Nothingness

Day Twenty Four

I am completely baffled.  No movement in either direction today.  Exactly the same number.  So we have two weeks of crazy fast loss due to water depletion, and now ten days of nothing.  I truly do not believe that there are so many stray carbs hidden in what I've been eating to stall like this.  It may be that there are some.  Also, it may be that fake sugar is a problem.  I don't eat a lot of it - jello, an occasional zero sugar soda, one pint of Nicks.  But I'm so fat that I truly believe that any obstacle shouldn't last this long, not when I'm eating reasonably.

So it's experiment time.  One thing I think I may need to do, strangely, is eat more.  I should try and figure out the calories on what I take in, it may be that it's too low, though that would be a little surprising.  Also, more protein.  I think I may bump the allowed carbs slightly, though I do need to read up on the latest when it comes to eating carbs and fat together.  It may be that I need to go back to 2MAD and shrink my eating window.  I don't think that would be super hard since I don't eat that much for breakfast.  And of course I need to exercise.

Something has to give, and what that something is, is this plateau.

Breakfast:  CF sausage links (0), coffee (0)

As mentioned, I really like CF sausage.  I think the weather is going to work to get out for a restock this weekend, which is good, since I'll be out of eggs and sausage and working on my last package of bacon.

Lunch:  Soup (10), pickle (1), 2x McDoubles plain no bun (2)

Had a prelunch McSnack, part of the mission to eat a little more, more protein.  Did the job.

Dinner: 3 eggs (2) poached in leftover pasta sauce (7) w parm (1), 12 oz Miller Lite (3), Cabot extra sharp cheddar (1), SF lime jello (0)

It's funny, I had an after work social event.  Passed on the mexican food bar (which in all honesty I should not have) and finally left about 7:30.  I had thoughts of just getting some takeout or drive thru food but absolutely nothing sounded good except BBQ and we don't have a convenient BBQ place in this town.  So I went home and had eggs again.

Exercise:  Nope.  Frustrating.  Was in bed last night on time, could not shut down the brain.  Very tired when I woke up and clearly needed more sleep.

Day totals:  $4.02 spent,  27 g carb, success I guess

76.6
