Wow. I didn't really do much to keep my carbs in check yesterday, and I was low on protein and way low on fat (which is either good or bad, depending on who you talk to), and I didn't exercise as much as planned. Yet, I managed a very good deficit, and I didn't snack as much as I have been, so most of my carbs were in decent food. Net result is another day of weight loss. I'll take it!
I checked my look in the mirror last night - damn I look good! Relatively speaking, of course :) - there's a lot of fat hanging off my body (I'm still around 15-16% fat), and many changes I still need to make. But nine months ago, the things I'm now worried about were hiding below 20 pounds of fat. So... all in all, I am happy with my look right now!
Today, I'm really going to focus on getting enough protein - the 7-day average is fine, but the trend has been downward, so I need some corrective action. I need to keep my deficit going as well, so I need to either go low in carbs or fat. I'd prefer to keep the carbs down, because I can really go crazy with carbs. I don't really binge on fatty foods, other than during the holidays. Last, but definitely not least, I'm going to do a lot of housework today, and work out, too. So my burn should be pretty high. That will help the deficit.
