Plateau Busting

I'm not sure what did it. Either my body finally got comfortable with the idea of losing weight, the unintential semi-fast during travel, or the 1 day carbo-load feast that came about a week later, but this morning I hit a new low of 213.5!

Yesterday, I put on a pair of pants I haven't worn in at least 6 months, maybe longer, because they were too tight around the waist. I guess it's the dreaded middle-age spread, but that's a topic for another day. Anyway, these felt fine. My pants today are a size larger, and I'm having to hitch them up constantly. Maybe in another week or two, I can go shopping in my closet for the next size smaller pants that I put away when I got pregnant.

Plateaus - Day 23

Well, it appears I spoke too soon. I'm back up to 219. *sigh*

I'm tracking my calories and macronutrient profile. I'm eating about 1600-1800 calories/day, around 80-90 grams protein, and 60-80 grams of carbs, mostly from vegetables and my half of a protein brownie every day. I've had no flour, rice, oats, corn or sugar. I've cut my sodas down to 1 a day, from my usual 3-4 a day. I'm moving more, although I'm not doing dedicated exercise.

Speaking of exercise, I actually signed up for a year's membership at the gym at work, and yesterday, I packed my gym bag, but I had so much stuff going out the door than I forgot to bring my gym bag. I keep thinking I'll do something at home, but I'm having a terrible time getting up the gumption to do it.
