Day 9/365

238 lbs

Slept LATE.... Need to start staring less into iPhone while staying up late.

Black coffee, spinach smoothie with berries, pineapple

Dinner: meat loaf, 3 ribs, broccoli slaw, chicken sausage w/ peppers and onions

Probably too big of an evening meal, but overall good. Good results on the way.

I don't know that evening meal sounds too big, especially given that it was your only meal of the day.

Keep up the good primal work, School of Grok.

Gotta love the way this way of eating makes you feel.

Day 10/365
236 lbs

Day off from work today and did very well.

Blk coffee, 3 eggs, bacon

Small cup of butternut squash soup

Double burger with blue cheese, bacon, onion (lettuce wrapped!)

A few chicken meatballs, apple, almond butter,
Glass of red

Overall a good day because I was out and about all day... Many opportunities for an unhealthy snack... But am very in control of
emotional eating habits right now. Looking forward to the gym tomorrow.

Day 13/365
231.4 lbs.

Have officially lost 10 pounds in less than 2 weeks. Tougher from here, but another 20 is doable in the next 2 months. Really happy with how easy it's been to control emotional eating, avoid beer (while there's even some in the fridge!) and just
stay the course despite not working out like crazy.

Black coffee

Chili, avocado, jalapeņos

Small filet mignon with some potatoes, hamburger with lettuce, blue cheese

Seltzer w/ lime juice

Day 14/365
231

solid day overall. So easy to cruise through a large part of the day without eating, then eat a big one and keep going.

Black coffee

Egg scramble with feta, bacon, avocado

Chicken wings with hot sauce. (mostly just hot sauce, but there was a bit of sweeter sauce on some. Not the end of the world)

1 Beer at night (Yes, I have been trying to avoid beer, but I enjoy home brewing and have had a batch waiting to be tested. Kept it to one tonight. Not a deal breaker)

I love the feeling I get after eating now. I can tell my body is processing the food so much more efficiently. I never feel weighed-down after a big meal. Just good stuff for the body to use.

Day 15/365
230.8 lbs.

Another solid day. Back in the gym to lift. Gonna try to lift 3 days per week leangains style.

Today: deadlifts, lat pull downs, planks

Black coffee

Smoothie with spinach, berries, pineapple, almond milk, protein

Chili w/ avocado, apple stuffed chicken breast

Seltzer w/ lime juice

Day 16/365
No weigh in

Egg scramble with bacon, blue cheese, black coffee

Protein smoothie with banana, almond butter

Chicken with hot sauce, broccoli slaw, coke zero

Organic orange juice

Gym: moderate elliptical 45 minutes

Decent, but not good on the sweet drinks at night. Diet soda not great, but tolerable ONCE IN AWHILE. The orange juice is killer. Really wanted it though... Needed something sweet to hit the spot.

Overall, still under 100 carbs for the day, so not the end of the world, but certainly have to focus on making water/seltzer the primary options

[SchoolOfGrok]

Day 17
No weigh in

Fast until 4 pm

BAS

Tequila w/ lime juice, glass of red

Pork chops w/ grilled pineapple, sweet potatoes

Had 3 beers tonight and some chips and dip (dip was primal, chips not)

Worked out - bench press, dips, planks, walk. Good day off compared to before. Still focused/excited about results in progress.
