As I was talking to my dad this week, he cautioned against weighing in daily… “because you’ll drive yourself crazy.” Sage advice. Probably should have followed it.
Yesterday, I weighed myself to get a preview of today’s weigh in… 271. Woo hoo! Figured I’d probably weigh in at 270.5 today, have 3 pounds at the half-week mark. I was pretty excited. Then I weighed in today and had picked up 1.5 pounds, despite not cheating yesterday and even getting a little extra exercise.
Honestly, though, I’m actually happier to have weighed in at 271 yesterday and come back up than to have just weighed in at 272.5 today. Losing just a pound after being good on this pretty restrictive form of low carb would be a bit disappointing. Knowing it’s a fluctuation up from 271 makes it a less bitter pill to swallow.
I just hope I can be below 271 on Monday. Not hitting that mark would suck a bit.

Hey,
I’ve been following this blog after rambling over from your novel, and I just want to say congratulations on how far you’ve gotten already. It’s also inspired me to look a little more closely at what I eat (though I’m a high-carb lower-protein kind of person).
