KateWeight: Slow and Steady Wins the Race! : April 2006

Weigh-in 4/28

Weight: 153.5 (-2) Body fat: 22.2% (+-0) So I dropped two pounds (in two weeks) but my body fat percentage stayed the same. I'm not fazed by the difference between Shane's machine and the hydrostatic testing - the guy explained that they have an Read More

More on the hydrostatic testing

Well, posting a picture isn't working - the html code isn't accepting it as a link or image - so here's a URL that you can just cut and paste to see one of them: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y171/kissmekate02/Picture057.jpg We'll work out Read More

The Short Short Version

I'm sorry; it's been a nutty day (it began with a 4 a.m. ER trip and is ending with a 3-year-old who just doesn't want to stay in bed!) and I don't have the time or energy to do the hydrostatic testing story justice tonight. Suffice it to say that Read More

Hydrostatic Testing

http://www.getdunked.com/ I mentioned in yesterday's post that I was going to be "dunked," which is underwater weighing to test body fat. There was a scheduling mix-up at the gym and it's actually tonight, so I'll report back with pictures (if they Read More

My favorite things

I had a really crazy weekend - work Saturday, an all-night poker tournament - so I was kind of all over the place when it came to my eating and, well, noplace when it came to exercising. The one good thing I can say about my diet is that I didn't eat Read More

Weigh-in 4/15: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The good - I was mistaken; Shane and I actually have two sessions left. I don't know where I miscalculated. The bad - Weight: 155.5 (+2) Body fat: 22.2% (+1%) The ugly - I got a big lecture from Shane. He apologized afterwards for "reaming" Read More

Back from Texas - yee haw!

We just got in late last night from Dallas (hubby had a business trip and since it fell on my Spring Break, I went with him) and are exhausted. We were gone from Sunday through Thursday, and the only good thing I can say is that I kept up with my workouts Read More

Weigh-in 4/8

Weight: 153 (-1) Body Fat: 21.2% (-0.6%) OK, that feels better. It really made a difference for me getting back to the gym this week. Even though I had a few food slip-ups and had to start over nutrition-wise a couple of times, I stuck to my guns Read More

Mommy Guilt

As you know, I have a three-year-old daughter. Oh, excuse me, a three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, she would be quick to correct me. One of the reasons I'm so glad I turned my nutritional habits around at this point in my life is because I've raised Read More

Back to Square One - Weigh-in 4/1

Weight: 154 (+4.5) Body Fat: 21.8% (I wish I could say this was an April Fool's joke, but it wasn't.) I'm on Day 1 again (for the third day in a row). Thursday night I went into binge mode and ate a bunch of snacks. The good thing is that we didn't Read More
