My new toy is here! I paid $28.00 for this Omron HBF-306C Fat Loss Monitor, so I can track my progress. This is important, so that I know that the weight I’m losing is fat, and not muscle weight. The danger is, if you work out really hard (and don’t replenish your protein), your body needs an immediate source of protein and takes them from your muscles.

I don’t feel like I’m losing muscle; actually I feel/look stronger. But that’s a problem too, because you can’t gain muscle without gaining fat. In any case, it’ll be good to be able to track this.

June 26th - 160.8 lbs, 14.0% body fat

I’ve been hovering around 162 for a few days, so it was weird to see another drop this morning. We’ll see if it was just a one-day thing.
