Goal........ mostly met! (January 27th)

Calories: well, you know. 1500. Again.

Steps: still waiting until Monday to get rid of this lingering cough/cold.

Measurements:

Huge loss in weight this week. Mostly water, to be sure, but welcomed anyway! I lost almost 6 lbs this week, which puts my total loss from the start of this blog to:

-4.4 lbs

This is significant (though still a small number) because it puts me back to where I was before I moved halfway across the county in late November. Holiday malaise defeated! Now to make fresh progress.

Measurements:

Lost a half inch from the chest, and a quarter inch from the waist. So this puts me at:

Chest: -3"
Waist: -3.25"

The trick here will be to wash-rinse-repeat this new eating pattern. I'll have to consult with my nutritional advisor if or when a refeed might happen to prevent stalls. I've done that before, when doing a cyclic keto diet, but this isn't really that (though I do try to lean towards protein and fat for max satiety).

My goal in January was to lose a pound a week and an inch from the start of the month. The goal is mostly met- I've met it in terms of lbs lost (4.4 lbs lost so far) and I'm getting close to that 1" lost (need another .75 inches lost on the waist, and another .5" on the chest for that). We'll see if the measurements move a little more in the next few days left in the month.
