Happy Monday!

I am 2.2 down and I am little disappointed. Here's why:

- in the last 7 days 10/24 - 10/30, I walked on avg of 10.1 miles a day starting most mornings @ 3 AM (I put in 4 miles alone before showering and heading off to the office across the state M - F)
-I averaged under 1000 calories per day and had energy to boot.
-I weight trained on the weekend 1/2 hr on Sat and 1/2 on Sun. I am still sore from my chest workout.
-I expected to see an amazing drop in weight but only 2.2 stinking pounds? (I guess I will take it but I have high standards and based on my calcs, I thought that number would have been 3 or 4 pounds...uugh!)

I am staring down the 200 mark. I am so close I can smell it. Time to step it up further (ha ha, step it up) and embrace the Low Carb High Fat WOE I did early in the game. I will probably transition to a 5:2 - Intermittent Fasting method on my journey from 200 - 185.

I made 4 pounds of this yummy lowcarb high fat chilli Bcoulal shared with FS earlier this year. After cooking it, I placed it into 7 freezer bags so when I get home, I can toss one bag in a pot of boiling water and have it for dinner, my only planned meal of the day.

I still plan on getting up 3 AM M - Th and knocking out 10,000 steps just to start my day. It takes me around 1 hr and 15 minutes at a 4 mph walking pace (I don't want to jog or run, conserving my energy to last for 23 hrs before I break my daily fast)

I got this. The weight WILL continue to melt off. I will hit my goal really, really soon. Maybe I need another scale. A scale that before I get on it, I can visualize a number in my head, and that is the number that appears when I get on. I will call that the happy scale.

Happy Monday. You guys and gals inspire me so much. Thank you.

Keep going mate. Can't give you anymore advice than what has been said here. I know you feel when you think you've done everything to get a maximum loss and then get less than you expected. But you did have a good loss buddy and you should have a ' catch up'.loss due any time now. Just be patient. 😊

Your regimen is impressive. Keep it up! We're about to say goodbye to the 200's. I'm off to get a trick or treating buzz on with some former co-workers. Most of our kids are older teens so we suddenly aren't trick or treating. If my kid isn't doing that, who's gonna bring me Almond Joys? Rock on Ches!
