Weight Update for June 25

Wow, where did June go?  I can't believe it's July in less than a week! 

I'm also kind of wondering where my healthy habits went, too.  June is my birthday month; I took my birthday week off of work and went on a vacation with my family, then came home and celebrated.  It was a much needed break, but I ate like crap (lots of munchies over that whole week), and sort of stopped exercising (although I have gone on a few bike rides).  Those habits seem to have followed me as I went back to work.  So here's the damage:

weight: 214.6 lbs
fat percentage: 47.7%
hydration: 35.9%
muscle: 25.8%
bone: 10.6%
cal: 2372

Honestly not *too* bad - my fat percentage hasn't gone up too much, and my muscle is in the same ball park.  

I think the worst thing is that I'm looking at a long weekend that might be promising more of the same, especially if I choose to go to camp.  I'm also not feeling 100% right now, so that's not helping either.  

But I am in the middle of a basal test.  It's been awhile since I've done one and I wanted to see how the afternoon is doing.  As always the worst time of day to do one for me is the evening; I think I might plan to do one on Friday night if this one looks good (and so far it's looking like I'm just making a minor change, so that's great). :)

Weight Update for June 6 + 7

So I weighed myself yesterday, and this is what I got:

weight: 213.0 lbs
fat percentage: 47%
hydration: 36.3%
muscle: 26.0%
bone: 10.6%
cal: 2362

I don't know what's going on (well, besides the fact that my period is expected within the next few days and that on Tuesday I ate a lot more than normal due to getting up early for work and going out for lunch and dinner).  

So I decided to weigh myself again today and see if there was a difference.  There was.

weight: 210.4 lbs
fat percentage: 46.2%
hydration: 36.9%
muscle: 26.5%
bone: 10.7%
cal: 2348

So that's what I'm at right now.  Other than having to deal with a bunch of lows due to being more active (I've been biking this week!) I think I've eaten a lot healthier since Tuesday, so I think that's made the difference. :)
