I realized last evening that it had been thirty days since this project kicked off. Thirty days of eating I have been almost entirely happy with. One unsatisfying visit to Dominos, one campfire dog, a few lesser bobbles. But no blowouts, much less takeout and drive thru food, mostly better choices. And in looking at the numbers, I was fractionally under dropping thirty pounds. Sure, the first fifteen of that was water, but I'm always happy to lose 15 pounds of regulation fat in a month.
So that was the happy stuff.
I woke up this morning and it didn't take long to be PISSED. Actually it started earlier, I drank some electrolytes before bed and they frankly let me down, had two episodes of nasty cramps. Don't know that they've failed me before like that. But I got a little extra sleep, got up and hopped on the scale, UGH, up two full pounds. Biggest jump in weeks.
Let's break down yesterday. I had less cheese at breakfast. I had no potatoes for lunch. Really the only meaningful difference was I had a large tallow tortilla for dinner. If CICO were true, I would have consumed 7,000 extra calories, which obviously isn't the case. If anything I was a little light. It has to be water weight.
Which leaves me wondering, is wheat really that toxic? One 10 or 12 inch tallow tortilla is enough wheat to send my body into toxic shock, to hold on to that much water? Really? Yikes. I mean, what else could have caused it? I have no idea.
Breakfast: 1 oz Ruminao sharp cheddar, coffee
Again.
Lunch: 3 eggs sunny in butter, Alexia hash browns in butter 4 Thousand Hills smoked beef breakfast sausages
New sausage choice, pretty tasty. And yes, I had potatoes at lunch again. If it works I'm going with it.
Dinner: Soup, nonfat greek yogurt with frozen strawberries
Exercise: Nope. I got some movement in with my new steam cleaner, but not enough to count.
97.8
