October 2020 weight loss report: Up 0.6 pounds

The main thing is it could have been worse.

I was trending under 170 pounds for most of the month (yay) but in the last week I decided to bake some brownies (uh oh). I have absolutely no self-control when it comes to brownies. This is now established fact.

My weight edged up past 170 pounds. Then it kept edging higher and higher. Fortunately it dipped a bit today, but I still gained nearly three pounds for the month. Ay caramba!

But! Total weight gain for the year is only 0.6 pounds, which is almost a rounding error. This is good. Better still, my body fat has taken a turn for the better, dropping significantly for the first time in a good while, 2.3 pounds worth this month and down by 1.7% as a percentage. Fitbit still classified me as “overweight” for the last three days of the month, but these were The Bad Brownie Days.

I vow no brownies next month and to not just drop below 170, but to get to at least 165 pounds. Yep!

Stats:

October 1: 169.5 pounds
October 31: 172.4 pounds (up 2.9 pounds)

Year to date: From 171.8 to 172.4 pounds (up 0.6 pounds)

And the body fat:

October 1: 22.2% (37.7 pounds of fat)
October 31: 20.5% (35.4 pounds of fat) (down 2.3 pounds)
