Diet Update

We splurged this week and bought a new scale, so I'm hoping that my measurements are a little more accurate or at least a little more consistant. Actually my wife bought me a new scale that I had pointed out to her Mom. It was a very nice suprise. It has the ability to measure your body fat percentage by sending a small current and timing how long it takes to go from one foot to the other.

Sunday morning I weighed in at 189. Woo Hoo!!, I've finally broken in to the 180's. I have been waiting for this for a long time. I now have only 4 more pounds to lose to attain my original goal.
I haven't weighed this low since before I got married. The scale also told me that I have 15.5% body fat and 62.5% water. Clearly these aren't incredibly accurate but they at least give me some idea of where I'm at.

Looking at myself now, I don't really think that 185 is going to be the end all as far as goals for myself. I still have a bit of fat to lose although I look much better than I did. I will probably have to make it into the low 180's before I will be totally satisfied.

Here's hoping for another good week! I'm still on pace to be at 185 by Christmas, so hopefully I can continue to do well.
