Goals

These are tracked independently. Reaching the weight target would not by itself mean reaching the body-fat target, and neither guarantees the waist or definition marker — so each one is measured on its own terms.

Definition

Visible abdominal definition

Not measured on a scale — tracked separately from the numeric goals.

Waist

Tracked, with no fixed target — 34.25 in at the last measurement.

Each point is a recorded weigh-in, positioned by date. Gaps are gaps — nothing is interpolated between measurements, and the twelve weeks between the May baseline and mid-August are weeks I did not record.

Smart-scale readings. Useful for direction over weeks, not as an absolute measurement — the fat-mass and muscle-mass split in particular is an estimate the device derives from impedance.

Twenty-minute steady-state pieces, average seconds per 500 m — lower is faster. Interval sessions are tracked separately, because a piece that drops to low output between efforts has a slower average split by design.

The planned week — 5 sessions. This is the schedule, not a record of attendance. Only the rowing pieces are machine-recorded, so those are the sessions with numbers against them.
