218.2 - 214.4

3.8 lbs lost over a 2 week span

I have been yo yo-ing all throughout these weeks. Snacking, Slacking on exercise. But it's nice to see some solid results. Hopefully I can hold onto these.

I bought all my meals for the month in 1 day last week or so. Same old same old. But I need a healthy non perishable snack.

Oh fuck.

Started 220.6 ended

220 - Re-weighed, 218.2

What the fuck. It is one of three things.

1. I went sooooo overboard on my meatloaf last Tuesday that it set me back an entire week.

2. The "Salt & Vinegar" I've been eating daily since like Wednesday has caused me to maintain lots of water weight.

3. By increasing my protein I have effectively decrease the amount of total weight I'm losing and now it's just fat.

I increased my protein so much that I feel that has a lot to do with this. I'll cut out salt completely this week, eating 7 days straight and amazing and we'll see what the results are.

I'll also weigh myself later today to see if the results are any different. Fuck, what a wasted week. I though I was doing so well.

Weird week with results

This was a weird week.

Started at 223 and ended at : 220.6

I got some Whey which seems to be working well. But I made the mistake of going to GNC and paying 25$ for 1 lbs and I can get 4 lbs from Walmart for 40$. Ripoff.

So this is what I was going to eat day to day

Whey + Milk: 200
Tuna: 120

Dates: 120

Eggs: 140
Veggies: 50
Rice: 227

Frozen Yogurt: 100
Nuts: 240

1197 Calories and 91g of protein.

This was sort of a mess though. The Yogurt I bought because of the changing prices of Cottage cheese and it had less protein per serving and generally less in a serving than Cottage cheese. The dates are also that way. I seem to get my calorie content quickly by only eating a handful. Nuts are the worst. for 1/4 of a cup it's 240 calories. The protein is there but the calories are insane. What's worse is that I binged on those peanuts on Thursday or Friday probably eating 1000 Calories worth.

So I also picked up some Protein Bars to replace my Dates for a work snack. This way I am getting almost my required protein for the day but the Calories are increased by about 80 compared to the banana I use to have. And...

Those Protein bars are almost gone. I bought them at 6 for 7.50$ which sucks price wise so I found some 12 for about 12.50 at Costco. 280 Calories for 30g of Protein per bar. That's a lot for a mid mid day snack. So I'm thinking about cutting them in half and having half during work and half after supper. My new meal plan should look like this

Whey + Milk: 200
Tuna: 120

Protein Bar(1/2): 140

Eggs: 140
Veggie: 50
Rice: 227

Protein Bar(1/2): 140

1117 Calories and 107g of Protein.

So even like that I could have the whole bar at Lunch and throw in some Yogurt after dinner and hit 1217 calories. I'll try both and see which works better. I'd like to be on a good cut but, aren't I already?

Current BMR: 1849.61. Which means I'm still on a cut of 650 and from my numbers before I don't even lose a majority of my weight from diet as much as work.

Do want to clearly call out the shit I ate this week. Multiple times I had Chili. My family cooks a nice little meal whenever my brother comes for a few days and I indugle EVERY TIME, And then some afterwards. I ate their Chili w/ Rice, w/ Bread all in one evening. I also ate some Fava Beans(dried, fried, salted), those Peanuts, and last night I ate even more Chili, like 3 cups worth probably. I have however resorted to eating a little Vinegar mixed with salt in small drops. It seems to be working and if I keep the portion small I don't see there being any health problems.

I only workout once this week, Ran home once, did carts at least twice. So idk where this exercise is coming from. In my mind this week should have been a failure.

Anyway! Here's to a new week!

Progress that isn't fast enough

224 last week

223 This week

Fuck. Two reasons I fucked up this week.

1. I made homemade beef jerky for the first time and clearly took that too far.

2. I ate a bunch of those Smiley face fry things.

But what's sad about this is that I still lost 1 pound and that's a complaint to me.

Anyway I'm looking to try the Keto Diet when I get down to about 200. Hopefully that way I can get down in bf%.

P.S. I'm switching this week from fresh banana to dried fruit, more specifically Dates. This way I wont be hitting up the grocery store every 4-5 days and spending money I don't need to.
