I'm trying to accomplish getting into the best possible shape my body can be in without being obsessive about it. Though I guess if I'm bothering to get skin calipers and worrying about a few pounds, I've already blown that goal.
Basically, I want to be a local level demon. Win local crits, move up the cats, ride with the big boys on the group rides, but not even think about getting into a higher level than that.
Big fish small pond goals.
I think what I'm going to do is Goodwill all of my clothes (shorts too, since over the summer I wasn't doing what I'm doing now) and get a new lower body wardrobe for my body type now.
And as for getting a tape measure, I don't think that's as good of an indication with women, since we keep our belly/thigh fat with more resistance than men do. In fact, ALL of the fat I lost on the calipers was upper body. The belly and thigh measurements went down only slightly. Oh the joys. I lost fat on my tricep. Yay.
