8/4/2020 Weighing In

Well, I'm down to 213.25 today (and yesterday ... the day before yesterday I was at 213.5, and the day before that I was at 213.75). It's going down ... far more slowly than I'd like it to.

Gotta love what the weight loss is doing to my BMI, though; I started at 33.6; I'm down to 31.5. That's still "obese," but "overweight" (the next category downward) starts at a BMI of 29.9, so I'm getting out of the "obese" category, which is great, Great, GREAT!!!!!

Some of the plateau, of course, has to do with the "cheating" I've done. Yesterday was my first non-cheat day since Friday (today's Tuesday). I desperately need to get OUT of the house in the afternoon, and I desperately need to stop munching at bedtime. Those are my downfall times. And it's just habit. I am, however, drinking far, far more water than I ever did. It helps to make a pot of mint tea and use that as water flavoring ... then drink through a straw!

I can't garden today; it's raining. So maybe I'll just go for a car ride to a mall and walk the halls for an hour or so this afternoon. I'll also use my TRX straps and my NordicTrack. Hey ... I have them; I need to use them.

Onward!
