- I will continue to post this on Monday although I am using my measurements from Saturday. My Precision Nutrition measurement check-ins are on Saturdays. It is too annoying to weigh-in on Saturday and Monday.
- No weight loss this week and I completely own that one. This week started well on the path to reducing dense carbs at non-workout times and ended up with me eating a combo at McDonald’s yesterday. *Sigh*. I don’t know what is wrong with me sometimes!
- This is a new month and a new day. I’m still at 197.5 and I want to hit my quarterly goal of 185 by March 12th. It is totally do-able if I fly right the next month and a half.
- I got my body fat measured for the PN program. I had to find someone to do a 7-site skinfold test which is not necessarily the most accurate way to measure but if someone is skilled with the calipers it can be as much as 98% accurate. I think it has to be a heckuva lot more accurate than that stupid Tanita scale that I have at home. That thing put me at 44% even after a 20lb weight loss! Since I carry most of my weight in my bottom half that method of testing is bound to overestimate me.
- My caliper test body fat came in at 29% which was absolutely not as bad as I thought it would be. There is still much work to be done though!
- Even if this number is not accurate, a downward trend is the major focus. I expect it to decrease throughout the 6-months of the PN program.
- My ultimate body fat goal is 20% which is considered athletic. As a former couch potato, to ever “officially” have an athletic body would be sweet!
- I don’t feel like I’m working as hard as I can fitness-wise. I’ve been leaving energy on the table during my workouts and that’s not my style. I feel like there is this script in my head that goes something like “I’m bigger now so it is OK to not push myself that hard”. “I’m a big girl…I should be out of breath…I should take a break…” My goal this month is to stop working at 85% and give 100% again. Size has nothing to do with effort!

I hate when I’m moving along well with my eating and then have a major brain fart. What’s worse is, it usually happens the night before my weigh-in…what’s up with that? LOL
I’m with you on the workouts – I absolutely give 100% on my c25k days, but other days I’ve been working out just to say I’ve worked out. I break a sweat, but I’ve been leaving energy on the table (love that phrase). I’ve got to get back to my intense workouts – all the time.
ALWAYS before weigh-in day…and I know the sodium makes me retain water so it takes 2-3 days to get it out of my system SMH.
