Weigh-in: Week 32

So long, 290s.  It's been okay getting to know you over these last five to six weeks, but I have to move on.  We're breaking up.  It's not you.   It's me.  And no.  We can't still be friends.  I'm with the 280s now and we're happy for the moment.  

Normally I tease you all until we get to the second paragraph to say how much I lost. Tonight I thought I would just let ya have it.  1.4 lbs. lost last week, taking me from 290.8 down to 289.4.  

I was fairly inactive these past seven days and wasn't really expecting much, but after doing the pre-scale rituals this morning, like blowing my nose, clipping my nails, shaving, Q-tipping, the john, and maybe spitting a few times, I felt it was okay to see if I was any lighter.  Indeed I was.  My total loss is now 74 lbs.  This week the fat percentage fell to 45.6 from 46.1 in week 31.  The water rose, as expected, to 39%, up from 38.7%.

I will be going back to the gym on Wednesday and I am thinking I might revert back to a mileage based walking program, rather than just kidding myself into thinking I will do twenty minutes of walking each day. The weather is perfect and if I can get around Lake Parsippany three times in a week, it will be over eight miles.  I'd be happy with that.

Join me tomorrow for my take on September being "Better Breakfast Month."

Cya then,
M

What I ate today and how I exercised:
