164.6

Or is it just dehydration because I tried whiskey last night?*

*Never again. Alcohol should be a reward, not a punishment...

It is down to the wire and I have to figure out what I'm wearing for the show. All I have that fit are flare jeans and leggings. Director says no go on both.

2 am = morning weight?

166.6*

*Edit: actual morning weight 166.2

33" waist

Another dawn, another day

The moment I woke, Take 5 (candy with pretzel, peanut, peanut butter, caramel, and chocolate) was on my mind, and I had an intense urge to inhale the whole bag I found yesterday that had been stashed into the box I took to the craft fair.

It's not how I'd like to start the day, but I redirected myself to cream cheese and peanut butter. Still indulgent, but low enough in carbs that it won't trash what I'm trying to do by creating a whole new set of cravings in a few hours.

167. I am reminding myself that I cannot reasonably expect weight loss every day. Need to just stick with it, because genuine results take time. 

Leftovers

167.6 and (TMI) I woke up to a shart.

The leftovers made two large plates yesterday, and I fed an odd bedtime craving with dark chocolate chips from my baking stash. The leftovers are gone, which is good, because my next step would have to be throwing out anything that's left because my body is objecting.

Today = no carbs. Muscle Milk, Slim-Fast, almond butter, and bulletproof coffee only.* A freezer bag of veggies if I absolutely can't get to sleep without something bigger in my tum.

The keto people on Tumblr call their no-carb high-fat coffee "bulletproof coffee." I make a Tempestified version that is half coffee, half milk, plus a a tablespoon of cocoa, a tablespoon of coconut oil, and a lot of stirring so the oil doesn't sit in one bubble on top.**

I know milk has carbs. The other things have a few carbs. But it adds up to pretty much nothing when I know I start throwing ketones at 100 g carbs a day. I got there before Thanksgiving and I'll get there again.

Crisis Averted (Delayed?)

I had a can of beef pasta (don't judge me, it's cheap) in the morning yesterday then nothing until a late dinner with WS, her daughter, and her daughter's hubby. They are all good cooks.

I filled my plate heartily, but didn't have seconds.

I brought leftovers home, but took no dessert (daughter made this fantastic turtle cake role... unf), and "forgot" the Christmas cookies.

166.2 this morning, miraculously.

Today will be the leftovers and nothing more. Tomorrow will be back to no carbs.

5 in 4

165 and I'm about to trash it all. I can get back on the wagon tomorrow, right? Right? 

I've lost 4 pounds in 3 days

but I'll probably pack it all right back on when I go to WS's place for Thanksgiving dinner. Curse holidays.

I shan't bore you

with the daily weights. I'm still basically at 169-170. The bacon pie was worth it.


Tomorrow marks three weeks til opening night for the show. I could probably lose 10 pounds if I set myself to it.

I'm not sure I can.

Sigh

It's "disGusting" and I've already told you where to put your whiny, manipulative comments.
