Second Body Comp test

So 8 weeks have passed and it was time for the second body composition test. I wasn't following the food plan to the dot because of the nature of my quite physically demanding work. All weeks except the last I was training 3-4 times per week and mostly following the plan. I guess having birthday yesterday didn't really make the results of that body scan better but that doesn't matter too much.

About 5 weeks into training program I was able to fit back into my size smaller clothes and even a dress I had bought and thought of selling due to being too small. Very lovely to have it comfortably on right now.

Well, the numbers from that test were not that amazing. To be honest I was actually surprised how little they had changed according to that scanner there.

Body Weight 84.1 -> 80.8 = -3.3kg
Skeletal Muscle Mass 30 -> 28.9 = -1.1kg
Body Fat % 36.5 -> 36.2 = -0.3%

The printer had broken down so we didn't get the report with other numbers yet. Well, not that impressive really for doing all that exercise and mainly following the food plan - a few years ago I had better results with running and calorie counting I think :) But I do feel stronger and fitter which is the main thing, not doing it for numbers anyway.

Also found the measurements from August last year, after I did some exercise on my own and then had that trip to NZ and Christmas. In Feb started F45. Those numbers look a bit better :)

Chest: 113 -> 107 = -6cm
Waist at the thinnest point: 95 -> 85 = -10 cm
Waist at navel level: 107 -> 100 = -7cm
Hips: 115 -> 110 = -5 cm
