Keeping it steady which is ok as I've slacked off tracking calories for a couple of weeks; but back on it since yesterday. Trying to reduce the # of weigh-ins per week - I tend to get on the scale too often. Will reduce to once weekly. Also got one of those fat measuring calipers and tried it the first time this morning. Shows my bodyfat percentage is around 24.5 which is fine, but with lots of improvement possible. Resolving to use it once a week in tandem with the scale, may lose some fat without necessarily losing weight.
Annual medical checkup was on Tuesday: all good with total cholesterol at 160, was over 200 two years ago. HDL and LDL levels also normal, ditto for blood sugar and everything else. A plant-based diet with minimal oil largely responsible - averaging around 78% carbohydrates, 9% fat, 13% protein. Vitamin B-12 was borderline low, so now taking a daily supplement. Don't think it will make any noticeable difference.
On week 3 of a 22-week training program for the Houston Marathon on 17 Jan 2021. Good motivation to lose the last 15 to 20 lbs I need to drop to be at my 'fighting weight'.
Keep up the good work everybody, it is so encouraging to read about everyone's progress and to realize that I am not the only one with a life-long struggle with weight issues.
