Well, this marks the third week of my current exercise and diet and things are going very well. I'm avoiding daily weigh-ins but progress is steady and the pounds are coming off. The earliest written record I have is for 235 lbs but I know I was a lot heavier than that for a while. Now I'm down to 227 according to my scale, and over 5% body fat lost.

My only concern at the moment is that I'm losing muscle. Lifts that used to be easier at the gym are getting tough. My max weights are dropping and I'm concerned that I might be losing the weight too fast so my body has resorted to burning more than fat to make up for the difference between calories in and calories out.

I guess I'll have to take measurements and compare them with last weeks to see if my muscles really are shrinking or to see if this is all in my head.

The only other event impacting my goals is that I managed to do something stupid in Tang Soo Do. I've injured both ankles simultaneously. Bruises. So walking is more of a limp and leg exercises that put pressure on the the foot are out of the question. Hopefully this clears up in a couple more days. That will teach me to land too heavily on my feet until I lose a bit more weight...
