I’m a Loser 04.27.09

I'm a little rushed for time this morning, so this entry won't be as detailed as earlier ones.  I didn't stick to my diet very well (yet again,) but I can't tell how bad because I didn't track it for three day, and I'm not going to bother to guess  how much I ate.

I had the body composition done, and while it showed I had lost bodyfat, the results are not accurate because the last time I had one done, their scales were three pounds different from mine, and this time their scales agreed with mine, so I got shorted three pounds.  I'd lost nine, but but the results only considered six.  I think it's reflected in the lean muscle gain.  Last month's test showed 213.1 pounds of lean mass.  This test showed 213.3.  I know I've gained more muscle mass than that.  I can't find the printout right now, and I don't have time to look for it.  Here's the numbers I remember:

• Weight: 284
• Bodyfat: 24.9%   70.7 pounds (last month's was 26.5%)
• Lean Mass: 75.1%  213.3 pounds

OK, now for the regular weekly results:

• Weight 04-20-09: 288.2
• Weight 04-27-09: 282.4
• Average Daily Calories: Way  too many
• Exercise log:  I was in the gym six times, swimming and or lifting.  I walked to work twice and went hiking/jogging at Mountwood once.

All in all, I am not unhappy.  I set out  to lose 20 pounds in 8 weeks.  I did it in 7.  My new goal is to be to 270 by Memorial Day.  That will be my half-way mark, but it means I have to lose 12 pounds in a month.  I think I can do it, but we'll just have to see.
