Yearly health check day before yesterday. Either the nurse didn’t do the measurement right the last time, or I’ve actually lost another 3 cm or so around my belly. Odd thing is: my overall body weight is virtually unchanged; within 500 g of last year’s reading. I was already at a good weight, moderately low body fat, and I haven’t been exercising as regularly as I’d like. I’d expected to have lost weight since last year, maybe a couple of kg of muscle due to less regular exercise, but it seems that I’ve just leaned out a bit and may have actually gained a slight amount of muscle. Weird.
The only change since last year is a very slight tweak to eating over the last 3 months or so. More in line with recommendations for paleo eating, I’ve cut down on my grain and bean consumption (though not cut them out entirely) and increased the amount of vegetables and tubers. Some nuts and other healthy fats to round out the fats from protein sources. Maybe un uptick on the fats, actually, due to starting fish-oil supplementation a bit over a month ago, which I’ve since stopped due to laziness (running out and not buying more yet.)
Well, whatever, I guess I’ll take it. Though, I can’t help thinking that I might have put on a couple of kg of muscle instead if I’d been able to keep my workout schedule as regular as I’d like. Way better than a fat gain, though, so I guess I should quit my bitching.
