I’ve lost a whole pound this week. I must admit I’m scratching my head, though. I got in two sets of strength training, more than 2.75 hours of aerobic activity, and my resting heart rate has obviously gone down (what used to bring my heart rate well into my aerobic range is now barely clearing my minimum). Yet, my body fat percentage has gone up. Since it’s my body fat that I’m primarlily focusing on, this is truly frustrating!

If that isn’t bad enough, I have to take a day off, today. Apparently couponing can be hazardous to your health. Who knew? I spent two hours reorganizing them after the preteen dumped the contents of my coupon caddy all over the floor… less than five minutes after I told him not to touch the damn thing. I was fine all day but about half an hour before I was done I found I couldn’t lift my left arm at all without experiencing a sharp pain in my shoulder. I’ve been taking Tylenol, which has helped a little, but I think I’m going to have to get one of the boys to dig out the heating pad.
