Some Other Measures

I was paging through this food log I’ve been writing since I started on Friday.

I don’t have any of the macro information yet (aside for maybe some of the stuff I’ve eaten outside of the house, because I looked it up on my phone so I knew how much insulin to take.)

Apparently the day after my first training session on the fasting scheme of LeanGains, I took some circumference measurements. I really want to make clear that the only portion of his program I’m really aping is his 16 hours of fasting, 8 hours of feeding, roughly the same times every day. My macronutrient splits are nonsense and my calories are not yet in order (look for that post on Friday when I look back on this first week, doing a dietary audit, hah.)

Now, I barely remember doing this. Certainly not what day this all was done, specifically, but I do remember being astounded that my chest was even a quarter of an inch larger than my waist. I intentionally pushed out my gut but relaxed my chest. I wanted to see my absolute worst relative measurements in these regards…

And I definitely remember being irritated that I couldn’t properly measure my shoulders because I didn’t have anyone to help me and my wrists wouldn’t bend enough to do it myself.
