Our 5 year old scale finally kicked the bucket, so we decided to invest in a new-fangled scale that gives more information than my last doctors visit. One of the main reasons we wanted it was because it gives a body fat reading.
Hoo-ha! I stepped on it and found that I’m not really full of crap as I’ve been told, nor am I full of ‘everything nice’ like my mommy told me, but rather, I’m full of fat. 46%, to be exact. I tried again and it said 48%. I am a little floored that almost half of my physical composition is fat. It’s like the O in my h2O. Well no, it’s more like the cl in my NaCl. But enough for the nerdy attempts at an analogy. I’m almost half fat for Pete’s sake.
The scale came with a users manual type dealio that shows body fat percentages, and what’s considered underweight, normal, overweight and obese. I’m off the charts, yo. I am really not feeling this.
I have two choices. I can feel sorry for myself and whine about how it’s unfair and on and on, or I can use it as motivation. Lets see what I can do to get it to 45%. When it starts falling, because it will, I’ll challenge myself to crack 40. Then into the 30s. 35, 30 and then into the 20s. Keep pushing, mala. Lets have at it.
