Weight Update for July 11

I normally wouldn't be weighing myself so often, but I know my period is coming up in the next week, so I figured I might as well weigh myself now then wait until it is over.  So here are those numbers:

weight: 214.6 lbs
fat percentage: 47.7%
hydration: 35.9%
muscle: 25.7%
bone: 11.0%
cal: 2348

Definitely still continuing the downward trend for weight and fat percentage, and upward trend for muscle, so yay!  I'm continuing to not eat junk food, and I'm actually finding I'm not even really missing it!  I actually feel like over the last few days I ate a little more than I really wanted to, so I need to be more mindful of that in the future (looks like eating lots of fruits and vegetables is actually making me feel fuller and more satisfied!)

Unfortunately though, I hurt my knees at work the other day, and can't workout at the moment (I don't want to aggravate the tendons until they have a chance to heal a bit).  Luckily walking seems to be okay though.  I just looked up what kind of nutrition can help heal a tendon injury, and it looks like a lot of the things I've been eating lately help, like chicken, cheese, avocado, asparagus, eggs, lentils, tuna, and almonds (from https://www.thephysiorooms.com/our-articles/2017/05/nutrition-recovery-tendon-injury).  So right now it's all about staying the course on the healthy eating, and adding more exercise back in once my knees feel better.
