There is no positive way to spin these (fat) figures, but I will offer a few caveats:
- I was sick for the last week of the month and did no exercise, ate about the same and was generally slothful during this time
- um, that’s about it. I was going to say I had fewer days this month to lose weight, but I also had fewer days to gain weight, but I managed the latter handily
On the bright side, I did manage to remain donut-free and reduced my general snack intake. I obviously did not eliminate it, as the numbers below attest. I did slow the rate of weight gain, which will be a nice precursor to actual weight loss…this month. Yes, this month. March is Weight Loss Month. Slim is in. Svelte is the new black.
February 1: 164.9 pounds
February 28: 167.5 pounds (+2.2 pounds for the month)
Year to date: From 162.3 to 167.5 pounds (up 5.2 pounds)
And the body fat:
January 1: 18.5% (30.2 pounds of fat)
February 28: 19% (32 pounds of fat–up 1.8 pounds)
