I have weighed exactly 139 lbs for the last three days. I’m curious what I’ll weigh tomorrow. I may a drop, since I was SO damned hungry today, extra 300 calories be damned. Tough to tell.

I’ll weigh myself before I begin for those who are betting on the carb-load induced gains…

Total: 1206

Trained today.
3×5 cleans with 95 lbs
3×5 fronts with a plate a side
3×3 incline bench with 95
3×5 RDLS with a plate a side.

Soooo sleeepy…

Oh - 142 this AM, and hungry today. Usually means a whoosh is imminent. We’ll see…

I ate a little fat in my evening meal. Half a tablespoon of butter with my fish and green beans, 15g of natural peanut butter on 2 ounces of apple. I’ll see how this sits with my skin. I really miss my avocado.

Macros for today:
Total: 1252
Fat: 39 351 29%
Sat: 12 111 9%
Poly: 6 56 5%

So far, my appetite remains mostly off with intermittent bouts of “famished” that are extremely easy to squelch. Weight this AM: 141.4 - down from 149 on Tuesday when I started, although that figure was largely influenced by the multiple bowls of curry and rice I ate the couple of days before I began.

So far I feel fine. I’m about to go for a walk over to Main street (where all the funky clothing stores are) and I’ll train again tomorrow - I’m thinking weighted negative chins, bb bench, and RDLs.

I think I’ll take in a Yoga class Tuesday night, then train Thursday. I’ll TRY for AM this time, although on very restricted calories I really like putting off breakfast and I can’t do that if I train in the AM.

Hmmm… what to do what to do…

So odd.

Funny, of all the diets I’ve done, I’ve never actually tried this for fear of hunger. The fact that so many of you have managed gives me the courage I otherwise lack.

Starving sucks! Let’s see if ketosis does its thing for me here and blunts hunger like it did for me with Atkins all those years ago.
