What a Difference Batteries Make

Current Weight: 224lbs
Body Fat: 31.6%

Putting in new batteries in to the scale seemed to make a difference. Especially in the Body Fat check. I recently ordered a set of AccuMeasure FatTrack II body fat calipers. I'll take a while learning to use them properly and see what kind of numbers they give me compared to the Inductance method of the scale.

Keep Active, Play Catch

Current Weight: 227lbs
Body Fat: 40.2%

Today we went to Phoenix to visit my step-mother and my sister visiting from Arkansas. I took the kids to the greenway by her house and we played catch. It was a nice day and we had a great time. While I don't expect to burn tons of calories this way, being active is far better then being sedentary.
