Well, that was a revelation. Over the weekend, I'd done the waist and hip measurements for body fat percentage, and it came out at 24.2% - below my "good enough" goal of 25%. Last night I had a massage (this does link up), and was laying there (what else is there to do in a massage?) trying to work out what 24.2% fat meant my lean body mass was - and I came close, at 111-112 pounds. This morning, I thought I check to see how much lean mass I'd lost in all this eating, and dragged out a spreadsheet I'd been keeping my measurements in over the summer. A quick calculation, and now I know. In June, when I first did the measurements, I had a lean body mass of 111.45 pounds. Today, I have a lean body mass of 111.27 pounds. So that means that I've lost, in the past 5 months, something slightly less than 1/5 of a pound of lean body mass. That's astonishing.
Oh, one other milestone passed this morning, even though I wasn't aiming for it - as of today, I have lost exactly 45 pounds from when I got fed up with my weight after the cruise in April. I am at 146.4 this morning. And based on the body fat calculations, every last one of those 45 pounds was fat.
Every. Last. One.
