Body Fat Link that is very useful (original) (raw)

My goal is 20% body fat. The high end of athletes. Getting solidly into athlete territory would rule, but baby steps. Per the tests at the health fair I'm at 40%. Way the heck out of shape. But I knew this. So it gives me a goal.

I'm a 183.5 # woman with 40% body fat: 183.5 * 0.4 = 73.4 # of fat

183.5 # - 73.4 # of fat = 110.1 # of lean body mass (in there somewhere)

To get to 20% body fat.

183.5 # * 0.2 = 36.7 # of body fat.

Therefore my goal weight should be 110.4 + 36.7 =147.1

So I need to lose 183.5 - 147.1 = 36.4

Doable. A baby step on getting me back into shape.

The three lbs I lost when I cut my hair have stayed off. I've started an exercise and food diary (field notebooks come in handy). I've added 3 meals to the rotation that have over 10g of fiber. I'm not eating them nearly enough, but I'll work on that some on Monday.

The fight practices I attended ruled and have inspired me to get to this more seriously. I practice I stand a chance of developing a fighting style. I develop a fighting style and I stand a chance of winning a fight or 3 at Crown.

That is my current goal, to make it to 5 fights in Crown. When I challenge in I tend to challenge one of the highest ranking guys I can, last time it was Duke Ragnarr. So I lose one automatically, but nothing ventured nothing gained.
