So yesterday I weighed in at 225 lbs; I believe that is the first time since I was on the way up that I have ever weighed that little. Today is a different story of course. I am back to 226.1 and while I wish that I had held on longer I am not worried. The current COVID Pandemic has been tough & I love to eat. I have been 226.1 for the better part of a week & the trend is overall downwards. This month the measurement of the belly to waist ratio was considerably different and I am pleased with the overall fat-loss pattern that is observable in my body. I see a slow (read: manageable/maintainable) pattern & I am satisfied. Not that I could not (1) put in more effort or (2) achieve faster results but I will stay the course. What began in September of 2018 was an attempt to lose 33.5 pounds (what was then 13% of my body weight) - yesterday I was 25 pounds lighter than the starting weight. I have a way to go yet but I need to remember that shortly after the COVID lockdown began I had slipped back up to 237.5 lbs ... before I caught myself and corrected some self-sabotaging patterns.
