Monday Measurements 11 week update

So, I had company and only did a quick hop on the scales this morning.  Weight was 112.6.  I didn't measure as I haven't been going to the gym so I doubt much has changed.

However, I want to point out that even though I haven't been working out like I want to, I am still losing weight!  So much for the "You will ruin your metabolism" theory.  If after two months of regular fasting my metabolism was messed up, would I still be losing weight even though I haven't really been exercising?  I highly doubt it.  I would also like to add that I eat whatever I want.  I am not following any sort of diet, and I enjoy anything I want to eat within the parameters/times I have set for eating.

I am currently trying to do condensed window fasting which means I eat between 11 and 6 most days.  It's working for me now because Mark is out of the country, so it is just me and the kids.  I may make adjustments once he gets back and go back to alternate day fasting or something... we'll see.

Anyway, I am planning to get back to the gym this week since my cold is gone, I have no more excuses.

Monday Measurements 10 week update

Good news!! My goal for July was not to gain weight. I knew I would be gone for 18+ days, traveling a lot, eating out, social eating with family, my kitchen would be in shambles and we'd have to eat out a lot because of that. I stepped on the scale today and I actually lost a little! Woot woot. Now I need to kick this cold so I can get back to the gym!

And another milestone was reached... my body fat percentage according to MY scale (which is not accurate, but good for tracking at least) was 29.9%. This is the first time it has ever registered below 30%. Triple woot!

Bicep 10.5 (-.75)

Upper thigh: 19.0 (-2.0)
