Wow. I haven't posted on here in forever. I am going to try to regularly post and see if I can't see some trends. Since I last posted in July of 2011, I saw a high of 261 something (naked a.m. weight). At the start of 2012 I started working diligently on it and over the course of 5ish weeks got down to 247ish and then I've hung around 250-252ish (with carb bloat weight) since then (the last 5 weeks). I am ready to get very strict again.
I am going to do 800 calories per day. Shoot for 80-110 grams protein, under 20-25 grams carbs and the rest in fat. I am going to try to make sure one of the meals has most of the fat, so my gall bladder will definately have enough fat to make it flush out EACH day. (Since I have had gall bladder issues in the past and they are exacerbated by low calorie diets). Theoretically, if I am able to maintain this sort of eating, I should be able to get under 200 by the 4th of July. That is a size 16. Doable and I would feel a lot better physically. I am going to be really strict and plan to try to be paleo/primalish (not atkinsy - meaning low/no dairy, no artificial sweeteners). I am drinking diet mountain dew today and will lay off of it when this bottle is done. (The first day is the roughest for me).
I am curious to try the 30 day primal challenge and see if it would be something I can stick with long term. I still haven't found the answer. I liked how I felt when I was Zero Carbing, but I have been unable to stick with it (I have tried MANY times in the 20 months).
Today I had:
1pm: 3 egg/ 1 1/2 strip bacon with salsa egg scramble
5:30pm: 3.7oz lean pork loin and 13.2oz english cucumber
later on I plan on having 6oz tilapia.
I feel good right now, but know I am going to struggle later on tonight. I've GOT to get some of this weight off though. I feel 20 years older than I should. :(
