Week 4
Today's weight: 151.5 lbs, 38% body fat
This weeks loss: -2.0 lbs, 2% body fat
Total loss: 5.5 lbs, 4% body fat

OK...don't be fooled by the -2.0. I actually gained weight since my last weigh-in! I know why...eating habits. I went out of town over the weekend, and I relaxed my eating habits a little bit. And I was convinced to have some Black-Out cake from Cheesecake Factory on Friday night...I only had half a slice and ate it over several days...but I guess it was still damaging! I really had gained even more, but I'm seeing it drop off this week in .5 lb increments. It used to be that I gained weight gradually, but since late last year I seem to pick it up really fast...But I think it's really just from PMS...Speaking of which, during the week before my period comes on, my appetite increases and I have craving for something sweet. Luckily I don't have any sweets in the house. But I'm thinking about finding something that doesn't have a lot of points but will satisfy my cravings. Any suggestions?

But the good news is that my body fat percentage finally dropped. It went to 39% on the Friday after my last weigh-in, and to 38% by Monday. So I've gained weight, but not fat. So there's a bright side. I'm trying to convince myself that the weight gain was muscle, but I'm not seeing a visual change in muscle...I think that's just wishful thinking...LOL...It's more likely water retention.
I'm still doing either the Step Fusion or the Pilates full workouts 3 times a week (usually MTuW). I try to do it every weekday, but sometimes on Th and F I do an abbreviated, focused workout or none at all. I'm enjoying the workouts so far. The fat-burning Pilates one is like 30 min of cardio and 20 min of Pilates...ya'll...Pilates ain't no joke! I can't do half of the moves, but they say most beginner's can't. I hope to be able to do them all by this summer.
