feelin' just fine
Body fat calculator. I don't actually know what my precise measurements are, alas. My neck seems to be about 13" around, according to this legal size pad-paper I wrapped around it. I dunno. I used to be able to wear Reg's pants and now I can't, so that's good enough for now. (I gained a lot of weight last year due to making lemon cream cheese pies and eating them all by myself.) And I can wear the sweet striped pants I bought on Modcloth (where a 13 is the same as an 8, because apparently Juniors have no hips).
Enough of that. I traded in a fuckton of points/rewards/dividend dollas at REI on Friday to get this sweet eVent jacket for like $45 or so. It was exciting, and FORTUNATELY it rained half the weekend so I could test it out. I mean literally half, like you'd go a block and it wouldn't be raining. It was pretty annoying. But yeah, I got the blue one cos the black was - well, I plan to wear this thing skiing, where visibility is more important than looking cool. And the green one was too puke-tastic. Reg insists that blue looks good on me, even this bright electric blue. Some blues wash me out too much, I think, but Reg is the fashion guru, not me.
Right at this minute I think, Reg is taking the application tests for watchmaker's school. His dad and his grandfather and great-grandfather were watchmakers, and he decided recently this was what he too wanted to be when he grew up. (His dad was initially going to become a nurse or doctor, which is how he met his wife, who still is a nurse.) Secretly he wants to be an English or history professor, but this is probably a little more practical. Still, the school only accepts 12 applicants per year, so he was pretty nervous the past week about this. I wished him luck many times and hope he gets it. We shall see.

I knew height (77") and waistband size (34"), so I put in 10" for my neck, at a guess, and got 23.22% body fat. I then put in 8" for my neck and got 26.24%. I then put in 20" for my neck and got 3.85%.
I FIND THIS CALCULATOR TO BE SUSPECT.

I put in my sizes from my lowest adult weight, thin and very athletic - and it still told me that was in the "obese" range - did you notice it jumps from 'acceptable' straight to 'obese'?

Watchmaking is very, very cool. I've always admired the art.

That made me laugh. It's so to the point.
I got a 18.3% on that body fat thingie, which seems fairly reasonable.
