Middle of November

I bought a new scale, it reported higher than my dial scale....or maybe I could just read it.  Either way I am donw about 5 lbs since buying it, putting me at about ~240 on Sunday evening (November 11).

Still eating well, aiming for 5 cheat days this month, and am so far 100% on track.

Not drinking as much green tea as I have told myself I would, but haven't eliminated it completely.  Not an everyday thing, but a several times a week thing right now.

Calories are on track.  They end either a little above, or a lot below my goal of ~1900.

I am not eating as many salads as I was, but I am still eating way more raw vegetables, using them as work snack food in the afternoon.

My resistance training has been pretty lack luster.  my left elbow is acting up, making fighting and one handed swings nearly impossible.  I am however able to do two handed swings without issue, so I will start doing more of those.  Put out 60 last night.

I have been in bed 10:30-11 most nights, some nights a little earlier.  Still need to work on that right now.
Not much else happening out this way.

Monday, 2 down.

First things first.

Scale reported ~8lbs down after eating well for a couple of weeks.  Definetely not 8lbs of fot or 8lbs of muscle, but more likely a loss of some of both combined with my body coming back into equilibrium in terms of water and other factors.

I do think my pants are fitting better today.

Last week I set out some goals to follow for the week with metrics

 

Goals over the last week were good

•  Drink green tea at least once per day: Missed one day last week
• Stop buying baked goods: Induldged in junk and was over calories on Sunday 
• Watch calories: Calories have been tracked for a week, eating a little low and not super happy with my macro, but will get there.  Mostly on track, still some macro issues and a few low days
• More vegetables: Still did well on this goal last week, eating way more veggies
• Watch intake after practice: Went to practice without dinner, practice was good, had ~650cals at BP, was well under the calorie goal 
• Eat out less: Eating out was way down.  Cooked way more.
• Kettlebell swings 200 swings 3x a week:   Only got in 2x 200 last week.  
• Continuing on the same goals adding: In bed by 10:30.
