A little over 7 weeks has gone by since my dreadful DXA scan.If you remember, it was the scan that ended my brilliantly thought-out 7 week experiment of “what would happened if I stopped training and stopped fasting?”.Nothing good happened in that experiment – I lost 7 pounds of muscle and gained 5 pounds of fat.But now, I’m back in form.And I’m going to take this opportunity to really explore the importance of knowing your body. Specifically, I want to talk about the importance of knowing your measurements.Most people know their weight… some even guess at their body fat, but it’s still the minority of people who actually track their measurements…. which isn’t a good thing.Case in point – It’s been about 7 weeks of fasting and training, and my weight hasn’t changed…at all. It has fluctuated between 174-176 for the last 7 weeks. Which would drive me absolutely crazy, except I know my measurements.
