Week 6

This morning was a bit of a shock.  I weigh myself every day and put it into MyFitnessPal, but I only really count my Sunday weigh in as it's my official weigh in day.  For some reason it's also almost always my lightest day of the week.  This morning for the first time in a long time I crossed into the 230's!  I was so excited I called InfiknitGirl in to see it.  Food continues to be going well.  Steps are down this week with an average of 6100 a day.  This is mostly because my exercise this week has mostly been doing demolition work, lifting weights, and riding a stationary bike.  This results in a lot less steps than walking and climbing stairs like I was doing in the beginning.
I've also changed my end goal.  I started wanting to get thin so that I can go into 40 trimmer than I was at any point in my 30's.  As I've lost weight I've noticed that my body is building a lot more muscle than I expected.  I'm so much stronger than I was when I started this.  I'm going to roll with this.  I'm going to lift weights 4 times a week in my basement.  I don't know if this will add bulk and slow the weight loss but I definitely feel better when I'm stronger.  I've also noticed that InfiknitGirl seems to like this plan as well.

This weeks thin-spiration is my changed goal from thin to strong and fit.  I thought this picture of Adam Levine was perfect.  If I get to his level I might even get some ink.  Although I'm sure I'd pick a tattoo that's way geekier than anything he has.
