Determination Day 15 - The Physical

I had my yearly physical with my Doctor today.  Some of you might know that before Christmas, my DR thought I might have a Prostate infection.  Today I had blood work, EKG, and the dreaded finger (turn your head and cough).  The bad news, until I get my blood work back, is that my Prostate was slightly swollen.  The good news is that he thinks it is due to the infection which I'm on a 14 day antibiotic for.  Heart, Lungs, and everything else so far looks good.  Even better news is that I'm 282 lbs. according to the scales at the office there.  So that means that my BMI is actually 37.2.  Given that (and based on the equation I posted earlier on), my Body Fat Percentage is 37.1% ((1.2*37.2)+(0.23*39)-(10.8*1)-5.4) which is much better than 40.29% I had originally calculated.

It still means that I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I feel better about it.

I talked with my Doctor about my approach and he agrees completely.  I don't need to worry about how much I weight since as I add lean muscle and reduce body fat, I'll be swapping bad lbs for good.  He wants me to target a BMI of 24.4 which means a Body Fat Percentage of 22.05%.  Even though we agreed that I shouldn't worry about weight, that should put me at around 185 lbs of which roughly 41 lbs is fat as apposed to my current fat weight of 104 lbs.  So I gotta drop or swap over about 63 lbs of fat.

He also said that I should be able to do about 2 lbs a week.  So that will put me at about 30 weeks to get to where I want to be.  So that should put me look Damn SEXY by the first week of June.  "HEY HONEY, WE'RE GOING TO THE NUDE BEACH TO SHOW OFF!!!!!!"  And you think I'm kidding!?

All right boys and girls, I have my official targets and Dr. approval.  So Here We Go!!!!
