April Slow Carb - The End!

Well, this is the basically the last day of April Slow Carb, since I will be cheating tonight @ dinner and tomorrow night. I usually don't weigh in on Saturday, so let's call this, April 29th, the last day of slow carb. And now, the tale of the scale, date - spot weight - 10 day moving average:

	2011-04-29	190.60	191.92

	2011-04-03	197.60	195.71

So, depending on how you want to look at it, I lost 7 lbs in 27 days (.25 lbs/day) or I lost 3.79 lbs if we go by trend weight. I personally feel that 7 lbs is closer to the reality. I wish I had done the Total Inches measurements, because I still suspect that some of this is re-composition - trading fat for muscle, which means your weight just shifts, but doesn't necessarily drop all that quickly (the old "muscle weighs more than fat" defense).

Still, it was a very successful month. 7 lbs is pretty good. And now we can re-calibrate and try something new for May. Exact goals to follow soon, but I think I will be slightly less carb restrictive, but more exercise and change the supplements a bit.
