Satisfaction and Irritation

Well I'm down to 235 and I'm guessing that 10% body fat will put me at 200.

Based on my activity level I'm finding seven times my body weight to be a good weight loss calorie intake.

Why is this irritating? Well, when I moved down here at the end of 2005... before my allergies put me down... when I was weightlifting 4-5 times a week, I was 256 and wore size 36 pants (35 if I could find a pair that had room for my thighs). As of today I could just squeeze into 36 pants.

What does that mean? It means I've lost well over 20 pounds of muscle.

Oh well.

My allergies and exercise induced asthma may not yet allow me to play with the weights but I'm now able to push myself and progress with my calisthenics.
