My weight went down to 191.6 lbs, and using my old methods (old normal scale and Omron Body Fat Monitor) to get my body fat percentage, which is 27.2%. I am recording my weight with my old method, because I used it from the beginning of this weight loss journey. But I am using my new measuring methods too (adding up the readings from my new body fat scale and the Omron monitor reading, then dividing it by two), which shows me that my body fat is: 30.7%. Regarding to the new scale my weight is 192 lbs, my bf: 34.2%; water: 41.9%; muscle: 38.9%, bones: 7.4%. So obviously there are some changes and I am happy.

Trying new methods and/or freshened up my old ones with eating too. Sometimes I need to introduce new type of diet tricks to my body to have a real push on my metabolism. Same with the exercises, doing random type and length of Crossfit workouts, help me to not settle for the same daily exercise routines.

Yesterday and today I am doing an intermittent fasting, which I do often, but at these times I am drinking bulletproof coffee, which is really a very nice coffee. I add grass fed butter and coconut oil to my coffee and some stevia and mix all these ingredients with a blender. I love coffee, most of the time I am able to manage to drink coffee in the mornings and start to eat food in the afternoon. But usually I have normal coffee. I am not scared of eating more - healthy - fat and love the taste of this wonderful coffee creation. It is good to have it in my life and gives me so much energy and I do not feel hungry at all with my normal activities. I plan to have days like these a couple of times weekly.

For my crazy workouts of course I need to eat more, yesterday I have made a huge mistake, I did not eat enough before my work out (it was at 7 pm in the evening), because I was not hungry. I have had two bulletproof coffees, and a pita bread and a light mozzarella cheese. We have had a really gruesome workout, which consisted of 3 rounds for time of 25 double unders, 25 thrusters (30 kg - same for both sexes), 25 push ups, 25 box jumps, 25 burpees, 25 Sumo Deadlift High-pulls (30 kg - same for both sexes). Luckily we have had a 30 minutes time cap, which saved me, but of course I could not finish all the three rounds and I knew that for next time I should eat more to be able to fight through a workout like this. For sure we do make mistakes to get to the right direction, we need to learn from them. Today I will make sure I eat around 2-2:30 pm, because I will have my workout at 5 pm. I do not want to repeat the same mistake.

I got a body fat scale over the weekend. It gives me a much higher reading then my hand-held Omron body fat monitor, and both work with the BIA methods. Well, I will keep recording these readings too. I will add up the results, then divide them with 2.

At this case the Omron body fat monitor showed me 27.7% body fat at 193.6 lbs.
The body fat scale showed me 34,5% body fat, 41,5% water, 7,3% bone and 38,6% muscle at 193.6 lbs.

The average body fat reading from these two device is: 31,1%.

I weighed in today, although I promised to myself I am going to weigh in only once a week. My weight did not change, it is the same as yesterday (1093.8 lbs). I have checked my body fat percentage (with the same OMRON handheld body fat monitor, first thing in the morning, without eating or drinking as usual), 27.4% popped up on the monitor, which is a little bit less compared to the result of yesterday. My result is within the acceptable range for women, but my BMI shows that I am over weight (27.8). BMI does not bother me at all, I always have had high readings, even with much lower body fat percentage. I read that it is common for those who perform a lot of strength training, because they are very muscular. I do perform a lot of strength training 4 to 5 times per week years ago, and most of the time I use the RX weights, which are really heavy and I have a higher lean mass, because I am training a lot and training hard to fall into that camp. To be honest, I am always puzzled by measuring body fat percentage, I guess there is no perfect method for a 100% accuracy; autopsy would be only 100% accurate. Before, I tried to measure my body fat with calliper, but I could not get the measurements without help, so I gave up on this method.

Tomorrow I will get a body fat scale, although the scale and the handheld monitor use the same Bioelectrical Impedance measuring method. Body fat scale measure the lower half of the body and my Omron handheld body fat monitor measures the top half of the body. The margin of error could be between 1-4%, the results are affected by hydration, food intake and skin temperature. If the person dehydrated, the body fat percentage will read higher than it is. Maybe it would be a good idea to drink a glass of water before my readings. So I am thinking about to get readings from both devices, then to add up the two (maybe different) readings and divide their total with two, to get a closer body fat percentage number. Cannot wait to figure out if it will help or not to get a more accurate number.

Yesterday I had a great, but quite heavy workout. We had to follow a changing rep scheme workout with reps of 21-15-9-15-21 and doing thrusters and sumo dead lift high pulls for time. For women the RX weight was 30kg, for men it was 45kg. I used the RX weight, and finished the whole thing in 21:18 mins. It was a real nightmare from the middle, it felt almost hopeless to get back to the high reps again. Some women did not finish the workout, they quit at the middle. After the main workout I stayed for some olympic weight lifting practise, I tried to improve my overhead squats and squat snatches, but I was really tired. I managed to go up to 40kg with the overhead squats, and to 35kg with the squat snatches. I need to pay more attention to my technique, still plenty of room to improve.
