The weighing game
Yeah, as opposed to the waiting game. Heh. So, for about a month or so, I haven't been able to weigh myself as the scale was packed and moved to storage. It being less important than a lot of things, it wasn't moved out of storage right away. However, yesterday it was moved and I was curious enough to poke at it.
Since April or so, I've been shedding weight and it's been noticed by quite a few people. It hasn't been strictly intentional. I'm not actively dieting, for instance. I'm not depressed or sitting in front of the computer as much, so the depression/boredom eating has dropped off. As well, I'm not really having dinner unless I'm actually hungry. At this point, the shorts and jeans that I have from my old roommie in men's sizes 34 and 36 are starting to fall off me once again.
Last night's weight check showed that I had gained 3 pounds in the past month (up to 142), but I lost over 4% of body fat (down to 24%). If I lose 3% more in body fat, I'll actually hit the under-fat range in BMI. Whoa. Still, I would like to hit my old weight of 125. It would be nice to actually fit into a women's size 6 again, though it's actually been nice getting back into a size 8. ^.^
