Not a huge movement on the scale, however, the scale does not tell the whole story. My body composition has finally flipped to where more of my weight is now muscle than fat!
Over the weekend, our small town had a "Love Montevallo Day" which is basically a day to encourage people to show the local Main Street merchants. We we were walking up and down Main Street, in and out of stores. I see my teenage son walk along the back aisle of one of the stores looking for something. He goes away and comes back a few minutes later and is suddenly, "Dad! I ain't going to lie. I walked by here three times looking for you and didn't recognize you. I was expecting to see a guy with a belly out to here," And reaches his arm about two feet in front of him. "I really had not realized how much weight you have lost until now. I mean I knew how many pounds, but you just look so different!"
This morning I looked in the mirror at the gym. I look at myself everyday, brushing my teeth or shaving and stuff, but today I LOOKED at myself. Instead of looking at the flab and sagging skin, I paid attention to my overall body and saw the contours from muscle and bone. As I moved, I could see the muscles ripple under my skin. I was amazed and spent a minute just flexing and observing. Then someone came into the locker room and I suddenly felt really stupid.
So I may have just lost 3 lbs last month, but I so much healthier.
