Still stuck. Aside from a few ups & downs I've basically been stuck at this weight for a week. So let's figure this out..
-Food & drink- No cheats
-Macros- On plan
-In ketosis constantly
-Exercise level-daily
-Sleep-terrible as always. 4 to 5 hours per night, nap, sometimes 2 necessary during the day.
No doubt in my mind my body likes to be around 225 and not surprised. It took a fast to get me to 220 in 2014 and prior to that in my "lighter" years, I often thought 225 was the comfort point for my body. The body has muscle memory in many ways so should we be surprised if thats the case with our weight?
I won't be stopped. I just need the key to break it somehow. I'm not quite ready for another 100% fast, albeit I'm thinking a 2 or 3 day one. Or possibly a series of 2-3 day with a reasonable refeed in between. I am ready for a fast in that I have no food in the fridge that HAS to be eaten before I start aside from whip cream for my coffee. Not the worst casualty to sacrifice if I decide to have a water fast. But, yet...gradual steps, its not a race here. My first go at this will be OMAD but just have a couple cups of coffee with cream, cause I want too. Certainly a severe calorie & macro reduction should send some signal to the system and this is actually something I have never tried. The only side effect I may need to be concerned about is that cream in the coffee causing my body to want more but hey, its not going to kill me to try, so let's give it a go! I have 2.5 weeks to my son's bday & I'm bound & determined to be below 220 by then. If I don't break 225 by Monday then its on to the 3 day fast/1 day eat/3 day fast idea as the next weapon the arsenal. I have no obstacles mentally or emotionally to deal with at the moment beyond waiting for some packages to arrive from the US! lol.
