I took a couple days off from blogging. Mainly because I was extremely busy with extremely important matters that called for my immense expertise. (Read: I didn't have anything to write. And I don't want to bore you. Well, not a lot.)
Anyway, I'm back to it, with new-found exuberance. I can honestly say that I've missed you, anonymous readers. And you, Mom.
Things have been pretty steady so far. 132 on Friday and 132.5 on Saturday. Blah.
Which brings me to today. I've decided to start taking measurements on Sundays instead of Tuesdays, because it made more sense to measure before I binge on triscuits than after. So I hope you've mentally prepared yourself for more naked pictures.
At this point, I'm pretty ready to be done with the 130s. My body, apparently, has other plans. So despite my every efforts to lean just-so to make the scale read 129, I weighed in at 132 this morning. Sigh.
Then the calipers and tape measure came out.
Here's how the rest of the weigh-in went down:
Upfront, the measurements don't show huge progress (down 1 inch and 1% body fat). But when I calculated my "fat weight" and realized I've now lost 6.4 lbs of fat (not water, not muscle, actual fat), I was pretty stoked. So while the scale may only show a 2.5lb loss, my body fat measurements give me a bit more credit. That and John keeps checking out my butt, so I take that as a good sign too...
Here are the pics.
Off to enjoy my pizza!
