- very inaccurate body fat percentage from body composition scale: 9.2 % (went up)
- waist measurement around navel: 82.2 cm (went up)

d'oh! lol. Tomorrow is another day :)

- Blood pressure and heart rate: 108/79 - 60 bpm

edit: Today I'll do indoor cycling only. I have to see if I'm recovering properly from weight training with 2 days rest first before I try only 1 day rest :)

edit: I'm going to start measuring my blood pressure and heart rate for some time because I've read that they're a good indicator of whether you're recovering properly from exercise or over-training. Luckily, I've got one of those little portable ones so, today's reading is 108/79 - 60 bpm. I've read that a rise in heart-rate of as much as 3 to 4 bpm, from day to day, is normal and doesn't mean over-training so I'll be looking for higher differences than that.

edit: Today I inadvertently (kept forgetting) skipped indoor cycling. Not proud about it but it's no big deal. Tomorrow is weight lifting again and I'll probably cycle the day after :)

edit: either I've gone a long time without eating anything today or I simply forgot that I ate, in fact, something and can't remember it lol. :P I really don't think I ate anything. Those egg whites are not much in the way of taste but they surely make you full. I'll try really hard to remember anything I might have eaten but I think this is it so far :P

edit: Bell pepper and Balsamic vinegar or even cider vinegar, are really a great mouth-watering combination! :)

edit: I really have to start drinking more water! I usually forget after my breakfast's "mandatory" 17 oz (500 mL). They say that, for proper muscle recovery you should get, at least 64 oz (around 1814 mL) a day. So I have to post some memos on Google Calendar or something :)

edit: I managed not to drink milk so far today because of interference with magnesium absorption (my specific issue), but nothing can stop me from drinking milk late at night! Startiiing now! :D

edit: Thanks to the egg whites, I managed to easily get to the daily 100 g protein goal which my recovering muscles will thank me for!

And off to bed I go!

130.5 lb Lost so far: 13.7 lb.    Still to go: 7.1 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
