Ok, dokey, so the week I played around a few days with another "diet" tracking method that shall be nameless, I basically gained 2.4 for the whole seven days, even though the cals on both the experimental days and the straight tracking days were not so bad. But the sense of disorder and deprivation and restriction when I didn't straight-out count cals as I am used to (and it's the method I believe is the most accurate and easiest), contributed to (although did not solely cause) just too many cals over time and I gained 2.4 from last Sunday.
New weekly weight is 136. Goal, as was stated last week, is 120.
I don't care when I get there, but have a tentative date in mind of May 22, because that's when I'll have a schedule change again following one I will have on Monday, January 18.
So, that sounds a little complicated, but the basic thing is I'm BAAAAACKKK, and the first thing to do is get control of the cals and start back down to the 120s direction again.
I'm going to do the cal tracking challenges here in seven-day chunks, starting with today (next post).
I don't regret this crazy week (it was crazy in more ways than just diet) but I have no intention of gaining anymore dang weight.
Calorie counting works (for me, anyway) and I enjoy it. So here's to the downward slide starting NOW!
Exercise was not great this last week either, but sometimes that happens. I consider food quantity to be the main issue in weight management (for me, at least), so that's all, as always, that I'll address in this little bloggety blog.
