I did my mid-week "Non-official just out of curiosity" weigh in yesterday. I noticed that I was on track to lose only about two pounds by the time of my official weigh in report. This is of course a dramatic difference from the first week when I lost almost 10 pounds and from the second week when I lost 5 pounds.
I was starting to feel discouraged about that but then I reminded myself that even if I only lose 2lbs this week that is STILL 2lbs closer to my goal than it was last week. Fortunately the scale isn't the only indicator that you are losing fat. I was reminded of that when I slipped on my work pants before my shift and realized that I had to buckle my belt at the 4th hole instead of the 3rd in order to get them to stay up. Three weeks ago I would have barely been able to squeeze into them at the 3rd hole so clearly fat is being reorganized in some fashion.
In the grand scheme of things all this week really serves as is a reminder of an unfortunate truth. One which I was perfectly well aware of but was pretending wasn't true: Diet can only take you so far, eventually you will have to start exercising more frequently.

Woot! Another five pounds down this week! That is good news. However this is no time to rest. Fifteen pounds is a good start but I still have a way to go to reach my goal of 190lbs. :-)

Well well, look at that. I almost lost 10 pounds this week. Yes that is surely all fat lost...NOT! LOL, well some of it is fat of course but most of it will be water weight and some of it will be a less inflamed liver (from not drinking). Still as diets go this is working out well for me. I haven't been ravenous (sometimes I have to MAKE myself eat), and it is relatively easy to follow.
For my next week weigh in I predict a more modest 3-5lbs lost and with that I will be pleased. That is more reasonable I think.

Date Night
Well I have maintained my goal of not eating more than 30 grams of carbs for 3 days now. It wasn't all that difficult. To be honest I was more worried about feeling withdrawal from alcohol and caffeine than I was from pasta and bread. Aside from a mild headache yesterday morning I have felt fine. A little bit of lethargy now and then but I find that if I get up off my duff and move around that doesn't last. My appetite has decreased quite noticeably. I'm told this is typical for many low-carb diets and not normally a bad thing unless you stop eating altogether. The ketone test strips I bought are turning pink, which is an indication that I am metabolizing fat for energy (I won't go into the gory details). These factors are all well and good, but tonight will provide a particular challenge to my will-power: Date Night.
There are a number of different ways this can go wrong (speaking in terms of the diet). Everything from "It's Happy Hour! Beer is two-for-one!" to, "I REALLY want the chocolate brownie sundae but it is too rich, will you split one with me?"
And there are a number of different ways this can go right. I have a supportive partner who probably won't drag me to a pizza joint. And most restaurants usually have something on the menu that low-carbers can enjoy without too much guilt.
