The problem with me being force rested from the gym is that it fluctuates my mood. I feel as if I am letting myself down. So I begin to lash out because I am angry and my wife is often the target of my anger due to right place, wrong time. She still stands by me and supports me but I have to do better about telling her why I am angry. I just get so upset with myself that my temper becomes short. Mainly I get upset because of situations out of my control happen and I can't find a means of just dealing with it.
Well after several missed days from the gym and lackluster diet for a few days this week decided today I would weigh myself and for first time (at home) take a body-fat reading. The last weigh-in on Sunday was disappointing in that I went from 229lbs to 230.2. Todays weigh in was 227.2 which was a three pound drop! Was so excited and it lifted my spirits especially considering pain I endured from low back injury and forced rest from the gym. I also obtained my bodyfat reading which a couple months ago I got a reading at the gym which said I was at 24.5% and today the measurement read 23%! a 1.5% drop! so very happy with the check in today!
I won't be posting an update until after the holidays as I will be traveling. So stay safe everyone and have a hapoy holiday season!
