Seven Weight Updates

 I meant to come back and post on here sooner, but the month got away from me due to some health issues that a member of my family had.  They are thankfully doing a lot better now.  So I'm trying to get caught up with things, and I'm starting with my weight updates for the last while!

These numbers are unacceptable.  My fat percentage has been going up and my muscle percentage has been going down. My weight is also the highest its been since 2020.  On top of that, I am tired and stressed all the time now (which is admittedly in part because it has been a terrible year so far).  I need to turn this all around for my physical and mental health.

Last time I posted, I mentioned the idea of a seasonal or monthly goal. I've thought about it a lot, and I really like the idea of trying a monthly goal so I can focus on an aspect of my health, and hopefully build off of my successes and failures in order to slowly but steadily create a healthier life. I will continue to count a success rate of 80% or better as succeeding at each month's goals for now.

Unfortunately, as I mentioned, this has been both a terrible year, and a particularly terrible month, so I will take a day or two to decide what I want to focus on improving for May.
