I'd say I'm doing okay here. I seem to be losing about 8 lb per month, which is a good, healthy rate. Inches started peeling off this month because of the Callanetics and the gym and my personal trainer, all of which, given these results, I shall definitely keep doing.

I anticipate breaking that 100s digit VERY SOON!!!!

Weighing In 10/21/2018

205.5, down 0.5 from the forever weight of yesterday (and many days before yesterday) of 206.

Gotta love egg-grapefruit days! They do break through plateaus.

I haven't been particularly faithfully doing my Callanetics. I need to get better about that. I will record the audio track on AudioNote and have it on my phone when I go to the gym. It's a great workout, but I need to actually DO it. That's the best and fastest way to affect measurements and get an actual waistline back.

But hey: I'm getting there, albeit very slowly. And very slowly is actually the way to do this. On 1 October, I weighed 209.75, so I'm down 4.25 lb this month ... which sure beats being up 4.25 lb!!

Weighing In 10/3/2018

207.0, down l pound from yesterday's 208.0.

I'll take it!

I'm pretty sure it's water weight lost; Darryl really, REALLY kicked butt last night at the gym, and I was dripping sweat; I couldn't even do some of the exercises (I simply modified a bit and stayed moving through the burpees (squat thrusts with a pushup in the middle and a jump at the end ... no way) and the rope climb).

Also, yesterday's food was pretty sparse. I ate my usual bran muffin for breakfast, had a smoothie (whey protein, apple, peanut butter, 1 Tbsp dark chocolate, water) for lunch, a protein bar (230 calories) to buck up for Darryl's class, then a pork chop and green beans stir fried in a capful of olive oil for dinner. Oh ... and two bowls of frozen strawberries for dessert!

He didn't give us homework, so I'll simply continue with the Callanetics (which I was going to do anyway).
