70 and Starting Strength

[Argosy]

Have been reading the threads for awhile and find they give me encouragement so thought I'd post my log to help me or anyone stay on track.
While farting around earlier this year with 10# DBs to help my golf game thought that maybe lifting real wts would help more. Got an old set out of the garden shed and found I really enjoyed it.
Researching led me to strong lifts then to SSBBT. Got the book and in Aug began cautiously with the novice program. Felt great and still do. I use 'myfitnesspal' to track diet macros. 6' 3/4" 181 # at the beginning currently at 190#. Waist is the same. Using various fat calculators seems my fat has dropped from approx 28 to 21%. I work out 3 times a week at about 7a m. Definitely hitting the ball further but have cut back to two games per week, walking.
OK, here's the workout:

The workout takes about 45 mins each session. Always feel energized afterward and have to remind myself to rest.
Weightlifting is terrific for geezers from what I read here and my own experience.
Thanks guys.
