    Another day, another 3 mile grocery walk. Carried 10.86 pounds home in my backpack. I experimented today with a little BodyPump but am pretty reluctant to add any weights with anything that involves shoulders. 1 wrong move and there goes the rotator cuff.

    I had a blip yesterday, I have decided to add in some veggies and berries back into my diet as felt like I needed some variety - and I ended up eating cookies!!!! Not quite sure why as I haven't wanted anything like that in 6 weeks - going to have to keep an eye on things as I build myself back up with a few more carbs have gone from ZC to aiming for about 30g max - yesterday I ate berries and had a salad with my meat, I definitely didn't get the protein I would normally eat in a day so am thinking that might have been the cause - if this plan makes me binge again, then I will revert back to ZC as I am not losing my good feelings again.

    Need to keep a very close eye on myself

    Half way through August and I am so excited with my plan to downsize! It's working out great so far.
    I had 3 storage units and a condo full of stuff. I needed to down size from a 5 bedroom house with an attic and basement into a 2 bedroom condo. Needless to say, I needed to let go! I had sold a lot before the move, but it was just to overwhelming to deal with everything at that time. I finally got sick of paying to store stuff that I will probably never use. I have been selling a TON of stuff online and I'm so happy; 3 desks, 2 beds, lots of kitchen appliances and gadgets, a tool chest, bedroom furniture, clothes, and more clothes. All gone this month alone. I would have liked to asked for more money, but the goal was to get rid of storage. I had to keep reminding myself that it was costing me more to keep than to donate. That project was my primary goal and by September 1st I will be down to 2 storage units! Hoot. By the end of the year, my goal will be one unit. These are really big units, so it really is a great deal of progress and it's harder work that I thought it would be.

    I haven't paid attention to LCHF this month or my diet, my other plan was to stop obsessing about weighing in everyday. Surprisingly I weighed myself this morning and I haven't gained or lost a pound. With all the moving and physical exercise I just fall fast asleep at night, so no late night drinking and eating has really made a difference. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Thanks for reading and carry on! Catch up in September.

    Hey guys....I'm here. Having a repeat of last month it seems. Sluggish and tired. Somehow got glutened last week. Also my left leg has been hurting and I'm not sure why. I go to the doctor today so I'll try to get all these issues checked on. Then I had the worst nightmare of a road trip on Friday which caused a lot of stress. So I'm full of excuses.

    On the plus side I did manage a P90x3 workout last week and a ton of walking at a concert Friday night.
