Something weird happened this month.
I lost weight!
True, a large part of it was due to a kidney infection killing my appetite for the better part of a week, which led to an impressive 3.5 pound weight loss over a 24 hour period, but still, I stayed on track even after getting my appetite back. If it wasn’t for a small uptick right in the last two days of the month I would be down even more.
For May I dropped 5.2 pounds. For the year I am still up 0.7 pounds, but that may actually change by the end of June to a negative number. Woo, I say.
I have largely curtailed the snacking and when I do snack, I am sticking to lighter, healthier things like apples and yogurt.
The stats:
May 1: 168.2 pounds
May 31: 163 pounds (-5.2 pounds for the month)
Year to date: From 162.3 to 163 pounds (up 0.7 pounds)
And the body fat:
January 1: 18.5% (30.2 pounds of fat)
May 31: 19% (30.9 pounds of fat–up 0.7 pounds)
