A Christmas miracle has arrived! In January! I am down 2.6 pounds for the month. Curiously, this is also exactly the amount I was up in December, but if we track back to December 1st, my total weight loss since then is 0.6 pounds, Less impressive, but sustained actual almost-for-sure not a rounding error weight loss for two entire months? I’ll take it.
The key was likely related to a couple of things:
- Much less snacking, especially in the latter half of the month when I started seeing regular dips in weight
- Frequent 30+ minute workouts on the treadmill. I think my body got a bit used to exercise and may have started burning a tiny bit of fat from it as a result (16 workouts for the month, so an every-other-day average. Not bad!)
- And of course, no donuts
In all, a nice trend and one I hope will continue.
Stats (rolling over yearly stats to this month, but for reference, I started January 2021 at 174,2 pounds, so I’ve got a ways to go just to catch up to where I was 12 months ago, let alone my target goal of 150):
January 1: 180.6 pounds January 31: 178.0 pounds (down 2.6 pounds) Year to date: From 180.6 to 178.0 pounds (down 2.6 pounds) Body fat (year to date): January 1: 23.2% (42.1 pounds of fat) January 31: 23.5% (41.8 pounds of fat) (down 0.3 pounds)
