Happy Black Friday Everyone! Morning news focused on shoppers in line all over town - real hard hitting news!! ;)

Well - I am not playing another record for a while, gotta play this same ole broken record, 4+ weeks of it - thought I was trending all week on the 149 side but alas, my body said "NO! Just kidding", and wound up at 150 on the dot. So, there I go.

Today is our Thanksgiving. I am really looking forward to a wonderful dinner with everyone.

I have come across three bits of "information" this past week searching for a plateau buster that I have read before, but still worth asking about, see if anyone had any thoughts on them. They are:

1. Set Point - the idea that our bodies fight to get back to our set point, whatever it happens to be at the time. It's easier, obviously, to reset it to a higher number - but very hard to find a new, lower, set point.

2. Stalls around 12% body fat - maybe it was on the Built Lean website where I read that most men stall out around the 12%BF point, (which is where I am), as the body fights and the adjustments are tough to break through. Though it felt like a purely anecdotal/observational statement, it felt like it held some merit based on my circumstances.

3. The 10% loss - that our bodies will tolerate a 10% drop(that was 3 pounds ago for me), but then slow, and fight back. Then we should spend some time there, maybe help to re-establish a new set point, and then chase the next 10% drop after that time.

Near as I can tell, (though it is from inaccurate calculators on fat2fit and scoobyworkshop), to get to 9-10%BF i still need 5 more pounds of a drop (also assuming it is mostly fat).

So - with these bits of info in mind, I have re-calibrated the weight loss simulator for 60 days again for this 5 pound loss. Take this last leg slowly. I did it with sedentary exercise settings - and it still says 2000cal/day average.

It's doubtful I will get any surprise "whoosh" from this day through a week from Monday, but stranger things have happened. If I can come back from my golf trip the same weight I left I will consider that a victory. Still, will officially weigh in Monday, before I fly out to Arizona.

Anyway, 200 medicine ball workout and 45 minutes of cardio today to give myself some "room" for our feast this eve. :)

Enjoy your Friday - hope your Thanksgiving was great. Cheers.
