Still working it out

You cannot always rely on what the scale shows because there are other factors that can skew what the scale says.

Personally, my weight varies - up one week down the next - whether I eat well or not so I have started to focus more on my waist line as a goal marker. In the past month, I am down almost another inch so I am happily making progress. Now I just need better eating habits, but that's a subject for another post.

The amount of weights I can lift/press/push has improved. Last week I was able to squat over 200 pounds for the first time, and during this mornings leg workout I had my first 200 pound plus lift on the curl and extension machines.

So even though the scale says I weigh only six pounds less than I did at the end of January I know my body fat percentage has drop at least a point or two.

As long as I am losing weight and reaching my goal over time, I feel that I am on track and of course the effort is more than worth it.
