Sunday. Ahhhh. Love Sundays. Took the kids to my sons favourite all you can eat buffet. I was so proud of myself. Ate too much of course but "no white stuff" so technically I stayed true to my "One-der land Lent/EasterChallenge". I even went to my favourite exercise class at the gym beforehand so I guess I could justify the buffet. The "no white stuff" challenge has really helped me get my sweet tooth and my salty palate in check. Seriously, I think I was addicted to salt and sugar. Lunch was Salad, omelet and fruit salad. I don't even feel stuffed.

Gym class is interesting though. When I resumed my weight loss challenge Jan 1st this year, I couldn't help but notice how I looked because that gym is simply lined with mirrors everywhere. Now when I go, I'm beginning to notice how much thinner I am. I've been doing a lot more reading on visceral fat since reading the book " Wheatbelly". It's the visceral fat that will kill you and bring you to an early grave. So although, I've finally managed to bring my BMI into a normal range and I look and feel thinner, I still need to loose the belly fat. For women, they say abdominal girth should not exceed 35 inches and for men 40 inches...so guess I need to keep on track with this for awhile yet until I get that measurement within range. But I must say, I do have increased energy.

So...I'm looking forward to being able to determine visceral fat with the Tanita, after hubby's birthday in 2 weeks. Have a great week everyone. Keep up the great work.

WTG, @egdw!!! It sounds like you handled the buffet pretty well, and thanks for the info on visceral fat... That's so good to know. With your weight-chart where it is, I can imagine the difference you must be seeing in the mirror. We'd all love to see some before / "during" photos! You'll get tons of cheers... :D
