Quiet month in this thread!
I've been absent. My weight was 180 a few days after the trip. That triggered a mild panic and it dropped in a few days to 178. The panic didn't continue and so that weight has remained. For well over a year I was between 172 & 174 so that's my first goal.
I felt quite ill for a long time after returning from the trip. My GI system wasn't working right. I switched to larger pants and that, plus food from home as oppose to traveling, seems to have settled down my system.
In addition to that, I've started being able to do fewer steps. There have been a few days in a row when I make it to 10K but in general the past few weeks my average has been much lower, just 7500. Unless something changes, this week will be even below that. Sigh....
Anyway, rather than wait until April 1, I restarted MyFitnessPal today. My focus is on calories only, not movement. And lowering the carbs. I've been eating too many carbs lately, especially during the trip, so I think that was part of what bothered my GI system. It is too easy to have burgers or sandwiches and breakfast buffets focused on bread items as well. Even if I had eggs, it was often with toast. And that behaviour continued after getting home.
