Moving the weigh-in days to Friday as this is usually my max loss day, so it makes me feel better as I usually add a pound over the weekend
Plus this is Superbowl weekend, so I am going to a party Sunday and will indulge a bit.
Just over 5 pounds away from my final goal and ahead of schedule as I complete the second month, so averaging a drop of 6 pounds a month, which I am happy with and have dropped 2.5% body fat (in my goal range now) and gained 1.1% in muscle mass.
