Met my goal yesterday and well, I was 169 this morning! That's pretty exciting. I didn't even really eat much before bed so that's a good sign. We'll see if it sticks to tomorrow.
I Feel Like I'm Gaining
I also checked some measurements yesterday because I could swear I felt some gaining even though my body wasn't reflecting it. Like seriously, my hands are chubbier. I am really noticing. And my arms too. Like when I bend my arm there's some fat coming out of the side and the crease looks much more defined and my butt is feeling a lot bigger too. Plus, my girlfriend said my booty looked bigger and she noticed love handles on me for the first time yesterday. Just all these signs!
Quick measurements show some growth from my new diet (so far)!
I figured, maybe the olive oil is doing what it's supposed to and turning into subcutaneous fat and going other places instead of my waist and belly? Well, even though the measurements I took are only ONE WEEK since last time. I showed that I LOST a 1/2" on my waist, gained 1/4" on my belly (I am noticing more softness on the sides), 1/2" on my booty, and 3/4" new on my thigh.. which on a thigh.. that's a lot! ESPECIALLY in a week. I don't know if my measurements are right on, but it certainly seems like this new diet is working. We won't know for sure until a lot more time passes though.
About Good/Soft Fat
But my sweetie and I were talking about monounsaturated fat and stuff and she made a good point. She understands "good fat" which is basically monounsaturated fat like olive oil to be fat that doesn't turn solid at room temperture, while "bad fat" like butter for exmpale and saturated fats are thicker and harder fats. And that makes sense cuz I was reading about how oils turn into the "softer fat" and that's why it ends up stored just under the skin and goes to hips, and butt, and arms and pretty much all over, while the other "hard fat" is the kind that stores itself among your organs, which increases risk for a lot of bad stuff.
Anyway, I'm excited. It seems to be working so far. I just drank the last of my peanut oil on my lunch, so I have to go buy some more after work today. hee =) Yes, I know how silly I am.
