The Japanese Zombie's Journal, 13 April 2016

Well well now! I knew that sign of tell-tale fat burn two days ago was going to lead to a drop in weight. I tend to plateau and then suddenly drop. I think it has to do with my hormones in particular but I know when I stall to keep calm and keep doing what I'm doing.

Today is my 1 day off a week from working out. Just because I'm giving my body a break, doesn't mean that I'm not active in another way. I'm at work right now and I plan to do what I call a "walking lunch break" meaning I eat at my desk while I work and then choose to take my "break" as a 30 minute walk outside. My goal today in terms of fitness is to squeeze in 10K steps and 5km in. 10 flights of stairs and at least 30 active minutes today. There is no excuse not to do something while breaking from my elliptical routine.

In terms of nutrition today, I brought a light lunch, will probably have a snack and a light dinner as well to compensate for not having an intense workout.

My total loss today is 34lbs, my body fat percentage is 27%, I have 24lbs to go to my goal, but my fitness and maintenance will NOT end when I reach my goal. I won't let myself slip again into bad habits or get lazy. It is just too much work to lose it. On the bright side I was stopped today by two people who noticed that I'm getting healthier, thinner, and putting an effort into my appearance!

164.6 lb Lost so far: 0.4 lb.    Still to go: 24.6 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
