Net Loss/Gain:                    -  0.0 lbs.

Diet Comment

I didn't expect this result - when I measured my blood sugar before this morning's weigh-in, it was a bit high, which usually means I've eaten (way) off plan - so I must have been good Saturday (not that I remember). I know I didn't toe the line on my diet Sunday, although I started well enough, only to collapse late that evening. Still, no weekend weight gain is a victory.

Food Log

Breakfast
1:50pm: Omelet with three eggs, cheddar cheese, prosciutto, chili crisps, cabbage, mushrooms.

Lunch

Skipped.

Dinner

10:45pm: Miso ramen (ViteRamen high-protein, high-fiber ramen mix) with peas, kale and spinach. Beef jerky (no sugar) and mixed nuts.

I would have rather ended the week with a loss, but then, I guess, I would have had to eat different food yesterday, right? But what? That's the dilemma. Probably could have eaten the exact same foods, but less.

Diet Comment

I semi-expected a result like this today. After a weekend of (much) less-than-normal calorie intake resulted in a big loss, a normal day is going to cause a bit of a bounce. I'm going to try and stay low-calorie today - we'll see how successful I am.

Diet Comment

Whoa! I recognize that that is a big one-day loss. I didn't have much of an appetite after my late lunch, so ate fewer calories than usual, so I got an unusual result. This is the lightest I've been since mid-April! I'll take it.
