Weight Update for April 10

 Here it is, my lowest weight update in months!

weight: 212.2 lbs
fat percentage: 46.5%
hydration: 36.7%
muscle: 26.2%
bone: 11.0%
cal: 2334

I changed the battery on my scale earlier this week and jumped on it for fun at that time.  I don't remember the exact number it showed that day, but it was around the 213lb mark.  So for me to be a pound less than that a few days later is extra exciting - the last time I weighed about this little was at the end of last summer.

Assuming that today's number isn't a one-off fluke, I have lost roughly 5lbs since January!  That's fantastic - it's 0.25% of my weight loss goal for the year!!!  Hopefully I can keep this up. :)

The best part is that I've done this without using food logs.  I was going to use them at the beginning (and may have for a day or two), but ended up losing interest and not bothering.  But I've been eating a lot more vegetables, especially for dinners, cut back on peanut butter (I still eat it, but try to limit my amounts, where in the past I ate a whole lot, especially when treating a low in the middle of the night because peanut butter went down easier and I could sleep again fairly quickly after eating some), and greatly increased my tofu amounts.  I seem to have acquired a taste for tofu, so that's pretty great - I've been adding it into stir-fries as a protein source, rather than meats (which is also important for trying to bring my cholesterol down!  I'll be seeing how that's going later this week)  I've also tried to have healthy homemade snacks on hand for work days, like muffins made from Rick Gallop's The G.I. Diet book.  All of these steps have been coming together. :)
