Eh, my weight is creeping upwards. Plan is to

1. Keep 17:7 or 18:6 fasting daily
2. Keep a tight hold on my total food intake, Paleo/LCHF/mild Keto
3. Destress as much as possible, non food activities
4. Get as good of sleep quality as I can, as many nights as I can


I do think that he 117's and 118's could be my normal winter weight.
I'm so fortunate to have not contracted anything worse than a very  mild cold last month.

Onward and I record data and move along. No matter what. 

What didn't work in the past

1. Eating too frequently. It's a thing for me. I can't have weight maintenance without some fasting!
2. Tracking food on My Fitness Pal (no matter what food plan, over eating = weight gain).
3. Soothing stress by eating sugar and highly palatable foods
4. Sleeping 4-5 hours a night and catching up on the weekends, being proud of it.

  1. I continue to be a broken record, but you are so inspiring. I appreciate how you stay honest about your weight. And you take quick action when you want results. Many people wouldn't keep posting their weight loss on their side bar.

    I will be interested to see how your plan shakes out.

    My weight is still a little higher because of my inability to be as active as I like. But the important thing is that my clothes still fit. Weight maintenance is hard, but health problems accompanied by weight gain are harder so I've stopped the gain for now.
