MyPlate N of 1, Day 1

In case you missed my post about why I'm conducting this experiment, here it is. This post is to document my beginning stats.

Date: September 10, 2011
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 157.5 pounds
Body Fat: 13.1%
BMI: 22.6
Blood Pressure: 134/77

Notes: my blood pressure reading is from yesterday afternoon at my chiropractic appointment. Not sure why it's reading so high, I'm normally pretty spot on ~120/80. Thought I'd include it anyway. In regard to my body fat: I test it using an Omron hand held bioelectric impedence device. I know these are not accurate. :) I had my BF hydrostatically tested in June 2011 with a result of 12.5%. That same day, this device read my BF% as 13.3%, so I think it's actually decently accurate. However, I'm not assuming that it's reading is 100% accurate. I am using it simply to gauge fat gain or loss over the course of this experiment.
