 Goal Weight: 188 pounds 

Please leave a comment if you visit my blog. Thank you!

Today's Weight:        204.0 lbs
Yesterday's Weight:    205.4 lbs
Net Loss/Gain:         - 1.4 lbs

This is my daily weight chart since ending the Slow-Carb diet.

Yesterday went fairly well. Missed a snack. Had to go shopping after work, missing another snack, and ended up getting hungry enough to open the groceries and eat pepperoni out of the bag. Which ended up, when I finished the bag, being dinner (I just added a salad, and... done!).

Today is Slow-carb diet redux. All my meals had protein, vegetables and beans. 


This is what I think my eating plan will look like going forward, with or without weight loss - as long as there's no weight gain: Cheat day followed by 2 days of low carb, 1 day of slow-carb. Repeat the previous 3 days. Since cheat day is Saturday, that means Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday are low-carb, Tuesday and Friday are slow-carb. 

More than enough variety. We'll see how that goes.  


Meanwhile, I again succumbed to the late-night munchies (no, no pot smoking here), and had a pepperoni and cheese after-snack snack. I'll be wearing that tomorrow, for sure...
