So today I went to the gym to hopefully have my body fat measured. First, I had to weigh myself, and I found out it was a high 189. Well, thats what all that snacking can do. Back on track now though. I got my body fat tested using the bioimpedence method and it said 13.6%. The trainer told me that the number was within 5%, which means the highest it could be is 18.6% which I'm really happy about. Maybe I have put on some muscle over the last few weeks.
