Latest DEXA Scan: Mixed Results and New Direction

Earlier this week, two days before Thanksfeast Day, Stacia and I went back to the Washington Institute of Sports Medicine to get another DEXA body composition scan.  It was our second experience there and like the first time, I felt like my results were less than optimal.

Two years ago at my first DEXA scan, I was 50 years old, weighed in at 167.4 lbs and had a total body fat of 16.7%.  Despite the statistics showing I was in the top 1% of body comp for guys my age (and top 8% of 25 year old guys), I was disappointed.  After all, my previous most recent body comp test showed me at about 5.4% body fat - but that was in a Bod Pod and not nearly as accurate as a DEXA scan.

After our first DEXA scan, Stacia and I planned to go back for regular scans every 6 months or so.  That didn't happen

I Just Had To Cheat ...

Cheating Myself?:  I Just Had to Cheat on my Clean Eating Live-It

For my first year or two of eating clean, I never really even liked to take a cheat day - or day off from clean eating.  Often when I did, I would feel ill because my body no longer processes crappy food the way it did when I ate that way all the time.  My body is now used to good food - the right fuel to power my Tesla of a body.  (I would have said Ferrari, but I'm Getting A Tesla).

No Whey! Working Out with No Protein Powder?

No Whey Protein Powder in June

For the entire month of June, I did not make or consume any whey protein shakes.  That may not seem like a big deal to most, but for someone who works out daily and is always wanting to cut bodyfat and build muscle, it is HUGE.  Especially considering the fact that often when I am drinking protein shakes, I'll have 3 to 5 a day.  I can easily go through a tub of whey protein powder in less than 3 days - about three a week.

In fact, on July 1st I rushed right out and got a bucket of the whey protein that I (used to) like best - and a

Gym Etiquette:  Unwritten Rules of the Gym

Since I have started to write the pilot for The Health Club, I have been having a lot of fun with character development.  That smelly guy will definitely have a part, the only problem is that nobody can get close enough to him to have any real dialogue.
