Nearly There...

Today's trip to the scales yielded a pleasant surprise.  My discipline the day before had paid off, and I had hit 100kg exactly.  I am now poised to reach my first minor weight loss goal of getting back under 100kg.  One thing I find interesting is that even as I lose weight, my percentage of body fat hasn't really changed much.

Now, I guess to be fair, our bathroom scales attempt to measure body fat by measuring how easily the body conducts electricity, so anything that would change that (e.g. my feet being drier on morning compared to another) is going to mess up the results.  Still, it's kind of a bummer to see the weight go down, but still be around 28-29% body fat.

This afternoon was my first major gaming session where I would be eating primal where possible.  I was expecting a hard time trying not to eat food that I shouldn't, but I was pleasantly surprised to have no cravings at all for chips or chocolate.  I will admit that I didn't abstain completely from chocolate, but at least I did limit myself to dark chocolate only.  I'll be interested to see if the chocolate I did eat, along with the grapes and nuts, has had any effect on my weight...
