Day 116: Size 32????? Sort of... And 13th Weigh-In

Yesterday I tried on some 32 gap jeans that were given to me by my brother from another mother, Christian Witkin. They fit!!!!! That is pretty amazing, as I was barely able to fit in my size 38 jeans not too long ago (May 07'). They are cut fairly generously, and still a bit tight, but I'm starting to really see the finish line in sight (8% bodyfat)!






I did my 13th weigh-in today, I'm at 168.5 and 13% bodyfat. Subjectively I feel a bit weaker, but I did finish "Nasty Girls" yesterday, which I have never been able to do before, so my performance is still clearly increasing. I was able to do the second set of HPC unbroken as well which was cool.

I'm quite happy with this rate of fat loss (2.5 lbs in a week, with only .5 lbs of muscle lost), however I don't think it is sustainable, and I don't want to lose muscle, so I'm going to go up to 17 blocks, no added fat, for the next two weeks. I'm at a new low weight, post 1996.


7AM 1 cup 2% milk = 1 block


Noon Trader Joe's Flatbread Pizza, 1.5 cup broccoli, 2 oz chicken = 5 blocks +1x fat


5PM 1 egg, 2 egg beaters, 4 cups vegetables, 1 teaspoon olive oil = 3 blocks


9PM Trader Joe's Tri-Tip wrap with 1/2 bread removed, 1 oz turkey jerky = 4 blocks


Builder Bar, 1 tablespoon sunflower butter = 3 blocks +1x fat


Block Target = 17 blocks


Total Blocks = 16 blocks +.5x fat
