Still here. Still watching my eating. Still watching a bit of an direct correlary to the amount of food I eat and how much I lose, but not in how your would suspect. I wonder if that by going so low on my caloric intake (sub 2000) for several days in a row that my metabolism starts to shut/slow down and so it holds on to any food and water for dear life, thus the fluctuating weights? And when I eat more than my minimum maintenance level, my metabolism kick starts again? I dunno, that’s just my best guess so far.

My water intake’s been right where it needs to be, and I know that keeping hydrated and flushing toxins out of my body at a firehouse rate certainly helps things.

That’s about my only guess. Past that, there’s not too much to write – or more honestly, not too much I want to write about. I guess you can say I’ve been really questioning this blog and why it exists and if I’m comfortable with what I’m writing here (in the sense of putting myself out there in regards to certain parts of my life).

I can’t say I’ve come up with a conclusive answer, but I do know that when I blog consistently, I am thinking more about my health and weight loss, so I make better choices, and end up losing weight. That right there is a good reason to keep it up, but I may change focuses to write more strictly about the What, When, and How of my weight loss rather than the Why.
