The Hump

When I ended p90x, I weighed 128, but I also had 23% body fat (started at 27%). Since I didn't maintain weight lifting past p90x (first hurting my leg in the dirty dash, and then hurting my foot), I have only maintained my weight (gaining two pounds here and there) since then, but also gained 4% of body fat. Obviously, not a good thing. It means that I have to keep lifting weights or I just can't stay toned.

So, I have this goal of getting my body fat back down, and am in the 26% range today. My main overall goal is to get this down...BUT, I still know that my weight has a lot to do with how much body fat I actually have.

Today... I hit, what I like to call, "the hump." This is 128.8 lbs. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen this number on the scale, but cannot make this number go any lower. It could be something I eat, it could be that I just hit that number for a moment, but it wasn't "real" weight loss - just water weight or something, it could be a number of things. But I THINK that a lot of it has to do with being on a Friday (just like today) and then not being perfect for the weekend. Well my friends, that is just not going to happen. Somehow, I'm going to make it through this number. Somehow, I'm going to push past it and forever get under that number. I'm not really sure if I can. Part of me wonders if my body likes to be at this weight - but I'm just not satisfied with that, so it's time to do something about it. Look for my update on Monday to see if I made progress or not. :)

If I still have body fat to lose - and I do - then my weight has got to come down with it, right?

So here's to a perfect weekend of healthy foods. :)
