Day 8

Got the camera! Took a picture. But I'm on a lab computer, not my home computer, so I'll post it later. It's a decent "before" shot and will allow me to benchmark progress.

I've also found that the rec's body fat measurement is done using electrical impedance - a decidedly unreliable way to measure body fat. So I could pay $3 for an unreliable test or I could pay $20 for my own set of calipers for measuring body fat. I will probably do that, as well as get a $7 myotape measuring device for taking waist, arm, and leg measurements on a monthly basis.

In other news, my weight has gone up a slight amount. No idea why, and I'm not too concerned. If it continues to accelerate upwards, I might be concerned, but for now it's no big deal.

Cheers.
