I have a bit of OCD which sometimes drives my partner crazy. I like to plan to ensure that everything goes smoothly be it meals, expenses... and partner is quite the opposite. I track many things on spreadsheets (love spreadsheets a lot). Ironically, I can't track my meals... I have great difficulty as I find it so hard to determine weight of the food I eat, or even the food item as Asian meals are not so standard and are mainly sharing plates. Level 3 requires tracking, so let's see how it goes.

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 💪
