Weight Watching Progress So Far

It's been 3 weeks from my last post when I said I am going back to my diet so I'll go back to my below 120 lb weight, specifically at 117 lbs, with the goal of reaching 112 lbs by the end of February 2011.

What happened?

My weight went down on the last week of January by 1 lb. But my fat mass and BMI went up. Not good. Not good at all.

I did not weigh in on the first week of February because I didn't want to be disappointed. I was managing my food intake, yes, but I know I am still eating chips which do not contribute to managing my calorie intake.

But I weighed in mid-week this week so that I know where I am already, how I am doing with my weight management. I was so surprised because I gained weight by 2.6 lbs! I have been managing what I eat and have been going to the gym regularly again. Hmmm.....

But looking at my fat mass, fat % and FFM (Fat Free Mass), they all went down by 1.8 lbs, 2.1% and 4.4 lbs. This clearly means the weight gain I had is not fat but muscles. I am a happier person because of this. :)

Okay, I am not resting on my laurels, lol. I still want to reach 112 lbs but I don't think that is possible now this February. Let me adjust my goal to at least go back to 117 lbs by the end of February 2011. Yes, I have to put in the year. I'm OC like that.

Let me just remind myself that I have to be within the healthy range of my BMI, Fat Percentage/Fat Mass. Right now I am in the mid-range for both but I want them to be in the lower end of the healthy range for my age/height/weight.

I'll be jotting down again my food intake starting tomorrow. I'll be having more of fruits, oats, wheat pasta. I WILL NEVER TOUCH CHIPS AND CHOCOLATE CAKE IN THE MEANTIME.

What is it that I said before 2010 ended? I WILL DO AWAY WITH THINGS THAT DO NOT ADD VALUE TO MY LIFE AND TO MY FAMILY'S AND THAT'S A PACT WITH MYSELF.

I am expecting to be at least 117 lbs again by the end of this month. Discipline, discipline. Eye on the prize. Another thing, I need to tone my mid-section again.

I can do this. :) So help me, God.
