My submissive journey: fitness

A mixed bag of nothing

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your tendency is to constrain the waves of emotional intensity today because you fear what might happen if you tell the whole truth. You may be overly concerned about losing face as the dramatic Leo Full Moon lights up your 10th House of Status. Unfortunately, practicing too much self-control can lead to frustration. Keep the pressures of your life in perspective by replacing negative blame with positive solutions. Be as honest as possible and you'll be fine.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may be clinging to unexpressed feelings today as if they are irreplaceable treasures. However, today's Leo Full Moon brightens your 2nd House of Values, suggesting you might need to share what's bothering you in order to raise your self-esteem. When emotional intensity pressurizes your subconscious, it will release one way or another. Instead of waiting for something scary to happen, taking a proactive approach alleviates the tension and disperses unnecessary doubt.

I know a lot of ppl find these bullshit, and generally i just find them fun, but i tell you these ones are so damned scary close to reality it's unreal!
Sir and i are in a weird place right now. I don't really wanna go into detail here, i don't think Sir would like that, but a lot is going on.
If i'm not writing here it's mostly for that reason; i don't really know what to say about it.

If you want to know about other aspects of my life, like training and such, you can follow my other blog:

Today i will write for all three settings, only because it's a new month so it wouldn't matter as much is the stats became a bit different. I will try to find out which is the most correct one.

Normal one (sedentary):

Weight (Kg): 59,6

Body Fat (%): 30,6

Body Water Volume (%): 47,7

Muscle Mass (%): 33,9

Bone Mass (%): 11,2

Heavy work:

Sport a lot:

Weight (Kg): 59,6

Body Fat (%): 21,2

Body Water Volume (%): 54,1

Muscle Mass (%): 38,4

Bone Mass (%): 12,9

Saturday 30th June:

23.45

OK, i'll write the one i usually use, just to keep it in proportion with the other stats, although i don't think it's the correct one anymore.

Weight (Kg): 59,6

Body Fat (%): 30,1

Body Water Volume (%): 48

Muscle Mass (%): 34,1

Bone Mass (%): 11,2

End of month stats:

Hahahaha that makes me look like a mile wide! (hence the last picture to prove that's not the case ;) ) But what you think? Getting results? =D

I'm once again getting confused about the settings on my scale -what am i if i sit all day, except for going to the gym? And if i do that 3-4 times a week?

Just to demonstrate how big a difference it is:

Sedentary (the one i usually use):

Weight (Kg): 60,6

Body Fat (%): 31,1

Body Water Volume (%): 47,3

Muscle Mass (%): 33,6

Bone Mass (%): 11,1

Sport a lot:

Weight (Kg): 60,6

Body Water Volume (%): 53,8

Muscle Mass (%): 38,2

Heavy work:

Weight (Kg): 60,6

Body Fat (%): 27,3

Body Water Volume (%): 49,9

Muscle Mass (%): 35,5

Bone Mass (%): 12,2

Ok so which one?
I don't think sport a lot, but maybe i should start using Heavy work? That would at least feel better =P
