After the 4 lb. drop from 239 to 235, my weight went back up close to 238 and started dropping at a more natural rate. I am now down to 236.2, but it is probably more of a real weight than the 235 I somehow got to on the weekend. So I am pretty happy. It means real progress, and not at a snail's pace.
Yesterday I was super tired and drained, a time which I love to lose control and go overboard on the calories. But the recent practice of calorie counting helped me keep balanced and stay with the good habit of limiting my portions.
The force is strong with you, young jedi.
