Why I Prefer Measurements

Okay, I'm not sure what's going on.  Well I have some suspicions.  Anyway, my weight actually went up this past week.  I was really bummed out about that . . . until I took my waist measurement.  I weighed in at 64.6 kg.  That's 0.2 kg heavier than last week (just under 1/2 lb).  My waist measurement went down though by an inch.  Last week it was 30 1/2 and this week it was 29 1/2.  There are a few things that I think might be at play.

One is that muscle is denser than fat so at some point there will be a bigger difference in size than in weight.  The second thing is that even though I didn't want to make any changes besides using the shakes for breakfast, I ended up making one big change.  I night-weaned my son this past week, it was overdue.  Thankfully it went fairly smoothly and my sleep is much less disrupted now.  The big issue is that my milk production is still getting worked out.  Also, since I don't need to produce as much milk, my calorie intake requirements will be less as well.  I'm sure it will all get sorted out in the coming weeks but I think it threw things for a loop this past week.

One last thing, the promotion that was supposed to end on the 15th has been extended till the end of the month.  The company I'm working with has more than just shakes as well, thank goodness.  I think I'd get sick of just shakes after a while but maybe that's just me.
