Draglist's Journal, 16 Jul 14

Back to the real world today after our fun vacation, AKA CarbFest 2014! Was planning on targeting 1400-1500 calories per day for the rest of the month, but rethought that because I gladly don't have enough body fat left to support that level of deficit. Instead, I'm going to target roughly a 1000 calorie deficit per day but topping out at eating 1840 calories in a day. With all the eating I've done in early July, this should end the month with about a 500 calorie per day deficit on average and hopefully will result in a 195-196 pound weigh in by August 1.

This morning, I recorded crazy high water levels for a waking weigh in. Tonight, the wackiness continued as the standard morning-to-afternoon water content increase held true. So, 'off the charts' high waking water numbers turned into 'off the charts' afternoon water numbers. Hard to say where I really am until I get rid of this excess water weight, but things look promising. Two readings tonight, one pre-dinner and pre-workout, and a second set of numbers after dinner and an hour workout.

Here are the 7/16/14 Tanita Numbers (pre-dinner, pre-workout):

Weight - 218.4
Goal Weight (10% BF) - 213.1 (actual target is probably 192... so 21 lbs. of water weight need to be lost!)

Total body fat lbs. - 26.6
Total body water % - 69.8 (NEW HIGH!)
Visceral fat rating - 8

Bone mass lbs. - 9.4
Daily calories: 4510 (RDI 2533)

Here are the 7/16/14 Tanita Numbers (after dinner and one hour treadmill):

Welcome back! Reading your journals, sounds like you had a grand time. Just a thought for the excess water levels...green tea. Water doesnt do a lot for me in that regard but green tea is amazing I'Ve since read its been used historically as a diuretic. Best success to you in getting back to where you want to be.
