A strange thing happened in August.
My weight neither went up nor down.
Technically if I go from August 1 to August 31 I was up 0.5 pounds, but my stats for the first and last day of the month are exactly the same as they were for the first and last days in July. On July 31 I weighed 162.8 pounds and on August 31 I weighed…162.8 pounds.
Kind of weird.
I dipped below 161 a few times, hitting a low of 160.4 pounds once, but never quite got to my stated goal of under 160, alas.
It now becomes my September goal.
However, I did run more in August and the nil weight loss may be a result of a little muscle gain. My body fat actually dropped decently over the month and is now at 27.8 pounds, down 2.4 pounds on the year.
And I’ve remained donut-free.
In all, I take these things as signs of a positive trend. Onward and downward! (weight-wise)
August 1: 162.2 pounds
August 31: 162.8 pounds (up 0.6 pounds for the month)
Year to date: From 162.3 to 162.8 pounds (up 0.5 pounds–unchanged from July)
And the body fat:
January 1: 18.5% (30.2 pounds of fat)
August 31: 17.9% (27.8 pounds of fat (down 2.4 pounds)
