Note, free day 19 Jan 2013.  No exercise or tracking 20 Jan 2013 (Sunday).  Yesterday was a snow day for Lydia…I slept in.

I know, I’m going the wrong way.  Saturday was my free day.  I didn’t work out yesterday.  I didn’t eat all that bad; however, I didn’t drink enough water.  Two days of that, and I should be back on track.

Today is day 10 on my diet and working out.  I’m feeling better, getting better at the workouts, and losing weight (down 3kg…about 6.5 lbs).  I bought me a tape measure last night at the store so I’m going to start recording my waist, neck, and estimated body fat along with my weight.  I’m going to use this online body fat calculator.  I don’t know how accurate it is; however, I used one like it before (can’t find the exact one…I really liked it) but I expect it will give me more data points to show improvement.

Well, I’m down to 110kg (sorry…my scales only do kg and stone.  I can’t be bothered to work out lbs from stones.  Why not ask google to convert for you…. 110kg to lbs and 110kg to stone).  Yes, I’m still doing the biggest loser game on my xbox.  I’m still getting up at 4am.  I’m feeling better and actually look forward to my workouts.

Sorry for not posting yesterday.  I left my computer at work to download a bunch of stuff and…well…just never turned mine on at home.

First off, days 4 and 5 were over the weekend.  I didn’t workout on Saturday.  Saturday was free day.  I don’t work out on Sundays.

Here’s today’s fat secret log.

My weight was up over the weekend; however, I’m not concerned.  The trend is in the right direction.  Also….

Another principle in the Body for Life book was don’t try to chase daily weights.  Take weight for a week and average it.  Then, do the same the next week.  Then, compare those two averages.  Why?  Well, because your daily weight changes.  I can make my weight change +/- 5 lbs by drinking or not drinking enough water, eating a large meal, or having a bm.  Average everything then compare the average.  Use trends to make sure you are going in the right direction.

As an aside, my own history and seeing fluctuations for myself (and knowing how they came about) makes me laugh when I hear people talking about wanting to lose 5lbs or less.  You breathe hard or eat a large meal and you can make that change….  :^)
