Weight Check Update

Fact is, I am not losing weight. But hold on before you judge me based on that statement. Fact is that I am losing body fat quite good, but I am building up muscle at the same time. I am currently working out in one way or the other for about 35-45 minutes per day. I also increased my overall activity. As an example I am no longer using the elevator at work and rather take the stairs. It’s only like for 2 or 3 floors as the building I am working at has only 5 floors, but at the end of the day the number of steps counts, right!? I was reading health magazine the other day and they had some really cool tips for burning body fat faster. One tip was to try to walk at least 10,000 steps per day. Wow. 10,000 steps a day sounds a lot, but it is not really. At an average speed you can walk between 400-600 steps in 5 minutes. Go for a 30 minute lunch walk and you just added maybe 3,000 steps to your daily average. For many people that will often be enough to bump the daily step volume up to 10,000.

So, back to my weight checkup. I have not been losing weight, but I can feel that I am burning fat. The “love handles” are getting much smaller. The belly is still to big in my opinion, but overall I am very happy with how things have been developing. The combination of eating more fiber and doing a little more workout is great.
