Hello everyone, I am back to share my food/health update for the day. I hope you are all well.
I will start with the weigh in -
Yesterday: 221.2
Today - 219.4
I was surprised that I went down almost 2 more pounds. Yes, I know this is water weight. I am sure my weight will be back up tomorrow because I got hungry later in the day and had a 3rd meal.
I also did not stick to low carb...I want to lose weight but I really don't want to give up the carbs...so finding it hard to stick to anything.
I was low in calories for the day though until I had the 3rd meal like I said.
Macros -
Calories - 1692
Protein - 60
Fat - 82
Carbs - 181
1692 calories is still lower than I had been eating...but not weight loss low I don't think. Guess we'll see what the scale says tomorrow.
Should I keep sharing even when not doing low carb days? Maybe it will help me from at least eating way more than I should.
Image is mine - a Macaw I made....what do you all think? I haven't shared much art lately, so thought I would add it here.

I came here because of @AmbiePam . I think you have given a good example of how I could count my calorie intake. Your food/health update is useful to me because I am on a weight loss journey. Thank you for this.
Oh, by the way, incredible art. I like the vivacity of colors.

I found your post too because of her....and I just track all my food in MyFitnessPal and share here when I can. For me I mostly watch carbs, but calories are very important too.
Thank you, that's very nice to hear about the art!

Well it might if I felt that I was getting support...but if it doesn't interest people then that won't happen lol
Glad you like the art, I made more of these birds. I love Macaws...they are such pretty birds.

@MommyOfEli2013 I think the weight loss progress is interesting to a lot of Mylotters who are also going through it themselves. And A LOT of us are indeed going through it.
I didn't realize it was a macaw!

@AmbiePam Well maybe I am not connected with everyone that is interested with that kind of stuff lol
People might also just be tired of me failing lol
I thought I had mentioned it was a macaw in the post, but yes...it is supposed to be that kind anyways

The calories are not bad. The carbs are a little high but with your calorie number still not real bad

Yes, it probably does help to have friends who support you in the journey. I got to do something this summer though

It might help you if you do. At least you'd be held accountable for it.

If there is no interaction though I would feel there is no point. Some days there is great interaction, other days not much. But I guess some days are just slow here

The macaw is lovely. You can share every day if you want. I will read and comment on your posts.

Glad you like the bird. I made more of them.
Well, just not many seem to care about these kinds of posts.
At least lately...but maybe it is because I keep failing
