Chris’s 30 Day Reboot Day 11

Day 11 of the 30 Day Reboot and Chris is experiencing what feels like a small setback, however, even when you’re measuring more than one metric, it’s important to remember these measurements aren’t perfect either. For example, when using a scale that measures body fat through bio-electrical impedance (which measures the resistance to a low energy current as it travels through muscle and body fat), there are several factors that will affect the reading, including hydration status and food and alcohol consumed beforehand.

More than likely these numbers will continue to come down, but continue to have small fluctuations day to day.
