1st April weigh-in
And NO CHANGE... in weight.
But this past week, I've been seeing lower body fat readings on my Tanita body fat scale... which, while it does tend to swing a lot, it's the first time I've seen some of these numbers on it EVER! And the Omron has also been giving me lower numbers more regularly than a month ago.
I will try for some girth measurements tomorrow. But even if I don't see much going on there, I'm not worried. I've seen scale numbers in the 223 range this past week. The weight loss is coming.
So oddly, even if the scale reading is not what I could wish, I feel good! Happy even! Getting our appointment with the accountant set up this morning may have *something* to do with it... but not all. I feel like I am on the right path and it is just a matter of time. Every month, I weigh less than the month before.
I'm reminded of an article that Kelly posted on her blog Radical 180, called "The Egg". Worth a read if you are feeling a little frustrated with scale progress. Things are changing under the surface here... like that egg.
The food bit
Eating went fairly well this past week. I had that small binge, and a skipped meal and one normal 10% meal. So I kept 90% compliance which is what I am usually aiming for. One thing that wasn't entirely ideal, with hubby being on evening shift, we ate a fair few Jack In The Box salads. I'm not much up for cooking near midnight and didn't have a chance to fix a stew or soup or chili or something for him to just nuke when he rolls in after work.
But the Asian Chicken Salad really isn't too bad, veggies, fruit, chicken, almonds. I usually add some protein, either chicken of my own, or deli turkey and use minimal dressing, or substitute something of my own. Flexibility is a good thing in a long term plan.
Here's my Joe's Goals sheet for the week:
Better on the water and meal front than last week, but there is a bit of room for improvement.
Workouts
On the exercise front... I filled in another star on the President's Challenge site. Two more and I'll have completed a long delayed little goal! I also got in my planned 5 hours of exercise for the week. This week could be a bit more erratic, thanks to taxes, but I'm hoping to still get in plenty of exercise. If the weather cooperates... maybe even some yard work.
