Day 39

Yesterday, meals were pretty basic - pemmican and a cheese stick at 7:30, cheeseburger bowl at 1:00 and a ribeye for dinner at 6:00. I wasn't terribly hungry at dinner but ate anyway, to eat with the family. At least there was a lot less salt yesterday, so hopefully I can start flushing that out. When I get too much salt, not only do I bounce up with my weight but I also get cramps in my calves. Not fun.

My weight dropped .6 pounds, to 186.8.

I was talking yesterday about people being freaked out about the day-to-day weight fluctuations. I have to admit that they bum me out a little too, but I know that the general trend has been down and my measurements have been smaller. Just to prove the point to myself, I dumped all of my weights into a spreadsheet and set a column to make a running seven day average. The fluctuations went away and I show a daily decrease, except for the week after I gave up diet soda and bloated up.

Sure, I would like to be at my goal weight right now but I am getting there. I keep saying it but I have to just trust in this way of eating.
