Who lost 6.5 pounds of FAT? That's right, me.

I get one gold star for blogging this week (out of a total of five gold stars)

But I get 5 out of 5 gold stars for fat loss! I went to the rec center to have my body analysis done again. I was so nervous because I told him I have been stuck at the same 3 pound weight range for 2 months which is frustrating. Granted, I have been enjoying more human food lately, and my exercising has been consistent, but not insane, so I'm not overly surprised.

I was so surprised when he read me my numbers. He said I've lost about 4 pounds in the last 2 months but my body fat% finally dropped! It dropped 3.5% since I saw him last and even more awesome is that I lost 6.5 pounds of FAT. This machine he has actually measures fat loss, body composition, etc. and said that I have lost 6.5 pounds of FAT and gained 3 pounds of MUSCLE. Holla!

He told me I am doing awesome and that even though the scale hasn't changed a lot the last little while, I am doing exactly what I should and to keep doing what I'm doing, stay under 1300 calories, and increase the intensity of my workouts just a bit. He said the scale hasn't changed but my body composition sure has which tells him I'm doing everything right.

This is just what I needed to hear. I am enjoying my workouts, my long walks, and occasional strength training but I am going to bump up the strength training to replace even more fat with muscle for the next time I see him. I am so psyched!

I have also been enjoying human food and relaxing a little bit at parties and gatherings, which BTW I have been a party ANIMAL lately! I have been to so many parties and I am still figuring out exactly when my fullness kicks in so I stop eating, but it's so much better than it used to be. I have been so happy for the most part and that is huge, it's a big mental battle for me.

I'm almost ready to make my food blog go public, I have tons of recipes and pictures I plan to update today or tomorrow so stay tuned, I hope you like it!
