Dec 30 - March 30 * Protein prioritization and strength training

Yesterday: 1/2
Successful protein goal days: 83/84
Successful workout days: 72/84

I skipped my strength training yesterday. I was too exhausted... and later this morning, I have to put our delivery away at work.

Goals for January 2 through March 31

1) Stop eating whey protein
2) Avoid all snacking between meals & after dinner
3) Get most of my fat from food (limit the added fats)
4) Basically return to the < 30 net carb, high fiber diet I was doing in 2016.
5) Eat less at dinnertime (Starting February 1)

Met all goals: 71 days
Off Target: 8 days

Tuesday: . 21 net carbs, 168g protein & 2500 calories. I did a good upper body strength training circuit at the Y after work with DD#3. One of Kel's goals is to do a pull-up - something that she has never been able to do. She's nearly there. Since I started logging food a few weeks ago she decided to follow my example. She is not obese, but she likes eating low carb. Now that she is tracking and aiming to keep protein high and carbs low she too has seen the scale creep down a few pounds. It's easier to do a pull-up if you have less weight to lift. I'm sure that she will achieve that goal soon.

Practice Plan Thru March 31

Protein: <200g/day
No LC Sweeteners (drinks, bars, sprinkles, etc.)

Wednesday: . 12 net carbs (no mug muffin), 173g protein & 2300 calories. Claimed one more pound loss on my profile stats. Eating less is starting to feel routine. I do find it rather irritating that I am no more and no less hungry when I'm eating 2500 calories and losing than I am when I'm eating 3500+ daily calories and gaining. My brain does not know the difference. My weight is not self regulating even while remaining strictly LCHF. I have to track food or be very mindful of portion control to lose and/or maintain my weight. That's just how it is for me. Weight training at the Y tonight.

No IFing again today. Not sure if I will keep it up or not. I'm doing a bit of reading and digging on getting better sleep and am trying to track down when I do or do not sleep well. I had some cheese last night and slept wonderful.

And just to show how conflicting everything is... here are two quotes:


Yeah.. I'm not surprised, but apparently the internet can't agree with itself...
