    Looks like MFP is being weird.
    Did you by any chance use phone emojis? Using emojis from the available ones in the smiley by your spacebar (Android. I don't know what iPhone's stuff looks like) breaks MFP and eats part of posts containing them every time. Use the ones available from the app edits (to the right of "Reply," above the text box here in the MFP app) are the only ones you can use. I'll come in and post some screenshots in the morning.

    Yes! Something was going on, and I did not want to try yet again and just keep posting like that. lol It very well could have been emojiis, I was using a mac laptop and they have a bunch right on the touchbar.
    ANYWAY

    I had a very sucessful week last week, only issue was I think my electrolites were definitely off. So, I added a bit of salt to my water jug, and a bit of lemon. I think it did the trick , but I havent had to do it since.

    Net carbs have been ranging from 25g-40g or so. All depends on whether I eat that 1/2 bagel for breakfast or not.

    The first week went well. I stayed on target with food and I exercised most every day. Mostly hikes and treadmill jogging. I need to squeeze in some strength training too though.

    Edited: I got my dates mixed up so I kind of lied. 5/7 I had to travel 5 hours out and then back for a funeral and I had a bit of off plan eating. I had some gelato and some pizza. I was passing by a spot with the best gluten free crust I have ever had and pizza is perfect for eating while driving! :)
