Weigh-in #6

I have to refer to two posts back (the fun one with Don Draper) to keep myself level-headed this morning. I stayed the same this morning; lost zero lbs. I kind of smelled this one coming; in fact I thought maybe I'd have the dreaded first gain of the year. I stepped on and off three times hoping to even see the number drop a tenth of a pound; but no. Exactly the same. So okay.

The picture above is a tad grim, but the message is pretty fucking spot on for someone who needs to lose 150 lbs. Just keep walking this path; keep going. Over the weekend I had two good gym workouts and I managed to spend time at a friend's house for Oscar Night and stick with all keto foods (cheddar, nuts, chicken breast) and stay away from pretzels and other random appetizers that don't fit with my plan. I did polish off almost a whole bottle of red wine and felt a little dry-mouth and bloat-y this morning so the 'same' on the scale may be related, but I can't really over-analyze; I just have to shove on.

For March and April, my plan is to keep alcohol consumption to 1-2 days MAX per ten day period. That will allow me to still work in the occasional indulgent night out (or in) but stay on a more level routine on other days. Just checked MyFitnessPal and wow yeah this past week I drank 'something' on Tue, Wed, Thurs, Sat, and Sunday. Yikes. I now measure and track, but that's still 300-600 extra calories every time and I bet I would have been down one pound or more if I hadn't.

So, yes. Same Same. Here we go.
