. Trying to work back into a calorie deficit to knock off these last few fat lbs.

Even though I'm closer to an more leveled weight measurement but tracking once a week, a 2.4lb jump in 1 week in LBM is a little out there, so I'm not 100% setting it in the books yet.

I did a lot of work in the yard with tillers and post hole diggers and hauling 500-600 lb boulders around on a dolly, etc. (I am re-landscaping a lot of the front of the house)

Workouts have been good. Yesterday I didn't want to go ALL day and then I always have a blast while I'm in the groove. I'm definitely gaining momentum and muscle gains have been great.

Goal Re-statement: 2/2/2017
"On March 31, 2017, I maintain my ideal weight and health by measuring a 10-12% body fat and 32 inch waist. I do HIIT exercise a minimum of 3 days a week and focus on increasing muscle strength and general mobility. I eat in a simply structured manner with focus on lean meats, substantial vegetables, and minimally processed food. My ultimate goals are to lead a medically healthy (low cholesterol, good BP, etc.) lifestyle and consistently monitor those results to help in personal longevity and to be a good example."

Hey Tim, Carb/water & glycogen sitting in the muscles can easily give you that increase or more.. If you were post workout weigh in, you'd likely be down the gain plus one or two. Lean body mass (muscle) gains would be much smaller in that time period.

You're still trending in the right direction as long as body measurements agree :-)

You are steady and strong in the right direction! There can be so may reasons to see a small upward spike...its not a trend just a spike.
