Cavmj's Journal, 07 February 2015

This week a 1 pound lose which is still a lose! However I need to see what things I can do to improve on to get better results. My exercise level was much better and I am lifting weights 3 days per week (Mon, Wed and Fri) in the morning before work which consist of circuit style training of 4 sets at 15 reps per set. I also include cardio in my morning workouts. On Tuesdays and Thursdays are all cardio. I also include cardio workout during lunch for an hour or so on m-f.

I think where I need to focus in on better is my diet. I am consuming around the 1800-2000 level mostly quality food. But I have cheated some like eating a couple of cookies every other days, mixed nuts, salsa with chips etc. I think this is the area along with watching portion control I need to improve. The good news is my blood sugar is staying between 90 and 103 and m doctor has taken me off my insulin and byeta. I am just using metformin.
275.0 lb Lost so far: 35.0 lb.    Still to go: 100.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Sometimes when you do a lot of exercise, you lose fat quicker than you see the scale move downward. Exercise can cause muscles to retain water (google "why the scale lies" for insight). I had a friend go down 4 sizes but stayed the same weight for a few months. Weird, but it happens. Exercise helps you get leaner and stronger. So keep it up. Sounds like you are doing amazing. Take your measurements too.
