I was informed last night by Kamie that she had set me up an appointment to meet with a doctor today..
This doc has a machine that can pinpoint where your metabolic rate is, and it shows other cool things like body fat percentage.
So today we went.
I had to first stand on a scale, barefoot, while it calculated all my stats. Then it spit out a little paper with the results.
My body fat percentage is 38%. Which was lower than I thought; and apparently I am really strong because I have 138lbs. of muscle. I don't where it is, but I guess it's in there somewhere..
Then we had to figure our metabolic rate.. This test is accomplished by breathing through a tube for 10 minutes. A "pincher" is placed on your nose to help avoid the temptation of breathing through it..
Kamie snapped this pic...
After a really long 10 minutes, I was done..
My metabolism is 5% slower than normal... In stark contrast, Kamie's is 24% above normal... Lucky
It was a fun experience and it's fun to learn about all this body stuff. Makes me think I should have paid closer attention in health class. :)
Hey.... Weigh-in tomorrow. Get excited!
Interesting. I wanna do it.
