Wow

Today's Weight: 257.4

Wow.

Just. Wow.

I'm down to 257.4 today and I'm shocked. I stepped on the scale like 4 times just to make sure. But it's true. I've lost 4 pounds this week despite the fact that I've slipped up several times. I've had 4 days of 100+ net carbs, and 3 days of 30-55 net carbs. Varied of course. 2 higher carb days followed by 2 low carb days. The weight is melting off! I think my body might like the variation. I must be keeping my metabolism hopping since every day is so different. Back home I was lucky to lose 1-2 pounds a week, and I was eating the same thing everyday, almost always under 30-40 net carbs per day.

I told my mom this morning, perhaps it's time to consider the idea of eating a sweet potato once or twice a week. Or maybe adding berries back in, or some higher carb winter squash. Yeah. This could get interesting. I don't want to over-do it though and get tons of cravings. I'm going to see what happens the rest of this week before I decide.
