Hello everyone, how are you doing?
I am back to share how I did today on my journey.
First of all, the scale went down even more. I know I just share a weekly weigh in here, but I got to a new low today. So that means I am almost down 20 pounds now! I may go up tomorrow since I had a bit more calories than Saturday...but we'll see.
So, what did I eat?
Meal 1 - 9 oz salmon with some butter
Meal 2 - 2 slices of bacon, 2 eggs, 2 cheese sticks, and a little butter.
Macros -- 1,133 calories, 0 carbs, 88 fat, 82 protein
I was a little lower in the calories I originally planned because of two reasons; I didn't really care for the bacon we had and I did get full off of everything else I had.
I preferred the uncured thinner cut bacon we had got from a different store, so will try to get that when I can.
My blood sugars have stayed pretty stable all day too. Even though I am sitting at 106 now; wondering if it is the cheese (though it doesn't have the bad ingredients that shredded cheese has).
Anyways - that's another day done.
Used AI to make the image; just wanted to make an image for my journey series.

So after the burst at the start where you got down 18lbs quite quickly
It's all slowed down just a bit which is ok as slow and steady wins the race and the weight is more likely to stay off
So well done, keep it up

Well I have gone up and down a bit, especially around cheat days....but I think almost 20 is a good pace for a month and a half. I expect a lot of that is water weight still, as I know I am still holding some because of inflammation in my knees.

(Pre) Shredded cheese just tastes off to me, but like you, I know about the bad ingredients. My late mom used to laugh because I refused to cook with pre shredded cheese. I insist on shredding it myself. I don’t care what anyone says; there is a difference in taste (and health).

I never thought of it tasting off, but probably from those nasty ingredients that are in it. Oh really? Well I think that is just smart to shred your own. I just never have because of convenience even though it is not that hard to do it yourself lol

Thank you, 20 is pretty good for a month and a half. Got a long ways to go still though

That is a good point, it is not. Salmon and butter is always good...I'd eat it every day if I could lol. Blood sugar did go up to 120 this morning, stupid diabetes lol. Hopefully eventually that will stop happening
