<human>: Thought this was going to be one of those months. I do my monthly measurements every 22nd, and April 22 just so happened to be the day my girlfriend of 3 years leaves me out of the blue for a total stranger. I had been on such a roll before that--tracking all my food, working out, etc. 

After that though, I was just...stuck. Hardly moved for the first week, didn't sleep, didn't care what I was eating, but then I started to think to myself "What is this helping?" "Who is this hurting?" and forced myself to get back on the horse. 

My eating was still erratic--ate well for the most part, but didn't track like I had been, but I stated murdering workouts again and pushing harder than I ever really had (dropped my 2.5 mile pace from 7:51 to 6:47, gained ~15 lb on bench). 

Still though, with the heartbreak, finals, job searching, and diet going from perfect to much less so, measurement day was weighing heavily on me. I had weighed myself a few times this month and noticed I was gaining a bit, and while I understood there were excuses, I was still bummed. 

Stepped on the scale today--sure enough, +5 pounds over this last month, from 181 to 186. 
BUT body fat went down from 15% to 14.2%! Seeing that number--especially after the month I've had was one of the more satisfying things I've ever seen, and extra motivation to keep going. 

Numbers for reference: (M/5'10 1/2--25 y/o)

Starting: 217 lb in September, 24.3% BF on February 22
Current: 186 lb, 14.2% BF
