Wow! 😁 I was surprised to see the scale move down again, this morning. Only .4 lbs. from my goal. I "accidentally" ate fewer calories yesterday. Meaning I ate exactly what I wanted and it fell under 1200 calories. I had my usual breakfast (fresh fruit & an English muffin) a favorite go to appetizer (ahi tuna) from a local resteraunt for lunch with a few crackers, some popcorn for a snack then oven roasted chicken thigh, potato, carrots & broccoli. I was so low in calories I was able to choose a couple of cookies as my dessert. I was still under 1200 calories so I debated having an Outshine ice pop but decided against it. That was the decision that was not accidental.

Based on the results after a couple of days of reduced calories (even lower than 1200) it comes to mind I could probably have hit my target goal sooner if I had fasted during the month of September. It seems a lot of people are choosing that as a tool to lose the weight. That just doesn't seem appealing to me. I'm trying to develop a healthier approach to long term eating so I don't gain the weight back. I don't see fasting as a long term answer for me.

Now, let's see if I continue downward or have a bump up before I see 155.

70.5 kg Lost so far: 7.9 kg.    Still to go: 9.3 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
