    Day 2 of 16 hour fast routine.

    I am only eating, and making smarter choices, between the hours of 12:00 and 20:00

    It's not that bad.

    But, I will be having steak and eggs for breakfast! ๐Ÿ˜‰

      Can't say for sure, but I think I've lost around two pounds this week, for a total of three pounds.

      Much improved in the hydration department. This week I had like a cup of beverage that wasn't plain water, and drank more water than I have been -- still a ways to go there. Am liking plain water more and more.

      Also discovered -- or rediscovered -- that drinking a smoothie for breakfast is a signficant assist in keeping the carbs low for the rest of the day. (The smoothie is 14 carbs.)

      Cutting way back on starchy carbs. Looking forward to increasing vegetable intake.

      Exercise is still a non-starter.

        I was only joking

          I'm at about 11 lbs down, which I'm fine with. According to BMI, I'm still just barely "overweight," but fuck that shit, it's ridiculous.

          Please love yourself.

            Yeah, that number depends so much on one's muscle mass, bone density, etc. You ride a lot, so your number is way off what the published charts say it ought to be.

              Last week was a mixed bag.

              On one hand I ran a mile. Twice. Took me 12min and 32sec to do it, but at least I didn't stop.

              And on the other hand, I didn't eat as well as I should have; had a brownie one day and chips another day.

                Down at least a pound from last week (scale says 2 this morning, but weโ€™ll see). Thats a 6 - 7 pound loss since Feb 1st. Still not as much exercise as Iโ€™d hoped. But pants are fitting better, and wore a pair I havenโ€™t felt comfortable fitting into for awhile, so thatโ€™s good! Ate steak last night - Steve cooked it outside on one of his stoves - iron pan heated to smoking, added salt and steak - and flipped till the internal temp was medium rare - and wow it was good! I had a baked sweet potato and salad along with it and even 4 ounces of red wine and no headache today. Sweet/carb cravings are much less - and fruit seems to satisfy them, which is nice.

                  I am on a mission. Watch out!

                  No SUGAR! No SUGAR! No SUGAR!

                  I did some pushups today. I will do more tomorrow. I need to get back on the bench and bike.

                  On a mission! lol

                    That's me. Exactly. Always has been, and I hate it.
                    And I'm never hungry at breakfast time, although I love breakfast foods such as bacon and eggs, toast, etc.

                    I fell off the wagon this weekend. Funny, when it happens, it's like "well, I screwed up, so might as well just enjoy eating everything in sight with the understanding I'll go hardcore again tomorrow."

                    Today is tomorrow.

                        Iโ€™ve been good about sticking to my home exercise schedule but donโ€™t yet have much weight gain to show from it. Then again itโ€™s not really a workout designed to bulk me up. Iโ€™m probably a month or so from being comfortable joining a gym. This is really just pre-conditioning of sorts. But weโ€™ll see what happens.

                            I brought my new running shoes to Minnesota, while we house hunt. Also, there is a constant supply of beer, wine, and snacks here so I'm pretty sure I will be going in the opposite direction of this weight loss challenge.

                            But hey, I brought my new running shoes. Might even put them on later this week!

                                          Total loss, 3.2 lbs. This is not going well. Still struggling with exercise issues, and still eating too many carbs.

                                          Crap.
