Weight Update for May 16

I didn't remember what day I last weighed myself, so I decided to do so this morning.  Here are my numbers:

weight: 205.4 lbs
fat percentage: 45.5%
hydration: 37.6%
muscle: 26.8%
bone: 10.8%
cal: 2319

I'm very happy to see my weight going in the direction I want.  But some of the fact that the muscle and fat has increased is kind of weird.  I actually tried a water aerobic class last night, so there's no reason for the increase.

The class I tried was called "Aqua Jog."  You attach yourself to one of the lane ropes using a bungee cord and a floating belt thing. This holds you in place so you don't have to concentrate on staying afloat; you're free to concentrate on the actual exercises instead.

An example water belt.
I've never tried a water aerobics class before; I had a lot of fun.  The class is split into three segments: first it works your lower body, then your arms, and finally your core.  I really felt like you got out of it what you put into it...so if you really worked at it, you would feel the burn. This was the type of class that I wouldn't go to every week, but would definitely go back to here and there.

Hilariously (kind of), the 630G was obnoxious through the whole class.  I'm running a sensor, and it lost the signal part way through (I took the pump off because I don't have a good way to attach it to my bathing suit right now - plus I had no idea what the class would be like and didn't want to risk it getting in the way).  It started beeping loudly; I had to detach myself from the rope to silence it.  But I didn't realize the pump was still looking for the signal; it started loudly beeping again like ten or fifteen minutes later (and I had to detach myself again).  While this was super annoying, thank goodness I brought the pump with me to the poolside; otherwise it would have been freaking out inside the locker room without me around to silence it.  I didn't think of it at the time, but I should have turned the audio off; maybe then the pump would not have been so disruptive (but I don't actually know - maybe the alerts for this wouldn't be silenced?  I'll have to try and see later).
