245.2 (11am)

I am really pleased to see my water weight is down even more this morning. I had a lot of ketosis breath last night and the night before that. I also have been eating a lot of sea salt. (I eat it straight out of the container). I don't want to risk a muscle cramp. I took my dogs to the park yesterday, but only threw balls for them. I didn't do any exercise. I don't expect to want to do any exercise for some time. Not only have my knees been making cracking popping noises, but my throat has been sore for the last 7-10 days. (I need to get my tonsils out one of these days).

My plan continues to be to do LCHF with a higher calorie count this time. I think that trying to be too low calorie continues to derail me. When I do fall off plan, I can't get back on, because I've been experiencing chronic hunger for too long. I was cold a lot of the time, last in March when I was losing weight at a nice clip. I think now that I may do better over the long term, to resign myself to the fact that I can lose slower, but hopefully not fall "off plan". Maybe it would be a healthier way to lose the weight too. I am just so desperate to lose this weight, but what matters most is taking it off and keeping it off.
