Full Disclosure: Body Fat Analysis

 

This morning I went through a Body Fat Test, to establish a baseline for what I do in training. 
I have not run a 10K (my first) since 30 September 2007 (result was that I hurt myself).
I have not done much training-ride cycling since my accident, 9 June 2008 (bike since replaced).  I have not cycled to work in a month (mostly because I have not been in town).  Wow, I sound injury prone.  But I'm not.

So here is today's "truth": 228.2 pounds, 26.3% bodyfat -- lean mass of 168.6lb.  Base Metabolic Rate of 2157.

BMI calculator says I have a BMI of 28.9 ("That's Overweight"). 
If I was just lean mass, I would have a BMI of 21.4 -- the center of a "normal" weight range (18.5-24.9).  I do not like BMI.

Curious to see what this looks like in 4 months, 8 months, a year. 
This is historically on the lower end for me, weight-wise, although I have no previous accurate data on body-fat.
