Back from MorganShen
Monday, August 8th, 2005Got back from Hangzhou, Morganshen last night. Apparently it was in the heart of the Typhon, and we arrived just as it hit our European Cottage. This was Mark Kitto’s Cottage, (one of 2), that he has been summering in. Not a bad place for an x- magazine publisher licking his wounds, and playing with his kids, to write his story of how the Information Ministry nicked his business.
Windows slamming, rain and wind so hard, that you can’t see past 2 meters ourside, electricty cut off, not enough candles, ghost stories, and being in the middle of nowhere, could really get your delusional pranoia going.
Good thing we had massive amounts of booze, lots of food, (although tree uprooting winds is not conducive for lighting bbq fires, we still bbq twice). good friends, good stories, Texas Hold Them, games, and a fire place does cure alot.
Me being one of the only singles guys actually slept downstairs in the living room, with the creaky floor bed, the slamming windows, the howling wind and storm, under candle light. When Kevin told me that he saw an old lady just sitting in the kitchen next to the sink by herself in the dark, I swear, I wanted to beat his ass. Yes he was kidding, but it doesn’t matter, does it.
Anyways, in the middle of the night, I woke up, with all the candles out. Went to the bathroom, and heard noises in the Kitchen. FREAKY! I tell you, good thing I was already pissing, because I would have had to change shorts. Anyways… it turned out to be M trying to put more fluids in her to cure a hang over, …. but it was still one of those moments when clarity of ampathy with characters from a horror thriller suddenly dawn on you, and you realize, that’s how the fuck they got themself chopped up. They slept in the living room by themself, with a shade of a dead old lady in the kitchen.
I gained 1 KG.
Just did the Tanita analysis again at the new megafit. Basement, big and an addition of a boxing ring, but the towel still stink, and the members still ugly. I did see Joyce down there, so we may have some fun just yet.
I am 177 cm? I think probably 176 more likely.
Total weight is 218 lbs, (Very good weight progress, but there is a likely hood that I been losing muscle mass.. )
My clincal BMI still sucks, but it’s down to 31.6.
I should only consume 1800 Kcal or Cal/day now. (Which is a smaller eating plan. 5 meals, 400 Cal/ meal x 3 and 100 Cal for 2
snacks.)
My Impedance which measures resistance and converts to fat/ other body mass ratio has moved from 371 up to 395.
My total fat to body mass% is up from 27.2% to 31%, which is about a difference of 3.5 kg.
Apparently I have down to 150lbs of non fat mass. I was up to 169lbs of non fat mass, looks like I need to gain another 20lbs of muscle.
My total body water is down from 123 lbs to 109lbs, This is very normal, as we all need
to be above 50% hydration of total body mass.
My healthy body fat is still 8-20% which is 17.4 - 43.6 lbs.
My current fat mass is 68.2 which means I still have to lose 25 lbs of fat and gain 20 lbs of muscle.
Need to go back to the gym, and gain that muscle back on while still holding true to the oatmeal and salad and fish diet. I think I will have to proactively increase the dirty dancing and sex in the exercise plans……. positive reinforcements…. always helps. (j/k, but not really)
