It has been a discouraging week. Ever since my doctors visit, I have spent the last 5 days losing 0.2 pounds of net weight. My weight has gone up and down, and the days it has gone up have been especially hard. I called Amy yesterday because I was so worried. She explained to me that during the weeks of liquid diet I had lost a certain percentage of muscle mass, due to my lack of protein intake. Now that I have added the protein back in and am walking/running, the muscle is coming back. And everyone knows muscle weighs more than fat. She said I was welcome to come into the office and get on their handy machine that tells muscle/fat percentages any time I want if I needed to prove it to myself.
Well, I didn't go into the office, but I am happy to report that this morning I had dropped exactly a pound since yesterday!
Pounds lost - 30.2
I finally made it to 30!!!!!!
