I sneaked a peak at the scale this morning and it read 261.5, what?  That means that I have dropped 4 lbs. since Sunday?

My goal was to get under 260 by next Wednesday, with this kind of progress, I think I just may do that.

I was feeling down again yesterday, ready to give up on everything and eat some lasagna with tons of cheese on it.  I had a relapse of my cold and my sinuses are congested and I haven't made it back into the gym but once this week.

I didn't eat the lasagna, instead I ate a chocolate/peanut butter protein bar.

So, when I got on the scale this morning, I was dreading no progress.

Yay!  Because I keep feeding my body protein every couple hours, I am maintaining the muscle fibers I have built in the last 4 weeks, which is burning some of this fat even though I have had a layoff of 3 days from the gym.
