CatHerder's Journal, 30 Jan 16

My weight has been bouncing around in the mid 210's for a couple of weeks. I've recently been trying to drop my calories down to 2000/day to see if that can start up the weight loss again. On the positive note, the calipers are saying I've dropped another 1% of bodyfat, down to 16.5%. Looking in the mirror I really don't see it as I still have that bacon slab covering my abs. I'm also adding lean body mass so lifting heavy has definitely been working. I'm closing in on my previous lifting weights. Muscle memory is a great thing.

I've bought new calipers. This one is spring loaded to try to make sure the reading are consistent. The others we had were good but relied on an indicator to tell when you had applied enough force. The spring eliminates the variable of trying to read the indicator when measuring.

Lifting after taking coconut oil for energy has been working well. I carb up after the workout. Still have my fat intake increased although I've noticed more hunger with the lower volume of food. I'm hoping my body adjusts soon as I overate last night, dang cashews.

I'll keep plugging along. Today is morning workout and run followed by a massage in the afternoon. I can't wait.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

98.1 kg Lost so far: 7.6 kg.    Still to go: 7.3 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
