Winter Break

I had a good vacation, overall, and a much needed one, although I meant to go into work more than I did. I did get to the gym fairly often, which paid off with my fitness assessment from yesterday. According to the little electronic device that the trainer used, I am 6.1% body fat (take that, body caliper!), which he seemed amazed by, but said is very low. I'm not sure his amazement is entirely complimentary...

I was supposed to dd on Saturday and Sunday, but was only half successful, as I started drinking as soon as we arrived on Saturday, and stopped when I passed out. I only remember bits and pieces from the evening in general, and there are large chunks missing. One of the missing portions was my experience as a canvas for Nicole and Jess. I've always enjoyed being drawn/written on, and certainly there've been worse reprecussions to my drinking overmuch, but it was a little awkward to be informed of getting out of the pool on Sunday.

I did a much better job on Sunday evening, spending most of the party counseling friends and opening bottles. I like being helpful. After the party, I went to Jason's with Anthony and was even more helpful, though I did drink there, and ended up spending the night, which I don't care for. Finally, yesterday, I went for my fitness assessment and played Marvel Ultimate Alliance with Jason, Dennis, and Jon. Not the most productive day I could have had, but okay.

The most important thing to remember about caliper tests isn't the actual number - it's the percent change in the number over time. And it should be administered by the same person each time in the same manner. It is imprecise. Based on that I'm surprised that you would be in the 22% range even on the caliper.

I'm also surprised that you are still alive at 6.1%. That is very low. Low to the point where I'd wonder about eating disorders. At least, that's what I remember. Marathon runners are in the less than 6% range.

Either way, you're quite handsome and obviously in very good condition (I saw your trixie). Gives me a little inspiration to try harder myself.
