Fitness Assessment & Body Composition Analysis Pt 2: Electric Boogaloo

So, going for my second time for this analysis, I was hoping for good results… and they sure were!

Weight: 209lb (down 14lbs from 223)

Total Body Fat %: 25.5 (down 5.8% from 31.3%)

My goal weight is up (3lbs) to 181lbs with 14% body fat.

Some other interesting things:

- my lean body mass is up around 2.5lbs (this is why my goal weight went up)

- my lean body mass to fat ratio is up to 2.9 to 1 (from 2.2 to 1)

So there have been some awesome improvements in my physical shape!

A Day Without Shoes aka “Ain’t Got No Sole”

So a few weeks ago I heard about this idea that TOMS shoes had, to have a day where people went without shoes. I have a pair of TOMS, love ‘em, dig their business, and I thought it was a good & cool idea to go sans shoes for a day.

The hardest part I’ve found about going barefoot all day is the looks I would get from people. I mean, I don’t really care what they think but so many people have given me a look like “why the hell aren’t you wearing shoes?”…

A question that TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie likely wondered. After all, shoes are a fairly basic thing (I’ve realized this from all the looks I get) yet there are so many children in this world who do not have any.

It’s sometimes harder to walk in someone’s shoes when they have never owned a pair. If only I’ve engrained that more in my head today then it’s been worth it. Once I can afford it I’ll likely buy another pair of TOMS, and a child will get a pair. I hope others will do the same. do it here.
