I changed by goal weight to "136" - One pound difference
SO--- I GOT A BLUE LINE YESTERDAY...YAY ME -
(Hey -Do not burst my bubble) - I am just glorifying in the temporary blue line.
Boy was that ever a lot of work!!!

I will change it back - "the guilt" - I can live without!
I bought a new scale - one that gives me percentages for body fat - water - muscle
and the BMR number for the day -
I was concerned about losing too much muscle - since the body only uses 31 calories of fat per pound per day - so if you only have like 10 pounds of fat -
then you can only use a total of 310 calories in fat before the body uses muscle.

With the new scale that shows the percentage of body fat -
that absolved all of my concerns about using up muscle -
(yah like I really worry about that ???!!!)
To my surprise - the diagnostic weigh scale states that I have ...
about 30% Body Fat = about 41 pounds of fat .... x 31 calories per day ...
Basically - I am a darn fool --- and skinny fat on top of it.
A Skinny Fat Fool
looking for a valid reason to indulge my higher Daily Caloric Intake
SO BACK IN THE RUT -
KNOCKED THE CI BACK DOWN TO 1,100 BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE EVER WORKS.
AND VOILA - I STARTED TO DROP WEIGHT RIGHT AWAY. YEP!!!
DRAG OUT THE HOT AIR POPCORN POPPER - HERE WE COME.
