So...nearly a month has past.
Today is a metrics day.
I vowed only to get on the scale every two weeks and weigh every two weeks.
That is an easy and hard vow to keep.
I walk past a scale in my bathroom and at the gym every day.
And I think about jumping on the scale every time but resist.
(Maybe I could apply the will power in other areas of this journey...just sayin'!)
So. Here are the new metrics --
| 28-May-12 | 10-Jun-12 | 24-Jun-12 | |
| Waist | 33.5 | 33 | 32.5 |
| Hips | 43 | 42.5 | 42.5 |
| W:H Ratio | 0.779 | 0.776 | 0.765 |
| Weight | 184 | 182 | 180 |
| Inches lost | - | 1 | 1.5 |
| Pounds lost | - | 2 | 4 |
I'm down 4 pounds and have lost 1.5" on waist and hips since I started.
Everything is tracking in the right direction from that standpoint but likely could be tracking a little faster with a more consistent diet and some added intensity to my exercise.
I was dismayed when I got on the scale because I couldn't remember the metric from two weeks ago and thought maybe I had gained weight. False alarm.
Added an Omega 3 Fish Oil to my regime - Nordic Naturals
Also, found a new blog (new to me) that I enjoy called Mark's Daily Apple. More about Paleo/Primal.
His most recent blog on how to be a fat burning beast was really interesting. For years, carbo loading before races was the way to go...but this gives me pause.
