Housework is going well, keeping up the habit of cleaning the kitchen every night(mostly!). Gearing up for overnight guests next week, musicians and their children passing through for the dance that I go to. Very glad to be able to donate that service of sharing my space. The only downside is if they try to help me: last time I lost several dishes and pot lids that got put in the wrong place!
Food is going ok - potluck tonight, I will bring some croissants out of the freezer, something I have been saving to share.
Weigh in included using my old scale and getting the bodyfat reading:
165.7 pounds, 34.4% Bodyfat per the scale.
My weight is holding steady - wishing to lose 1 pound a week does NOT make it so. Been loving the carb snacks but need to get back to "the job" (of losing weight) now!
Anybody know the general muscle loss associated with weigh loss? I have been doing strength training, so I can believe I have more muscle than I did 30 years ago. I can actually see it in my arms that I do have more upper-body muscle. Not going to do more than wonder about it for now - trying to stick to proper nutrition is work out enough for now!
Happy Thursday! It's smoothie time, Day 1.

Housework is a job itself, keeping me busy on vacation

Make certain that you are drinking plenty of fluid when house cleaning. A glass of wine always helps me. HA HA HA

The easiest way to tell if you are gaining muscle (or maintaining) while cutting fat is to monitor your strength. This is accomplished by using any strength training methodology based on progressive overload and logging every workout. As long as your lifts are going up, you are not losing meaningful muscle mass. Also a good sign that you can see muscle development. Just don't fall for the nonsense I see posted on here all the time that the scale isn't moving because you are replacing fat with muscle. That is almost surely delusional. If you need to lose fat, the scale should be moving downward, even as you train and build strength. Good luck! I encourage you to invest in your strength training. Definitely a strong plus for fat loss and more.

@jimmiepop thank you for the info! I have a gym membership - now I have to use it! I sprained my shoulder a month ago and have not quite recovered but do plan to go back to the weight room soon. I am scientific about this weight loss, so I know "replacing fat with muscle" is not a simple process but involves building muscle with resistance training and losing fat with proper nutrition.
