Last night I had a great night's sleep! According to my armband I had 5.22 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I just sleep sound. I don't think I have had that long of uninterrupted sleep at one time since I started wearing my armband. I actually ended up with a Sleep Efficiency of 87%!

New Personal Best
This morning my scale says
total weight 192.8 was 203 on last SundayNew Personal Best
This morning my scale says
bmi- 31.1 was 32.8
BodyFat %- 44.8% (86.27pounds) was 43.1% (87.49 pounds)
Skeletal Muscle %- 24.3% (46.8504 pounds) was 25.7 (52.17 pounds)
Resting Metabolism- 1604 was 1660
Body Age -56 was 58
Visceral Fat Level-9 no change....but in the middle of the week it showed 8 which was great
According to today's numbers since Sunday I have lost mostly water and muscle and only 1 pound of fat.
I am sleeping better than I have in years and that's a lot to say for me.
It makes having to weigh the muscle loss with the increase in sleep very hard. Is it better to have more muscle or to have a better nights sleep? My resting Metabolism is lower which could be accounted for from the less muscle.
Tomorrow is the last day of the 7 day detox so I will go ahead and finish it but haven't decided if I will be going on it again or not. I will wait and see what happens next week when I slowly add back in enough calories to my diet to get back to an acceptable level of calories. If I gain everything back then I will not be on the diet again. If it turns out to be a great kick start to losing weight I will go ahead and repeat the process monthly till I reach my goal or till it isn't working anymore. I will wait about 7 days after the detox is over to decide what will be best for me.
If it's not to cold outside this afternoon (had a cold front move in last night) we will be going to my sister's farm to help plant the garden. She has horses and the everyone will have a great day. If I were not on my diet we would grill chicken but today I'll be bringing my own raw food snacks.
Everyone have a GREAT day!
I'm the only one awake and debating between going back to sleep for a bit or getting in my workout early. Logic tells me I should go ahead and get in my workout now so I can tackle the rest of the day full on. I'll let you know who wins next time. :)
sleep sleep sleep! I always say sleep is number 1! Of course it's the hardest thing because you have all the other things you want to/need to be doing and if you are someone with interrupted sleep it's even harder (I'm lucky that I get like 97%+ sleep efficiency usually - just a deep sleeper).
ReplyDeleteCongrads on the sleep!! So much recent research says poor sleep habits result in weight-gain that I am wondering if that has been a big part of your problem? Guess we'll never know for sure
ReplyDeletelack of sleep combined with a poor diet and not enough movement. Correct those three little things and I'll be back on the top of my health :)
