Why is it so much harder to lose? Happy to be headed the right way though. Swapped chicken for other proteins for a couple meals. Will continue through the week with a lovely pork tenderloin in the works. Calories were about the same.
Some of this is definitely muscle weight compared to last year. I'm wearing the new size 8 jeans I bought last year and while there's still belly fat I can play with (obsess over), the darn pants keep slipping off so I'm forced to wear a belt. I do still have a ways to go, but it's no longer just the weight number because that's definitely subjective once you exclude medical reasons which I have by getting much more athletic again.
I'm going to set some mini goals. Five pounds or another belt notch by the end of the year so I'm not a holiday scrooge but I can look good as I'm turning down drinks and cookies. Now I need to figure out how to lose body fat in my belly, keep the boobs and figure out where the heck my butt went because it's the flattest I can remember which is weird. More dolphin kicks required, I guess. I miss hiking the canyons, I think that was the best for the glutes, but it's just not safe.
Ramblings in my head. Nothing to see here, move along.
Edit: 3 smaller chicken tacos and pumpkin pie "guts" meaning no crust. Overestimated all, but the scale will tell if that was a good enough guess.
