So many good things to say about this last month. Yes, higher on the scale a bit. I came in at 116 to 116.4 lbs several days. Not exactly what I want, but it's what I get. For not sticking to my 17:7 intermittent fasting due to travel. IF is probably the root cause. No big deal. In 1-2 weeks, I predict the scale will be back down again and trending lower.
I do believe that there is a hormonal, bacterial, other woo components to staying in my best maintenance range. My health insurance provider and medical team certainly provide advice that would make and keep me obese and binge eating mightily. Glad I can think for myself.
Critical thinking. It's part of being an adult, IMO.
If I show up to do the work and make adjustments from vacation to my regularly scheduled eating window. It's great to test the window out a bit. I don't have much wiggle room for IF or for total intake in calories. My truth and I own it like a boss.
Next up, Low Carb USA 2017 items. Lots of great people, learning, and hope that others will adopt a lower carb food plan to keep from getting sick from type 2 diabetes and reversible diseases of obesity.
Because I would have been an in-mobile, in pain, diabetic, morbidly obese if I did not make the changes that I did back in 2011. Time's going to pass anyway. Daily action for the win!!!
Weight GRAPHS and trending averages. These help guide me in my next month. IF 17:7 or 18:6 for the WIN!!!
It's the persistence and consistence that makes it all happen.
ReplyDeleteThank you for putting yourself out here, it helps me correct myself when I get off my WOE and fitness plan.

Larcana, thank you!!! I think that reporting once a month or so keeps my thinking in line. It would be so easy to go back to the old habits and regain my weight back again. Every day, I'm shuffling... LOL. Thank you again. :)
