It hasn’t been a bad week – it hasn’t been a great week, but it hasn’t been a bad week. I’m finishing up a couple of gigs, leading off on a couple more, and still hitting the exercise bike with determined zeal. It’s weird – remember what I wrote earlier about being more toned but not losing any more weight? The same thing has been going on this week. I’m noticing a perceivable change in my general outline, but the stats remain the same. My best hope here is that I’m gaining in muscle mass at the same time as I’m losing fat, so that eventually the numbers will reflect a drop, but if I wind up weighing what I weigh now and my BMI gets back to where it should be, then I guess I’ll take that. 🙂
