Good morning!
Well, the yo-yo-ing is still going strong.
I'm UP 1.1 kilo since yesterday.
Yesterday, I was at another workplace. I didn't have a proper lunch with me, and there was no food available other than what they had served. That'll teach me to plan ahead in the future.
On top of that, we were in the middle of nowhere, and mobile internet was not an option, which means I had no way of recording my food on the fly.
Sure, I could have simply written it down. I didn't. I ended up just not bothering, but simply tried doing allright.
I know I did NOT do allright. Not at all.
Today is another day.
I don't feel that the weight gain is totally justified, though. Sure, I probably at more than I would when I count, but not a full frickin' kilo! Come one! lol.
...
So, I dug out the old smart smart scale. I found out some interesting things.
1. It does weigh about 300 grams heavier than my newer one. Can I use that as an excuse for my gain? No. But I could maybe have it account for 300 grams of it. It doesn't really matter.
2. There HAS been some significant changes.
My measurements on this scale today says:
Weight: 91.6 kilos.
Fat%: 10.8%
Visceral fat: 11
BMI: 28.9
Now, I went back in my calender to find a day where I weighed just about the same, to see what the numbers said back then.
I came to December 6th, 2012. So this is still AFTER my surgery, but before I started working out.
These are the numbers I recorded that day:
Weight: 91.7 kilos
Fat%: 19.6%
Visceral fat: 11
BMI: 28.9
Now, THIS is interesting.
I have - compared to that day three months ago - not lost ANY weight. However, my fat percentage is down with a whopping 9%! Hot damn!
This is DEFINITELY encouraging, and definitely an eye opener (of the good kind)!
I do feel that my belly fat is softer. I do feel in WAY better shape. I do feel changes. I feel stronger. I feel better. But it's been so frustrating to not lose weight.
But a body fat percentage change of 9% is a significant change, I'd say.
Simple math says that 9% of 91 kilos about 8 kilos. So does that mean that I can more or less interpret this in the way that I have changed 8 kilo body weight from fat to musicle (or potentially, fat and water)? What do you guys think?
It's too bad that this old scale doesn't record muscle. It would have been nice to have that number.
Still, I REALLY want to weigh less. As much as I enjoy that I am stronger, I still feel weighed down by being heavier. I still feel that I can do better, optimize more. I want to do this.
Today, I am back to normal schedule. Out of bed, breakfast, workout, work, home. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing that should throw me too much off the program, unless I go to the candy store. Which I won't. I promise. :)
Today, I'm thankful for:
- Realizing the massive change that I never really saw sneak up on me.
- Morning coffee.
- A day with nothing out of the ordinary.
Happy Wednesday, everyone! Maybe it be full of positive experiences! Life is good!
