For the month of August:
August 1: 159.8 pounds
August 31: 155.8 pounds
Year to date: From 165.9 to 155.8 pounds (down 10.1 pounds)
I stayed consistently below 160 pounds this month, ending the month at my lowest weight, 155.8 pounds. For the month I’ve lost four pounds, proof that running a crazy amount may have some effect on burning fat.
For the year to date I have gone from 165.9 to 155.8 pounds, a total weight loss of 10.1 pounds, putting me within reach of my official goal of 150 pounds and not much further from my unofficial goal of 145 pounds. Looking at my waistline now I think it’s fair to say I still have more than five pounds of fat clinging tenaciously to my mid-section, so 145 is probably the more realistic goal.
I did not switch to an all-donuts diet as I had feared.
Body fat for the first eight months of the year:
January 1: 19.1% (31.7 pounds of fat)
August 31: 16.7% (26.1 pounds of fat)
