Week 11--In the Zone Again

How low can you go?

I reached an all-time low for my weight, which was especially delightful after gaining last week.

Weight: 138.5 (down 1.5 lbs)
Fat percentage: 26.9 (down 0.1 percentage points)
BMI: 23 (unchanged)

So officially, I’m 3.5 pounds away from my goal weight and I’m tremendously excited.  I’m also encouraged that my muscle mass hasn’t decreased, which means I’m burning fat instead of muscle.

At this point, the challenge is to just keep going, stick with the plan and perhaps even boost my exercise to compensate for the fewer calories burned by carrying less weight.

I’m still using a resistance band to do some exercises when I watch TV. But I’ve also started running a bit. I walk quite often, particularly up the hills along my route. So I may yet become a runner--at least when its not blistering hot.

I’m excited for what next week holds and getting even closer, if not reaching, my goal.
