Monday Fat Stats

I kinda forgot (conveniently some might say), that Monday is of course fatness (as opposed to fitness) stats day.

So, here they are - with a quick comparison to last week's:

Weight: 11 stone 10 pounds (down 1 pound)
Body Fat Percentage: 20.4% (up 0.6%)
Visceral Fat Rating: 7 (same)
Basal Metabolic Rate: 7189kJ/1718 kcal (down a bit)
Muscle Mass: 8 stone 11 pounds 6 oz (down about 3 pounds - eh?!)
Body Water Percentage: 55% (down 0.5%)

Well, let's start with the positives. I've lost a pound, which doesn't seem like a lot, but is actually exactly the amount that my training bible suggests you aim at. I guess I'm aiming at being 11 stone or maybe a tiny bit less by the time of the Etape, and so I'm still on schedule for that.

Body fat percentage up a bit, but not a significant amount. Basal metabolic rate and muscle mass are a bit disappointing really. They should both be up after a good week of training, but I guess these are the ones that are probably most susceptible to measurement error, because the Tanita body compostion monitor I'm using is having to make a number of assupmptions to work these out. I almost believed that myself when I wrote it....hopefully it sounded convincing.
