Went over calories by about 500 per day on purpose Saturday and Sunday a) to compensate for a very heavy duty workout Sunday and b) to shake up my metabolism after 11 days of flat weight. This is a trick Northernmusician taught me that goes against everything one would think makes sense, but it totally works - FOR ME. Your mileage may vary.

I was rewarded this morning with an all-time low weight. The trick when doing this is NOT to go out and eat anything you want but to load up on leans and greens. I had 5 chicken thighs, extra eggs and big salads to make up the extra calories and not just empty calories.

I also found out from my doctor this morning that I am insulin resistant which is okay since I'm not diabetic, but since I gave up sugar last September, he said it was the best thing I could have done for myself. He also said that losing this 67 pounds is doing wonders for my health and overall numbers.

Cholesterol is 145 in spite of all the shrimp and lobster I'm eating to lose weight.

Really happy today and looking forward a great rest of the week!
