Results are in!

Well I went and had the BF test.  How did I do?  Simply put - not as good as I was last year.

2015 results:
172lbs body weight.  130.3lbs (75.5%) lean body mass.  41.7lbs of FAT.  24.3% Body Fat

2016 results:
171.9lbs body weight.  127.5lbs (74.2%) lean body mass.  44.4lbs of FAT.  25.8% Body Fat

I would be lying if I didn't say I was a little disappointed.  But, hey - it is what it is.  A point in time reference as to where my body is from a physical composition standpoint.  It doesn't represent where I am from a physically capable point.  I will try not to beat myself up too much over it.  After all - I did ignore my nutrition for the better part of a year before I tried to tighten it up for P90x.

Going back to what's next.... Still not sure.  I'm still leaning towards Convict Conditioning.  I really want to do calisthenics work and work towards a handstand push up and pistol squat.  Those are fitness goals, that are skill goals.  I want to work on my mobility/flexibility.  At the same time - I know I need to work cardio as well.  Not having something mapped out for me does kind of suck.  It does bother me a bit, but like anything else.  Do the research.  Do the work.  Figure it out.

I plan to schedule another BF% test for March around when I turn 45.  So it will likely be done on March 11, right before I turn 45.  3 months from now.  I don't expect the scale to move much if I stick with my macros and nutrition, but I just don't know.  I don't know if the calisthenics work will bring enough intensity or not - but it will definitely bring strength work to push my muscles.  The nutrition, which is the biggest key, will be up to me.

Overall I'm happy I got my head out of my ass and did P90X.  Those 90 days got me focused enough to lose 10lbs of what was obviously pure fat.  My body feels good.  It feels strong.  I don't feel I have any weak or painful joints any longer.  That isn't necessarily the result of doing P90X, more so of finding a balance between pushing my body with hard workouts and rewarding it with things like Yoga, stretching and foam rolling.  The rest is up to me.  Keeping my nutrition on track and keeping the balance with my body.  Until next time.
