Sizzlingina, woohoo on the drop! Keep sticking to plan like you're doing, because you're doing great!
Leah, I think it's great that you know what you want in a gem (and moissanites are lovely), and you're not letting any saleperson who's obviously paid on commission talk you out of it!
SusieKay, CONGRATS on reaching ONEderland! 199!
As for Carb Day, I am on a diet that is not a low-carb/ketosis diet but is a slow-carb/low glycemic index diet. Typically I avoid foods like bread, cereal, rice, grains, pasta, potatoes, starchy foods, and sweets (aka craving-causing, blood sugar-spiking, quick-burning carbs), but one day a week, called Carb Day, I can eat anything I want as much as I want. I try not to go "crazy" on that day since I have to go right back to slow-carb eating the next day, but if I want to go "all out," I'm allowed (and sometimes I do)! I usually gain between .5 and 2.5 lbs in water weight on Carb Day, because for every gram of carbohydrate that the body converts and stores as glycogen to burn for energy, it also stores 3 grams of water. Because it is just water and not fat, however, the weight usually comes back off in a couple of days and I continue to lose. That's how the Slow Carb Diet is designed. So that's the Slow Carb Diet, and Carb Day, in a nutshell, lol!
Joy,
on posting!
Enola, Oh, I understand about not being able to weigh monthly! I'd be the same way!
You should definitely do what works best for you!
Lovemylife, thank you! That is so sweet!
I feel the same way about your posts!
Purple, thanks! And I'm so glad you are feeling good about weigh-in now tonight!
As for me, my weight stayed the same today!
I was expecting that since I was pretty sore and achy after yesterday's workout, so I figured I might hold onto water.
