Starting weight (7/15/08):  279.8
Yesterday:  264.8  Today:  263.6
Change today:  -1.2   Loss-so-far: 16.2 lbs.

Today I weighed in at the exact weight that I was five days ago before I somehow gained weight and lost it again.  This happens to be, by just two-tenths of a pound, the lowest weight I’ve experienced yet.  Yep, weighed in at 263.8 nine days ago - so in effect, I have made progress of just two-tenths of a pound in the last nine days of dieting and exercise.

But I feel way better than just two-tiny-tenths of a pound.  I feel stronger, peppier, and yeah, just a little bit leaner.  So I’m goin’ with that.  The numbers are falling wooohoooo!

In my netrition.com box the other day were a few mystery packages.  Nondescript foil packages, they contained ingredients I’d never heard of before but just had to have.  See I found a recipe for bread — omg BREAD! — and I am, right now as I am typing this, I am attempting to make my very first ever loaf of bread (low-carb or otherwise).  It’s been rising for almost 20 minutes (supposed to rise a full hour) and so I just went over there and took a picture.

It will be a momentous occasion if I actually end up with edible low-carb bread!

So what were the mystery ingredients?  Wheat Protein Isolate 5000, Wheat Protein Isolate 8000, and Resistant Wheat Starch.  What are these things?  I have no idea.  The two WPI’s look and sorta smell like flour.  The RWS kinda looks like baking soda.  In any case, all three of these magical things have almost no net carbs.

Okay, I’ve been doing other stuff at the same time, so an hour is up and I just put the bread in the oven.  It rose nicely!  The suspense is killing me! 

Will it be edible? 

Edited to add:

It’s not only edible, it’s awesome!  I can smell the carbalose smell a little bit, but can’t taste it at all, which is wonderful!  It actually tastes like bread, homemade bread, woohooo!!!!  Only 2.5g carbs in each slice!!
