Today we are walking in a new location, which, like Lake Fayetteville, is a paved trail surrounding a lake, known as Lake Atalanta, located in Rogers, Arkansas, about a half-hour drive from the usual location in Fayetteville. It is just as beautiful and I can see the lake from the trail over the entire perimeter. I think it is four miles, which makes it easier to extend the workout by walking a second lap.
Muscle mass. Comparing my BIA (bio-electrical impedance analysis) from February, with the current reading from my scale, it looks like I have gained a net three pounds. I have lost 28 pounds since the initial reading, so I know I have lost muscle in this process, but have probably started gaining since I am starting to do serious resistance training. I had hoped to do better with gains, but I think this is far more difficult to do when I am always in a caloric deficit.
Fashion report. Despite my previous experience with a pair of shorts purchased at Walmart (a hole tore in the pocket soon after I bought them), I purchased another pair from the same place. It is a different brand, so let’s hope it lasts longer. But I couldn’t keep working out five to six days per week with only one pair of shorts. I also bought a pair of weightlifting gloves which I will also use when I row, because I developed blisters from my last session on the rowing machine. Summer is coming to a close, so think about your winter wardrobe, and perhaps getting some summer items on sale as the seasons change.
Despite the rain, I love my life and it is always a beautiful day somewhere.
