I got on the scale again today and I am now down a full 10 pounds. I'm trying not to be disappointed that total. It is significantly less than I lost the first time around, and I feel as though I know better what I'm doing this time. But nine years have passed and I've had a hysterectomy in the meantime, so there's no doubt that my metabolism has also changed. I also don't have as much to lose, and that does matter.
I should probably explain why I stopped logging my meals. It all boils down to the fact that I have two companies that I run now and January is my busiest month for both. I have workman's comp and general liability audits next week, a deadline to get W2s out, and all the rest of the happy horsecrap involved in year end, and I just can't do it all. I'm pretty sure my brain has not dissolved after nine years of low-carb, or anything, like some of the research would have you believe, it's more like 'hey I am in my forties, I shouldn't have to do so many all nighters'. Something had to give, so it was the daily logging.
If you did enjoy reading any of these logs, I should direct you to my original journals from the years 2000 through 2002 (bottom of that page). Those many many months of detailed logs probably explain part of the reason I'm not as committed to logging this time. At least, unless I run into a snag. There's no better way to figure out a stall than through a thorough analysis of your menus, but doing it for 700-odd days in a row can lead to burn-out, I guess.
Now, I'm preparing to take off to a weekend family (in-laws for me) event out of state. It's not a funeral, for once, it's a 50th anniversary party, so I am determined to attend. When I come back next week, my entries will be more occasional, but hopefully more generally helpful, too. If I run into a snag trying to dump the last of the pounds I regained this year, then I will start logging on a daily basis again. Otherwise, I have a few how-to YouTube videos in mind and I'll try to get those posted by early February.
Until next week!
