Weigh the Same Today...

I woke up feeling horrible today. I have a killer headache (there goes my theory), my whole body aches and I'm so tired. Why is it that whenever I work out, the weight seems to come off slower? At WW they tell us that it's because muscle weighs more than fat, but on the Biggest Loser, both Bob and Jillian said that is just a lame excuse. Maybe it's just my body still adjusting. My neck even hurts today... argh. I will for sure do day #3 of the Shred today, but I'm not so sure about the Pilates. I may be over-doing it a tad. Maybe I'll just do the Pilates every other day. I'll see how I feel a little later before I decide for sure though.

I just did a body fat calculator online using my body measurements... 44.9% fat. OUCH! I'm almost 50% fat. If I lose half of that, I'll be in the right range. And do you know what else that means? I'll be 1/4 smaller of a person than I am now. That would be so weird. I don't know if I've ever been that small, well, maybe in 7th grade. I'm excited.

I looked up info about muscle weight vs. fat weight. It basically said that when you're losing weight, measuring the progress by using a scale really isn't a good way, because the scale measures everything, fat, muscle, bones, organs, water, etc. And when you first start a workout routine, a lot of times, based on genetics, you're building muscle faster than you're losing fat, thus the weight gain, or lack of weight loss. Make sense? Good!

It's a little before noon and I just got dressed. I'm unhappy to report that my pants are tighter than they were before I lost 7 lbs. My new bulging muscles must be making my fat bulge out... hmmm
