New fat loss monitor
Received a new body fat analyzer from Amazon today, an Omron HBF-306C. Here's a pic of it next to my Tanita TBF-551 scale. The tanita said I'm at 16.2% today and the Omron gave a reading of 15.6%. I have the omron set at normal even though I've been working out frequently enough to use athelete mode according to it's documentation.
Have around 12 more pounds of fat to lose to reach my goal of 10%. Then I can concentrate on gaining some more muscle.

Little progress
Three weeks in and I'm seeing little progress so far, same weight and bodyfat according to the scale (althouth I'm down one waist size). So it's time to get strict with the diet, cut out all carbs except for vegtables and some berries (well maybe allow a half bagel for breakfast), stick to high protein medium health fats.
The 1 month cardio challenge at work starts on monday. Maybe I can bump up my workouts to three a day. Cardio in the morning and at lunch, plus a walk and p90x at night. I wonder if walking with a weighted vest counts as cardio.

Fitness goals
Almost done with 2nd week of P90X. Looking a little leaner already. I've only done the ab ripper x part once so far. Usually too tired to do the ab workout after weight lifting. Hopefully I'll be able to start including abs every other day during my lunch time cadio workout at the gym.
Tried the Yoga workout for the first time this week. Got through 30 minutes before giving up. Couldn't bear the idea of a 90 minute workout. Will try X Stretch as a substitute next week. It's only 60 minutes.
Some random fitness goals:
10% bodyfat (8% would be better, want to look ripped)
16" arms, think they are 15" now
225 x 5 bench press
315 x 5 squats
