This morning as I jumped on the scales, and noted that my weight had not dropped, again, I began pondering the many ways that success could be measured. The easiest way in this endeavour is just how much weight I lose. Or, alternatively, it could be seeing how my percentage body fat drops. Or, as I found this morning, it could be as simple as going down a notch on the belt.
So, this morning saw me at 99.7kg for about the fourth day in a row. Still, my percentage body fat was down to about 28.2, which is about the lowest it's been since I started measuring it. Considered in the grand scheme of things, that's not too bad. The best bit, though, was the fact that I was able to do my belt up a notch. I haven't been able to use the smallest hole on my belt for longer than I can remember, so being able to use it again is a nice confirmation that things are going the right way.
It's been interesting to see on a graph how my weight loss has progressed. I've noticed a trend over the last two or three weeks. During the week, when I don't get as much of a chance to exercise, my weight is mostly static, and doesn't change much. On the weekend, though, when I do more exercise, I can lose up to a kilo.
Clearly this is indicating that I need to be paying more attention to the exercise I do during the week. The plan is to be going for a walk each evening after dinner, as that is going to be the easiest way to add in extra exercise. I also want to start doing bodyweight exercises 2 or 3 times a week as well.
