Week #2 has arrived and I'm up to 255lbs. Not quite the number I was looking for on the scale but, as it turns out, my clothes are still getting bigger on me. Now, the quandary; I want the scale to drop as well because my goal is to be 215lbs. However, the other half of the equation is that I aspire to have a certain look as well (physique). My clothes getting bigger as I get smaller is definitely heading in the right direction as far as the physique goes. And, I realize that we can't rely solely on the scale because, as fat turns to muscle, the number will get larger since muscle weighs more than fat. The issue is that, in order to reach my target weight, or at least the neighborhood in which I wish to be, the numbers on the scale have to get smaller. Hmmm.
There's a lot more work to be done here as I fiddle with the balance of caloric intake, exercise, and diet. Anomaly...I weighed in on Tuesday and was at 251lbs. (wonder if I should invest in a new scale :-)
The silver lining....(1) I can see the growing difference (bad pun) in how much larger my clothes are getting and (2) I've actively and consciously aware of what I'm putting into my body and the affects of it. Let's see where we go from here.
I'm one day closer.
