Weight a minute....

So, in typical male fashion, my husband Bruce is down 5 1/2 pounds after his first week on paleo. Actually, I'm very happy for his success - he had gotten a little off track over the holidays and I'm glad he decided to participate in the challenge with me! Makes it so much easier!

As for my weight - I have no idea. I never weigh myself. I guess I shouldn't say 'never' as about once a year I'll pull out the scale and when I go for a physical they seem to insist on seeing that number and charting out the BMI (MOST useless number in the world!). At one point, I was over 100 pounds heavier than I am now and I know how addicting that scale can be. And how it can ruin what was otherwise a good day (I was so 'good' this week, how did I gain half a pound!!!...well, if I'm going to gain weight anyway, I might as well eat ________ (insert carb/fat combo item here)).

I do go by the fit of my clothes and the way my midsection looks - I can usually see the bloat here fairly easily and when the abs become more apparent. And I do have 'the pants' - the ones that probably most of us have that put the kibosh on that whole denial thing pretty quick. I'll probably stick them on/wear them every now & then to see what's happening with the body composition. Anecdotal reports from paleo boards + from others here at CF Edmonton that have done paleo suggest that weight often doesn't change too much, but the body becomes much leaner.
