Day 24 - Woot

New low.  So, after falling off the wagon there for a few days I've kinda gotten back on track.  Again, my next couple of work days are jacked, but I'm going to try to make good decisions anyway.  Say it with me...  "Don't be a fat fuck!". 

Today's meals:
Breakfast:   forgot.. none for me
Lunch:  Greek yogurt, string cheese, and a couple handfuls of pistachios
Snack: crack covered crackers, Diet Mt Dew, normal Mt Dew, a snack size Almond Joy, a few M&Ms.
Dinner:  Half a pizza boat

I can tell that I haven't been drinking as much water lately as I should be.  Drinking more than my one a day pop goal is cutting into my water intake.   I'll try to concentrate on that over the next few days and get back on track.  I honestly am feeling better when I'm drinking more water.

Looking back over today's food intake and I was probably a bit too low on calories overall.  Seems counter-intuitive but I don't want to get too low.  The goal is to lose 2 pounds a week healthily - not just starve myself.  That's obviously not maintainable long term.  Fortunately, I think these couple days are more the exception than the rule.  I've been eating around where I should in calories most days and a lot of them are coming from healthier options.  I know some have found luck with intermittent fasting or time restricted feeding.  I've been doing a bit of time restricted feeding without really intending to lately.

There are lots of resources out there regarding these things.  Some people take it to an extreme, which is not healthy.  Just remember folks, moderation.  Here's some links for the interested:

I was aware of these concepts, but wasn't consciously trying to do them.  Now that I'm paying attention to what I eat I haven't been snacking late at night so I'm getting all of my eating done within a 12 hour period during the day.  There are occasions where we are watching TV later than normal and I'll have popcorn or whatever, but not as often as it happened before this journey.  So, here's another strategy that I might keep in mind and it might help me keep from eating later at night.  Or, if I do have that popcorn late at night I'll push my breakfast later into the mid morning to compensate.

Twenty twenty twenty four days down, I wanna be sa-kinny.    (lame, I know)
