..well no, not really. I don't feel bloated anymore, and I
actually feel "lightweight". Then why does the scale say otherwise? I
picked up an old habit of weighing myself every day. This was probably brought
about by the fact I signed up for a mock meet. It didn't have a 148 weight
class (next is 158) so I figured I sign up for the 138 one. I mean, 10 lbs is
easy to lose. Right? Well from what I'm going through right now I'm kinda
starting to realize I'm wrong. The first few months of keto last year worked really
slow for me but I didn't really feel any pressure, I just enjoyed the food
choices the diet has offered me. Plus working in a fastfood restaurant for 5
months probably helped with the weight loss too (on my feet running around for
8 hours 5 days a week). Then when I quit the job…the pounds came back too. So clearly,
calories in < calories out, right? I don’t know anymore.
I
think I’m in an okay shape as far as my fitness goals go. My lifts are
progressing, which is the point of powerlifting, I can do 3 rounds of jumprope…or
maybe I’m just trying to justify a reason to not try to lose weight. I really don’t know anymore. I DO know that I’ll
be on vacation for 2 months, coming back 2 weeks before the mock meet. Ha! Projected
weight loss in the keto calculator is promising 134 lbs by July 9. We’ll see. Okay, rant over.
