Though I'm sure self-retrospective thought is more appealing to an audience, rather than pure data, some of the blog's purpose is to record my own history. And, without data, self-reflection is difficult. Thus. . .
N: 17.25
B: 16.00
C: 48.00
US: 48.75
LS: 44.50
T: 24.50
H: 46.00
Wrist: 7.50
forearm: 12.75
body fat caliper data:
P: 25, 25, 21, 30, 20; kept: 25, 25, and 21
S: 63, 56, 54, 59, 62; kept: 56, 59, and 62
T: 16, 15, 12, 12, 12; kept: 15, 12, and 12.
Result: 28.31%
Incidentally, the test which measures using weight, waist size, forearm and wrist calculations came up with 38% (105 ponds of fat available for loss). Huh. I'm still in a better spirit than I thought I'd be. I **do** know my eating habits over the past few weeks (particularly last week) have been less than ideal. I need to work on that. I think I'd like to repurchase and reuse the fitday software. See, http://www.fitday.com/ (somehow I think it may have been nutrifit before. . . but. . . not sure).
time to go ride 15 miles and go do girlfriend duty.

DATA: Measurements
Here are the measurements for the week:
P: 26, 19, 23, 26, and 25; remaining: 23, 26, and 25.
S: 61, 61, 60, 59, and 60; remaining: 61, 60, and 60.
T: 17, 20, 17, 17, and 18: remaining: 17, 17, and 18.
body measurements:
N: 17.00
B: 16.00
C: 48.00
US: 47.50
LS: 44.25
T: 25.25
H: 45.50
Wrist: 7.25
Forearm: 12.75
According to the caliper measurements, I have 29.89% body fat; according to dr. hamilton, i have a 29.13% body fat. either way, I need to lose about 60-100 pounds.
ROWING
On a brighter note, I had a really strong 6000 meter row last night. It turns out it was NOT a personal best, just a second personal best. My best time for a 6k was on 06.06.05 at 24:09.9; last night it was 25:30.3 -- the two times are a world apart.
Second -- I also learned that my rowin machine has 3104 kilometers on it (i bought it used with 199 kilometers on it). Therefore, I've rowed 2950 kilometers or 2.95 million meters. I purchased the rowing machine in march 2005. 38 months later I have 2.95 million meters, which is an average of ~18,000 meters per week rowed. (roughly 90 minutes of rowing exercise per week on average). Importantly, it's an all weather tool -- no matter whether it is hot, cold, or raining outside, i can always row. I spent $600 bucks on it (roughly) 3 years ago and I've consistently used it. I would highly recommend it.
Moreover, the concept2.com website is really excellent. It lets you look at other rowers' times and see where you measure up challenge wise.
Finally -- I did finally clean up the blog as best I could. I removed the dead links. I do hope to add more links. I suppose I'll need to look through the links I have and then go back and do some searches for some other cool stuff I find.
