Entry Still Fluctuating
Aug 27 2008 10:25


Thought I had this plateau beaten with the all-protein day but I am still riding the fluctuation train.  I was hoping to be in the low 170's by the end of this week because this week-end we're going on a big camping party in W Virginia and I know I'll gain since there will be a lot of eating and drinking.  I can keep the eating under control by bringing healthy foods but I know I'm gonna want to drink beer...a lot of it.  I wanted to be in the low 170's so I wouldn't have to worry about going back into the 180's afterward, but alas it wasn't to be.  I'm just going to go and have a good time and not worry about it.  Let the chips fall where they may and deal with it when I get back.  Yesterday I upped calories in the hope of confusing my metabolism.  I also went to the gym and did strength training.  I'm afraid I'm lacking in that area because I absolutely HATE it.  That's probably part of my problem.  I'm also moving calories around and have started eating breakfast to see if that does anything.  I've never been much of a breakfast eater so I don't know what, if anything, that will do.  We'll just have to see.  That's all from this end!

I think you must be doing a good job because at least you are able to keep control of your weight and not let it get out of hand.  I think this is probably the secret to maintaining and I know you don't really want to maintain but sometimes you have to let your hair down!Hope you have a good weekend and manage to get straight back to the plan again afterwards.  Good Luck!
