No miracle weight loss at the end of the month. Or year. Or at all!
Yes, December was a bad month. I snacked and snacked and even as I type this around 8 a.m. I can hear the people upstairs banging and thumping around, and I have definitely turned to snacks to help manage the stress their constant noise is causing. But I know I can do better and be more disciplined, so I remain committed to my 150 pound weight loss goal.
The good news is that I am still down a respectable amount for the year, as I started at 182.8 pounds, meaning despite the weight gain this month, I am still down 17.3 pounds for the year, which ain’t nothing.
But at one point I was at 157.3 pounds and was so close to hitting my goal. Sad trombone.
Here’s to (early) 2023 being when I actually hit that goal! Or else. Or else I won’t.
But I will!
Weight: January 1, 2022: 182.8 pounds Current: 165.5 pounds Year to date: Down 17.3 pounds December 1: 160.9 pounds December 31: 165.5 pounds (up 4.6 pounds) Body fat: NOTE: The Garmin scale is calculating my body fat differently, or something, because it has it much higher than the Fitbit scale ever did. Oddly, this means for the year to date, my overall body fat is...exactly the same. Garmin also doesn't convert your body fat percentage into weight, so I had to do this myself. As a result and assuming I did the math right (always questionable), I only shed about four pounds of body fat for the entire year, despite dropping 17.3 pounds overall. Did I lose 14 pounds of muscle? Of course not. We'll see how this stat plays out in 2023 with just the Garmin scale being used for weight measurement. January 1: 23% (42.1 pounds of fat) November 30: 23% (38 pounds of fat--down 4.2 pounds)
