Total loss for February -.5 so far. And I have identified a trend I need to stop.
Normally I have a protein drink after my hour on the indoor bike at night, which is all good.
But what I have been doing that is not so good. Riding the bike, taking my blood sugar reading (type 2 diabetic) so that is a normal part of routine. If under 75, I need a small snack with the protein drink to get to normal ranges overnight.
This is where I am being bad. If I have a half serving of say almonds I am good. But I have been doing a full serving, or some walnuts, almonds and throw in a few cashews. Slaps my side of the head. Really messes with morning numbers. And then am upping my calories about 250 higher than plan. Every night. Hello what am I thinking. So starting today, Protein drink only unless low BS number. Cannot let the sneaky snacks creep up.
Also made some Pumpkin balls as I call them 47 calories, 4 fat, 4 carbs. So have two a day it keeps the sweet tooth at bay.

Total loss for February: I am down two pounds by scale and a tenth by ten-day average. I seem to be maintaining pretty well, but it's still maintaining just above my goal. Scale weight was at goal today, so I'll keep at it to bring the average down, too. That average is still seeing a couple of heavier days, but at least the huge jump a couple weeks ago isn't really in the mix anymore.7 -

Weight/Comment:
Feb 01 - 191.6 Good luck everyone!
Feb 08 - 192.0 I started my new plan in order to figure out what is going on with my glucose numbers. Watching calories more than carbs this time (glucose has been running too low!). Today and yesterday found my glucose too high so I will continue to tweak to see if I can come up with a good weight loss plan without hurting my T2D efforts. I am down 0.1 from yesterday which I will call a normal fluctuation.

Wednesday February 05 - 159.2 - First goal - get back to the beginning of the month weight. Second goal - get back to October/November weight. Third goal get into a lower set point in the 150s.
Thursday February 06 - 158.1- 1st goal reached.
Friday February 07 - 157.4 - I was at 156.7 in October - but I ceased being able to ice skate after November when my knees became sore. Ice skating is a huge calorie burn, so I have had to adjust. Hoping to see that number again soon, I am working very hard at it.

Have never participated in a challenge on here before. So I'll give this a shot. I mostly work nights 6pm to 6am. I also try to stay awake as much as possible during the days I'm off so I can workout and spend time with my son. Hopefully this will motivate me to work out even on days I work and not just sleep!

I have been eating so poorly lately. I have been staying within my calories but just bad food that leaves me bloated and feeling gross. I need to remember that even though it is tasty for a minute I will regret it later. Here's to better choices!!10 -

Just started gradually using more than I want to. Tried it today, tasted terrible. I will have no problem continuing on without it until the end of the month. I have no issues, weight wise, with stevia or monk-fruit-sweetener.
BTW, My Son calls it my version of "no alcohol February" Lol
