Weight: 232.4 (+.4) (it happens - I know its because my body is making adjustments and not because I made bad choices)
Fat: 55% so that goes down and my weight goes up (I'm not getting in enough exercise to think I'm building muscle much yet, maybe its water retention).
However, I did find this neat website that takes your measurements as well to give you your Fat % and BMI which I'm hoping is a bit more accurate.
According to http://home.fuse.net/clymer/bmi/
My stats are: Fat 43.7 % and BMI 41.2
I joined The Biggest Loser Pound for Pound Challenge - I might as well help out the local food bank while I'm on this journey. For every pound I lose, 11 cents is donated to the food bank which can get them a pound of food for distribution. I haven't quite figured out if its just the pounds I pledge or if I actually let them know how many pounds I lose. I'd rather it be that I have to track my progress but we'll see.
So the scale has gone up slightly the last two weigh ins. It's possible I'm not eating enough calories, so if its the same tomorrow again, I'll up my calories a bit with more protein and see if that makes a difference. I also have to take into consideration that I'm 42 and I may not lose weight the same way I have in the past. Although in the past I didn't do it in such a healthy way. I'm more balanced this time, at least that's what I like to believe.
Activity today: 25 minutes on the treadmill and cleaned the workout area in the basement for about 1/2 an hour, moving alot of things around and reorganizing.
I'm not feeling quite as good as yesterday but I still think I'm getting healthier and getting over this sickness. Hope so.
For food, I did pretty good today. 1/2 a yogurt, 1/2 a pb sandwich on ww bread, 1 cup of OJ, lunch was a spinach and lettuce salad with chicken no dressing (believe me, I like it like that. I usually go without dressing, it ruins the salad for me). Dinner homemade chicken soup :))) yummy (I plan to make soups more often because I get my veggies that way easier). Snacks: an apple, herbal popcorn, grapes. Almost all of my water.
Do you think I'm strange that I'm looking forward to shoveling snow tomorrow??? Its a great workout! :)
Sometimes I like to put tabouli on my salads instead of dressing. I like to shovel snow too because it IS a good work out. I put my music in my ear and go to town. Wish I could do it this year.
