Milestone

So first of all, a big shout out to my older sister and younger brother on their birthdays this week. Obviously, that is a big milestone in their respective lives, turning one year older. But you want to hear another milestone? This is post number fifty! So thanks to all you readers who've stuck through everything, the good and bad.

To keep with the milestone motif, I feel obliged to tell everyone about the most recent weigh in. This past Wednesday we again measured our weight, BMI, and fat percentage. So in the past month, I lost four pounds, dropping to 191, which made my BMI drop from 26.5 to 25.9. Now, weight loss is not really a goal of mine. Losing fat is the priority, while gaining muscle. I was obviously very pleased to see that my fat percentage dropped from 15.2% to a microscopic 12%. It was great to see these results, especially because practice begins in one week, February 1st.

So I wouldn't go ahead and say that the weigh ins are becoming milestones, although I truly look forward to them. It definitely keeps me motivated when it comes to doing my cardio and I think that being fit and in good shape will help me tremendously on the field. Being as I routinely catch doubleheaders, carrying less fat will definitely keep me fresher.

Now, keeping all that in mind, being in better shape, being stronger, and the work I've been doing on my hitting, hopefully I can have some on-field milestones. 38 days until opening day!
