Day 27: Feeling positive, feeling strong

I added a new data element to my spreadsheet this morning and discovered that I have lost over 2.5 BMI points this month, down to an even 26.0, which is just one point away from being in the healthy range! While I understand that BMI is useful mainly for epidemiological purposes rather than for individuals, this is a cool thing for me, given that I began the year just inside the "obese" category. This makes me just 2.9kg away from being in the healthy range. Who knew? :)

So it seems that my rich dinner last night hasn't had an adverse effect on the scales (so far). I think the fact that I ate only fruit and green smoothies yesterday beforehand helped, as well as the gym visit yesterday. I went again this morning and worked up a massive sweat: almost 500kcal in just over three quarters of an hour. I felt pretty wiped for about an hour afterward, but now I'm feeling great. Have said all that, I don't think I want to repeat such rich meals. I didn't feel great last night a couple of hours afterward, and that continued until this morning. Who needs to feel that way? Not me.

So, now the computer gets turned off and I get going again on my spring cleaning. Toodles!

Current weight: 74.7kg (-7.4kg, or 16.28lbs)
Current body-fat percentage: 36.2%
Current feeling: Strong and positive!
