Midpoint Inbody scan came in at 29.5% body fat (previous 29.2%). I’ll be honest — I felt a little disappointed at first. But then I looked at the full picture. 📏 Waist: - Feb 15: 30.08 in - Feb 28: 26.58 in That’s a 3.5 inch drop. 📏 Hips: - Jan 31: 33.95 in - Feb 28: 33.47 in Trending down. Clothes are looser. I feel leaner. Visually I can see the change. So what does this tell me? I’m losing inches — especially in my midsection — even if the InBody fluctuated 0.3%. And here’s what I’m owning: I’ve been sleeping 4–6 hours while training 5x/week. That’s under-recovery. Sleep impacts cortisol, water balance, and body fat readings. This midpoint didn’t say “you gained fat.” It said: “Fix your recovery.” 🔧 Adjustments Moving Forward: ❌ No slashing calories ❌ No extreme cardio ❌ No panic ✔ Prioritizing 7–8 hours of sleep ✔ Keeping protein high (130g+) ✔ Continuing strength training ✔ Trusting inches + trend over one scan Because if my waist is down 3.5 inches… that’s real progress. Midpoints aren’t report cards. They’re feedback. And I’m still fully locked in for 25% by October. Saturday reflection. Sunday reset. Next phase = better sleep, better recovery, better results. We keep going 💪

This morning my partner set his alarm for 5AM to hit the gym. Normally he works out on Saturdays… BUT this weekend he has other duties he needs to handle, so if he skipped today — the workout wasn’t happening. Alarm goes off. He’s awake. Not motivated. Very tempted to crawl back into bed. 😴 I gave him a gentle nudge: “You’re already up. It’s not like you’re going back into deep sleep. Go to the gym. Do TWO sets. Progressive overload. That’s it.” He sighs… “Urrrggghhh fine I’ll get up and go to the gym.” 😂 Why did I push? Because: • Consistency > convenience • Habits > mood • And we’re having steak dinner Saturday 🥩😏 I simply reminded him — balance. Not in a nagging way. Not controlling. Just reinforcing structure. If Saturday is full of responsibilities + steak dinner, then Friday is the anchor. He came home and I asked, “How was the gym?” He said, “It was good… I still feel like I smell like Korean BBQ and I’m still so full.” 🤣 But he went. That’s the win. He worked hard. He adjusted his schedule. He honored consistency. Sometimes loving someone is helping them build habits — not enabling the snooze button. And I’m learning how to teach structure without becoming the nagging partner. That balance matters too. Friday reminder: You don’t need perfect motivation. You need commitment.
