Went to the doctor's office after work this morning and things are moving right along. Blood pressure stayed in the healthy range, at 118/72. Body Fat, while a pointless measurement, registered at 51.6, once again up a point or so. Weight was 280, down 5 pounds from last week & a grand total of 25 pounds in 4 weeks.
Sadly, I know there probably won't be a lot of 5 pound weekly losses on the horizon. The fast start was expected, although I did not expect 25 pounds in a month. But things will level off. And that's where the real test of my willpower & determination will begin. For now, I am taking some satisfaction in the quick start, and using it as motivation to keep on the program, as I have been.
Oh, and this morning, I got weighed on both of the scales I have been using at the office. of course, they were only off by a few ounces from one another. Personally, I wonder if they were calibrated during the week. But who cares? Still making progress.
I had to get a new supply of multivitamins and calcium pyruvate (fat burner) today. (required to be on the program) I opted to forego the Omega 3 fish oil and the Polyphenol blend, because, frankly, their supplements are overpriced, and I want to see if there's any noticeable difference without the extras. I probably should have started without them & added them in later, but hindsight is 20/20.
