    Weight Goal for the Month: It would be nice to hit 180. I’m new to this pace of loss, so this is a wild guess of what is possible. When doing CICO a few years ago I would barely lose 4 lbs a month on a good month.

    Today’s Weight: 184

    Today’s Exercise completed (calories burned if desired): Walked about 3 or 4 miles

    Hours slept: roughly 7 hours

    Description/Photo of Meals consumed along with times and calorie count (if desired, not necessary)

    Two nights ago I felt jittery at bedtime, but last night was fine. I feel like my blood pressure is low when I eat this way, but my body is adapting.

    Yesterday’s meal is from the Whole Foods buffet. I ended up not eating the shredded chicken because I was full. The lower right corner is cauliflower gratin.s641nh7kawia.jpg

    Your thoughts/comments on the day: Today was ok…food wise it was great…stuck with OMAD, ate my little heart out, but have been SO emotional from TOM and ended up in a big fight with Ced and said some hurtful things – it wasn’t that I wasn’t truly feeling that at the time but it’s crazy hormone brain, and it’s still bothering me come Monday morning 

    Your thoughts/comments on the day: Today was fine as well…Ced didn’t come over, which is just exacerbated my anxiety over the fight the day before…we texted all day, but the weather was super crappy with like 50 MPH wind gusts so driving wasn’t fun (I went out twice so I know it was rough).

    Thoughts: I am all caught up on my MM posts from the weekend, but am so not happy with the results. This weekend was very carb heavy and the pounds just added on. I don't know what to say at this point.

    It was a good weekend. On Saturdays I wait until after my daughter’s art class to eat. Walking to class and back is about 1.5 miles. We then walked to the bus for another park visit, which was about another 1.5 miles round trip. The weather here is beautiful. Sunday was also a good day with lots of walking. I’m feeling better about eating home cooked meals for economic and health reasons.
