The Hollando Diet

Perhaps it’s cheating to get on the scale, get off again, etc. But after four false [sic] reads, I came out at 173 lbs. Ha!

But that leaves 23 lbs. to go. Today, from 4:30pm-6:00pm, I exercised at that steam yoga place. Bottom line: I typically lose two pounds overnight, and right now, I’m 174 lbs. So a possibility exists that I could weigh 172 lbs. in the morning. 22 pounds… the pace needs to quicken. Perhaps soup for dinner, a morning trip to the YMCA… good things are happening, but the goal is 150 lbs. by Feb. 1.

At this point, an observation is in order. JJ, my pal from work (who had a major career moment today!), notes the importance of using tape measures to monitor weight loss. She is concerned about my possible weight changes as fat disappears and muscle develops, i.e. increases signifying healthy changes and not gluttony. That additional measurement strikes me as appropriate… especially if that “muscle develops” concern ever materializes.
