I couldn’t stop eating last night after a drop during the week, and was up half a pound this morning. It’s fine - I woke up hungry this morning, and I know my metabolism is humming along. @simo74 made the point yesterday in my log, when I noted that I’ve been at the same weight since mid-April, that I’ve been adding muscle. He’s right. I’m after both leaner and stronger, but it’s hard to serve both masters at the same time, at least as a female who turned 60 last month. Yesterday @T3hPwnisher mentioned “keep the goal the goal” again, and it caught my attention relative to my own progress or lack thereof.
So this morning I read through my posts in this thread, and discovered that in fact I have done pretty well at keeping the goal the goal, though I will fall well short of the 20lb loss I hoped for at the beginning.
At the start:
And then April 8th, changing up the workouts as planned in the beginning (April 1 was my loose plan for this at the start):
And voila, the April change from weight loss to muscle gain. I’m getting ready to lift, and will be using these, which are new. This is the third such purchase I’ve had to make since the beginning of April. Next will have to be a barbell, because DB’s will only cut it for so long.
