Though I am sitting at work, taking advantage of the empty office to take care of some upcoming deadlines, I am celebrating - my independence from wheat! Every time I go up and down my stairs at home I do a little happy dance inside because it no longer hurts my knees. Yippee!
That said, I sure do miss the daily droppage of the early days! But oh well. Every little bit counts! Today I was back down another .8 lb, putting me at an even 213, just 1.2 away from my Sunday morning, pre-slippage low. My body fat is dropping and my muscle mass isn't, which has never happened before when I've lost weight (the many, many, many times I have lost weight) especially with so little exercise (a few evening strolls and a handful of light weight training sessions). Maybe I can have a sweet potato later...
Switching to a LCHF lifestyle does seem to effect our weight loss very differently than other so-called diets.
ReplyDeleteI have lost count of the number of diets I have tried since I was an over-weight kid in high school, and until now, I had always seen losses on the scales, along with constant hunger and cravings, and then the weight always came back.
This is TRULY the 1st time that my weight stabilized without having to count those damn calories and exercise constantly in order to maintain.
I plateaued at a higher number than I would have preferred, but at this point, I really don't care. My rule of thumb? As long as my size 10 Levis fit in the AM, I am good to go!
I don't go near the scale anymore. Gave that apparatus to my granddaughter!
The scale is more for the data than for the gratification, thankfully. Otherwise I would be driving myself batty right now! (And the urge is hard to resist, believe me!)
