Saturday summary

Weekly weigh-ins and summaries are now back to being on Saturdays. I thought for a moment that it might be better to keep them on Monday since my 99-day period ends on a Monday, but a moment later I thought, self, are you crazy, you'll be too busy with school and procrastinate the update until the next Saturday anyway. Which is not to say I won't celebrate my 99 days in a timely manner. I just don't want to be writing up one of these posts EVERY Monday.

Today I am 165 even and 36.9% fat, to which I say: fair enough. I knew something was fishy when I lost 4 pounds last week. I think my crazy hikes with under 2000 calories even those days, were just too much. They probably burned all the fat they could (accounting for about 2 pounds of the loss), cannibalized some muscle too (causing an additional, less favorable loss), and totally drained my glycogen (leading to a water loss that subsequently rebounded). So I'm still waiting for "really" 20 pounds, but I never bounced up above 166.2 this week either.

5-day stats: average kcals/day 1602, 3 cardio, 3 strength workouts, +0.4 lbs.
