Slipping… - BodyAge Challenge 13 of 16

Believe it or not, I can literally feel my face get fatter when I put on weight. For me, that’s the first indicator that I’ve been slacking off. I can’t see a visible bloating, but I can feel the skin on my face get taut. REALLY!

And when I stepped on the InBody scale, I realized my worst suspicions were true. I had put on 800gms (stop sneering; it matters ok??) and my fat percentage had gone up a little. D’yu know what this means? It means that I’ve literally put on weight because of added fat – not water retention, not muscle bulk, just that wobbly yellow stuff that happens after a coupla cakes. Cake. Mmmmmm… caaaaaaaake… *snaps back to reality*

With that, my trainer put me on a fat burning session. Not a full 60 minutes of cardio, but 3 minutes of high-energy cardio bursts between each set of weights. I’ve done this on my own before, and it makes for a really intense work out.

Since that session, I’ve gone for two short runs on my own. I really hope things don’t get worse at my next session… I’ve only 3 more to go!

Hey, what's the recommended fat percentage for women over 30 but under 35? I just weighed myself last night on our special scale and nearly fainted when I saw how much body fat I have!! Don't ask!

well according to the oh-so-reliable internet, the healthy fat percentage range for women in your age group is between 21 and 33%. some sites say 25-31%. *scratches head*

but personally, i think hitting anywhere near 30% or 33% is plain scary. because it means that if you weigh 60kg, about 20kg of that is fat. and as fat is less dense than muscle, volume-wise, can you imagine how much that is...?

the system of measurements i'm using now states that ideally, a chick should keep her fat percentage down to 23% and below, of course not hitting unhealthy ranges of 18% and below.

okay now you have to tell me what your scale told you... =D

Oh I feel better now. Nope, can't tell you!! It's absolutely disgusting.

See what happens when I continue to eat as much as I usually do, except now I don't walk everywhere like I used to in Singapore.

But you know, the funny thing is, I can still wear clothes from 10 years ago, it's tighter but they still fit!!!
