Six hours of solid sleep with vivid dreams. Morning plank. Ten minutes on the Air Walk Trainer first thing in the morning to burn off glycogen. Today is an up day on the Alternate Day Diet (4:3, intermittent fasting) - eat all I want - because I'm going out for breakfast with my aunt. Today is a day for working with posture, neck, and trunk exercises from "Age-Defying Fitness." Tomorrow is a strength-training day (legs). Sixty minutes of posture, neck, trunk, and flexibility exercises from "Age-Defying Fitness" on the mat. Cardio: 51 minutes on the Air Walk Trainer, 997 steps. Active heart rate: 104, resting heart rate, 84. Relaxation: 25 minute nap, 24 minutes of a whole body guided meditation. It's always frustrating how health advice flip-flops: New Study Finds No Association Between Salt And Blood Pressure and Low-Fat Dairy Will Not Make You Thin or Happy. I decided that regifting my aunt with the scale would be tacky - not to mention possibly sending an insulting message - so I will keep it. I'll use it until I get an Omron HBF-514C Full Body Composition Sensing Monitor and Scale, which looks like it will do what I want: measure visceral fat and muscle mass and track my increase. I met with my aunt for breakfast. One of her sons is a classic example of metabolic syndrome. He's 55 with a paunch, which worrisome given a family history of heart attacks. He plays tennis, which is a good overall exercise, but has managed to wind up with tennis elbow and lower back problems. My aunt wanted to take a look at a senior apartment complex she wants me to move into. I didn't have a problem with that on the face of it. However, neither of us knew the exact location and since she didn't have a smart phone or a GPS, I didn't want to waste a half hour to an hour driving around trying to find it. Then she wanted to go to Kohl's and buy me a shirt, but I have two closets full of clothes. Target? I'm trying to cut down the number of possessions I have when I move. Groceries? I'm trying to clear out full cupboards, pantries, and fridge. Inflatable mattress? I'm sleeping fine on an exercise mat and I have an apartment full of junk. I don't have room for an inflatable mattress given all the junk I already have. I may have come across as an ungrateful jerk, but I have reasons for turning down her offers. The prospect of losing my mobility due to sarcopenia has put me on the edge.

Just started reading "The Big Fat Surprise" by Nina Teicholz. It talks about how the fat phobia developed, and the role that industry and government, not science...or actually, some bad science, had in leading us down the path of these confusing dietary recommendations.
I hear you on downsizing possessions. We are planning a move in 6 to 12 months, and it is a huge task to get rid of all the stuff that is so easily accumulated over time. It does require some resoluteness (is that a word?) to push back against the never ending tide of "stuff".

Enjoy your day and your family. With you constantly exercising, I think you can delay the progression of sarcopenia. Wishing you the best!

yduj57, other examples of flip-flopping include the caffeine wars and this: "People who avoid carbohydrates and eat more fat, even saturated fat, lose more body fat and have fewer cardiovascular risks than people who follow the low-fat diet that health authorities have favored for decades, a major new study shows." - A call for a low-carb diet that embraces fat, New York Times, September 1, 2014

Thanks, C67241. The cardio seems to have helped to lower my body fat. My goal isn't to delay the progression, but reverse it. "Strength Training for Seniors: How to Rewind Your Biological Clock" by Michael Fekete says it all in the title. The consensus from what I've read is that you can add muscle mass into your nineties.
