Time for the weekly weigh in. I noticed while looking back over the past few weeks I may have missed one or two. I’m sorry for that. You guys have been supportive of me on my journey and I want to keep you up to date as much as possible on it. In the future I will endeavor to do better. On to the numbers.
This week I weighed in at 262.6 pounds. Last week I weighed in at 267.0 pounds for a total loss of 4.4 pounds. Wow. That’s quite a weekly drop. Considering the up and down weigh ins over the past few weeks I’m hoping this means my body has figured things out and I’m back on track to losing consistently again.
My muscle mass was 28.6% this week, and 28.2% last week. In pounds that’s 75.1 this week and 75.3 last week. So a slight drop in muscle mass. Which is somewhat expected considering the overall weight loss.
For body fat I am 34.9% this week and was 35.7% last week. In pounds that’s 91.6 this week and 95.3 last week. So 3.7 pounds of fat lost. That’s a lot for one week.
Which brings me back to a concern I’ve had over the past few weeks as the scale has gone up and down. I’m wondering if there isn’t something wrong with the scale. I like the scale and all but if it isn’t giving accurate measurements week to week it isn’t of much use to me. When I first started I got this one mainly because of the fact that it could handle my weight. Most scales topped out at 350 pounds, just under what my actual weight turned out to be. So I looked for a scale that could go up to 400 pounds, which I was sure I was under. I’m going to keep an eye on things but if they seem to be off over the next few weigh ins I’ll consider getting a new scale.
I’ve been on vacation this week so I was worried about closing the rings on my Apple Watch. Happy to say that concern was unwarranted. I have closed all three rings every day this week. And I accomplished that by getting in 3 exercise sessions a day. Usually two walks and an extra more strenuous one like maybe jump roping.
Food wise I’m doing well. When I fast I don’t feel hungry. I’ve increased my water intake which has helped a lot. Feel much better. I also have made sure to keep up better on my electrolytes.
Meditation wise is pretty much the usual story. Slow but sure improvements mainly in quality. The effect on my mood has been noticeable. Of course that could also be due to being on vacation.
I’ve put in for a few more jobs. I’ve moved forward with the dispatcher job but haven’t heard back yet on the others.
All in all it’s been a great week. I have most of this week off before having to return to work. It’s getting closer to decision making time on when my exact last day will be. I’ve found out on the dispatch job the interview period will be close to the end of the month so I’ve considered working one more full pay period at my current job so I’m not left in a lurch. Also that gives me a little time to talk to people here who work for companies I’ve applied for to see what’s going on with my application or how I might improve my odds of getting jobs with them. But one way or another I’ll be moving on to greener pastures soon.
That wraps it up for this weeks update. I hope you’re having a great day and I’ll see you next week for the next update and tomorrow for the next blog. Peace.
