well.. Tomorrow marks 2 years exactly since that first day i walked into my gym.. I decided to mark the occasion with a body fat test. I try to get a DEXA scan every 6-9 months, as it is a great way to gauge your progress and know for sure where you are instead of guessing. I guess im a bit nervous, as im not at my goal weight, but I also acknowledge that im a different person, with a much different body than that guy 2 years ago. I have gained muscle, and lost fat in spite of 1 full year that I was in a hotel for 3/4 of the time and eating in restaurants for every meal. While I am not at my goal yet, I am blessed beyond measure because I am getting strong, have so much more energy, less chronic pain, and happen to have a scalding hot, amazing and kind wife. This is a milestone, just another marker on a journey that will last a lifetime. That is why i am not very worried about the exact numbers. If I have a thousand mile journey, I will not fret if the time for one mile is not perfect..
BTW. the DEXA scan is from Baptist hospital. its only $50 for first, and $25 for each additional. its X-ray based, so you can only do it twice a year, but it gives you bone density, Lean Mass and fat statistics.. (VERY detailed report)
