Rambling.

Let's see. I've been at 30 Day Shred for 12 days now (I suppose technically 11, once I do it tonight it'll be 12). I've been walking the ~1 mile to work and back every day. I've been eating 100% on-plan. I may be imagining things but one pair of pants is somewhat more comfortable than they have been in a while. Things are good.

That's part of the problem of keeping a blog about doing well - what is there to talk about? Nothing nearly as interesting as cries for help, essays on emotional eating, venting frustrations. I guess I could just post once a week with weekly weigh-in results. But that seems boring too. Ho-hum.

I'm not losing a whole lot or very quickly. I am a little disappointed but I am trying to think long-term. I do weigh every morning, which some people would call counter-productive. Better to focus on long-term trends than day-to-day fluctuations, right? Well... I don't know where I stand on that. If I start getting too hung up on it maybe I'll put the scale away. For now it's nice to keep tabs on things.

I am just desperate to get back out of the 200s... It was so easy to get back here, and such a struggle to get out! This morning was 203.2. That's down 0.6 from Tuesday's official count, so things are moving in the right direction. Keep it going, body, we got a long way to go.

This week I'm also being a little more vigilant about shaking up my food intake day to day. Instead of eating one level of points for seven days in a row I am utilizing those flex on some days. I agree with the general principle behind keeping your body guessing, and this recreates the calorie counting tactic of having a target range, instead of a precise caloric target. Of course with the points you are eating different levels day to day anyhow because of the impact of 0 point foods or foods with more fiber or whatever, but it doesn't make that big of a difference until you start factoring in flex. So we'll see how this goes for me.

I'm just rambling, I just felt the need to update. Maybe because my WL buddy who i typically talk to all day at work is out of the office today, so I miss her constant chatter... Well anyhow, I will most likely see you on the flip side of the weekend, good luck!
