Weight Update July 7 2016

I seem to have missed writing stuff down here for the last few weeks.  But I did keep track of my weight!  Here are the June 20th numbers:

weight: 208.8 lbs
fat percentage: 45.1%
hydration: 37.7%
muscle: 27.0%
bone: 10.7%
cal: 2338

The June 29th numbers:

weight: 208.8 lbs
fat percentage: 45.8%
hydration: 37.2%
muscle: 26.7%
bone: 10.8%
cal: 2338

And the July 7th numbers:

weight: 208.0 lbs
fat percentage: 46.4%
hydration: 36.8%
muscle: 26.4%
bone: 10.7%
cal: 2334

I've been feeling a bit bummed out all day because my weight has gone up to 208 lbs and stayed there (although it actually has come down almost a pound during this last week, so that's good).  I've walked a lot in the last few weeks and was hoping to see more of a change than that though.  I'm not really sure what exactly I'm doing wrong and it's frustrating!!!

But at least my BMI is not back up to the obese range (it almost is though!) :(

I have not managed to do the bit of yoga every day.  I seem to have totally forgotten about it.  I also feel super stressed out by life right now, so yoga would honestly be a good thing.  I think I'm going to try to fit in a bigger workout one night a week (so like 30-40 minutes) and go from there, maybe adding in a second night in a few weeks if that is successful.  Then I won't have to worry about remembering something else in my day.

I think I'm also going to keep track of my food for the next week or so.  I have an appointment with my diabetes educators at the end of the month and wanted to run some basal tests in the next week anyway, so bringing a food log would be a good idea, too.  I don't feel like I've been eating badly lately, but something is going on and I need to see for sure.  Of course, it's possible that I've got a bit more muscle which accounts for the weight (but that doesn't seem super likely to me right now, at least according to my numbers).  So let's see exactly what's going on for the next week and go from there!
