 Weight today: 215.8

% Body Fat: 37%

I have no idea what is going on with the body fat % numbers. My guess is that the number is + or - about 2-3% and so it seems to vary widely. I keep measuring it because I want the first number to start with 2- rather than 3-. Once that happens, then I can target getting it in the teens.

Today has been great. The scale is going in the right direction. I feel SOOO much better than I have the last few days so maybe I am getting over whatever has had me feeling like poop (strong word I know, but that is how I felt).

I will workout today and get my run started back tomorrow (I’ve been off since Thursday) I have the Wakemed Cary Distance Festival in Cary, NC this weekend and I hope to beat 33:24 (my time in my most recent run) so I need to knock out a couple of good runs this week.

Anyway, today I have eaten:

• Oatmeal with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and Splenda (Click here for a great article  about the benefits of whole grains)
• Hibachi Steak (no rice)
• Iceberg lettuce with Ginger dressing
• More Hibachi steak (no rice)
• Diet soda
• 4 cups of coffee with Splenda and non-dairy creamer
• one cup of fat free, sugar free chocolate pudding

That’s it thus far and hopefully I will stay that way. I have been drinking water today, but not enough, but that will change as soon as I workout.

I am pretty pleased about all the oatmeal. I read an article today about the benefits of whole grains and how that affects heart health as well as belly fat. Check out that article here from Yahoo Health.
