The most important thing to understand during any weight loss effort is that you have to continue to make small changes to what you do to continue to see positive progress.  For me, the intensity of my recent workouts have left me abnormally fatigued and more sore than usual.  When this happens, I tweak my mid-workout and post-workout routine to include a fast-absorbing protein and carb shake.  There are plenty of pre-mixed shakes available out there, but I prefer to "roll my own" using Gatorade and vanilla whey protein powder.  I've done this the past two days post-workout, so we'll see if it helps.

Given that I'm adding back in some carbs, you won't see the gaudy scale weight numbers that I've experienced to date.  In fact, today's scale weight was 223.8, which is up about 4 pounds since the last time I weighed.  However, the bodyfat reading I got from the Tanita scale was 13.9%, the lowest since we started two weeks ago.  The Bodymetrix machine arrives today, so once I get it setup and take my measurements I'll post the pictures here.  Because I wasn't feeling well this weekend, I once again failed to take pictures of myself, but I will very soon.
