My New Green Drink

A new week, a new chance to keep steadfast in my commitment to striving for better health. I was hoping for a boost in confidence and morale this morning - as I hopped onto the scale. The results weren't quite what I was wishing for but there was still a sign of improvement, just not in the weight department.

The truth is that I should be much leaner (body fat %) than I currently am. My weight still needs to come down as well. But my goal really should be two-fold - a reduction in body fat and weight.

I also need to remember that I lost a considerable amount last week. Perhaps more than I should be losing over the course of 7 days. Therefore this slow down may just be a reaction to that prior loss.

I'll know more next week. In the meantime, my resolve is as strong as ever. Some days I feel up, others not so much. But I'm sticking to the program. I think if I can continue to do that I should be okay ... maybe better than okay! :-)

Afternoon Update: I worked out today. Distance: 3.7 miles. Speed: 3.5 - 4.0. Incline: 3.5 - 4.0. Time: 60 minutes, 60 seconds. Warm Up & Cool Down: walking to and from the gym.

Believe me, you are doing amazing. Hey, and it's almost April! We get to experience your Jimmy Moore interview soon.

Thanks, Oct. :-)

I'm giving it my best shot.

I hope the interview turned out well. It's my first interview so I have no idea how I did. I hope it's not a total snooze-fest. Fingers crossed.

Does your scale measure your body fat, Harry?

Keep up the great work.

Harry/JP said...

Good day and thanks, Sybil. :-)

It measures both body weight and body fat %. It's an older model (about 7 years old) but I believe it still works quite well.

Newer models measure other aspects of body composition as well:
