I'm going to log my measurements tomorrow. Because although the scale is going up(building muscle), my overall size is getting smaller...
For those in the same boat as me.
.Lets not get discouraged by the lie the scale is telling. A scale cannot tell a big chunky pound of fat apart from a small condense pound of muscle...3 -

Very well said. The number on the scale doesn't always tell the whole story!1 -

@enyagoboom, very exciting that your last paper is almost done. We've been along for the ride as you finish up your studies...can you tell us what the paper is on and what you will earn when this is all over? Just curious, of course!1

I am in the EXACT same boat as you!!!! I don't know where my head has gone!!! I am leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow; when I get back I need to take no prisoners as I find myself again!! I hope you can jump back in before then, but if not, we'll help each other along!!1 -

lol - i write a lot, sorry. TL;DR, history major. which explains why i can explain things in details as shown below.
The degree is a bachelors in history. I started it 20 years ago and just... things went really bad with a divorce and all that mess and i didn't prioritize myself so suddenly it was 20 years later and I was like wth everyone wants a BA and I am ... 2 semesters from done? Such a stupid mistake.
My final class is on the medieval witchcraze and so this paper is a comparison of three separate trials. Really ugly crap. All my classes have kind of been the worst of humanity - refugee crisis, pacific american relations, early american history. it has not made me a happy person to be around, for realz.
Anyway. the upshot is now that I'm done and will be cleared to graduate, I can get my SPHR (supervisor in human resources) cert, or at least sit for it - the darn thing has a 50% pass/fail rate. Between that, my time in HR, and my degree I am really hoping I can get a solid job in northern VA so I can actually live in the same vicinity as my husband for most of the year (unless he's out for a disaster).
This crazy is (almost) done, but the next round is right around the corner. Thankfully I'm better prepared and we're through the holidays. I've tracked my food every day this week solid, and had done a lot of meal tracks (just not full days) last week, so I'm definitely back in the habit there. Just need a little more time to get the fitness sorted again.
Aren't you glad you asked? lol!!1 -
@enyagoboom, I am glad I asked....thank you for sharing!1

This week hasn't been the greatest for logging or exercising. But it has been great for "getting it all back together" after December. The kitchen is in order and all healthy again. I'm eating much better which is translating to better sleep, which leaves me feeling better and thus getting more accomplished, which makes me feel happier....
This year, I may just skip December.

Feeling good!
Although tonight I had pizza. And it was delicious but I went over my calories. The reason I have weigh in day on Thursday is because Thursday nights is family night- all my family meets at my parents house for dinner, which is wonderful, but the food always gets me! So tonight as usual on Thursdays I ate too much. And now I have the rest of the week to make up for it

Swelling in my legs and water retention
Exercise is increasing my appetite..A lot
Experiencing lots of cravings for sweets.
Overall not an easy week since the previous weekend but....
I never gave in to these feelings. not even once with even a teaspoon of something. I have blood tests coming up and eating a single grape can throw off my bloods results and negatively affect my hormone levels for 4 days...3 -

This is however NOT maintenance. But still fat reduction. Here's proof why:
My weight went down to 91.2 over weekend.
Started exercising after 2 months break..
result = weight went back up - putting back lean mass lost.
Starting challenge overall body measurements 670cm.
Previous body measurements 666.5cm
Current body measurements 661.7cm!!
Total cm loss this week: -4.8cm!!
This is where I reduced this week while not losing a single gram on the scale:
-1cm upper arm
-2.5cm waist
-1 cm middle (belly button)
-2.5cm hip
-2cm widest part of thigh
+1.5cm on ankles + swollen feet (proof of water retention and holding more cm and water in legs)2 -

I’m not really sure why this is so high. It’s the largest number I’ve seen in about 1.5 years. I actually have been totally on track with food and exercise. Strangely I’m not discouraged. I’ve made changes this week and will stick to them.5 -
