p.s. Sunday was a day off - just stretching for an hour, Saturday was kettlebell practice day and a ton of walking - ended up very very tired. Fat loss is slow (very slow) and steady. I like how this is going.
Some habits, like having green tea every day and taking my fish oil in larger amounts, have really stuck with me - so I am very happy with that. I am using fitbit to track calories and to make sure my activity stays up - it's definitely become a challenge with fat loss - I can just see my body wanting to save energy.
