I kind of anticipate an increase? Which I don\u2019t look forward to. But I think the carbs and such will increase water weight a bit\u2026 it won\u2019t be REAL weight gain, but I think it will be an increase on the scale.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I was still not back to my lowest weight since I started trying to lose, but it was headed back that direction. Ultimately, it will be whatever it is. I\u2019m going to give this a try at least until the end of the year and if I\u2019m displeased with the results, I can reassess then. Of course, I\u2019m not making any kind of additional commitment here. My commitment is to keep trying to lose weight until I see the scale display my goal: 165. The method I get there through at this point is just going to be whatever I decide to try\u2026 so if a few weeks into this I feel like it\u2019s going completely awry, I might change it earlier than I intend to. But I hope not. I hope this way works well for me.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to do my first run in awhile tomorrow as well. That will maybe earn me some bonus calories if I want to use them. I\u2019m hoping that I\u2019ll start to see my run performance improve now that I\u2019ll have some carbs in me for fuel. We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These will stop being diet related at some point, I swear\u2026 But it\u2019s what\u2019s on my mind at the moment, so\u2026 you\u2019ll have to deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What era?
