I had my measurements taken this morning and was pleasantly surprised they weren’t worse! I know I’m retaining a lot of water so my pictures were a little stressful. I decided to take last weekend completely off from my workouts and strict eating. Saturday night was filled with cookies! haha… But I’m back now and ready to start leaning down. Here are my measurements going in to the lean phase:

Measurement Results (and differences since last week):

EI Body fat %: 20% (-.7%)

DC Body fat %: 20.2% (same)

Again, not the best measurements, but I’ll take ‘em! I guess I have to share photo evidence.

I’m looking forward to progress next time….
