I'm have been sick with a cold for the last week. Still trying to fight it off. This is a low carb 1000 calorie prior day weight. I think I am like exactly the same weight as Jan 1st 2017, so that is both depressing and a good thing. I feel like I worked on my weight a LOT in 2017 and only managed to stay exactly the same weight. I was on plan at least 80% of the time and would periodically go off the rails and gain a lot of weight (up to 206 pounds at one point) and then "cut" via low calorie low carb to get back down the the mid 190's. I saw a low of ~191-192 last month. I don't know if this is ever going to get easier. I guess it isn't.

Thoughts for 2018... I would like to drop artificial sweeteners 100%. I think this is where a lot of my cravings stem from. I also would like to consistently walk and build up to being able to even run and doing so weight lifting. I would also like to quit with the on plan, off plan, on plan, off plan bullshit. It's exhausting. I would like to stick more with a 4 hour eating window. I have pretty much eliminated breakfast from my life, but I would like to narrow that eating window down even more and try to incorporate some 24-48 hour fasts in there. I've recently been reading and watching videos on fasting and autophagy and am interested in trying to add regular fasting to my life.

All in all, I feel kinda complacent about my weight. Losing down to sub 180 again would make a big difference in how my knees and joints feel. I worry about how much wear and tear I am putting on my body, by carrying around this extra 50 pounds.
