Just remember u can learn from someone elses log.. but not everything works for everyone

Hi Scorpio Girl, you said in another post that sometimes you can have up to 125-150g of fat in a day. Is it OK to have these many fat grams, even though they're the good fats? I still don't understand the low carb / carb cycling thing. Since I've been logging, my fat grams have been over 50 and I've been worrying about it - I thought it was getting too high.

I'm not sure I understand which part your referring to.

I'm really trying to increase my water consumption. I just really DON'T like water. I'm going to try adding lemon or something to it (even lemon is kind of boring to me). If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Water is boring....

HOWEVER...and I'm so proud of myself for this.... I've not so much as looked at my bottle of wine in the fridge since last Saturday!!! THAT is an amazing accomplishment for me. I'm a 2 glass a day kinda' girl. I like to cook and drink wine. So now, it's just cooking and no wine. Maybe tonight....not sure yet.

Oh, so much like me. Alcohol was a staple of my diet. Trying to break the habit has not been easy - in fact apart from making sure I eat regularly, it's been the hardest part. Makes me sound like a lush!

Ouuuuuuuuuuu great job girl I was contemplating this for dinn dinn but not sure. From 2 glasses a day to 2 glasses one night a week... that is still good.

I spend way to much $$$ on wine so I guess it makes the 'reward' that much sweeter...

excuse me while I search for my *will power*

Well, it's been a week of slightly increasing my carbs. I also stopped the Creatine a couple of days ago. Monday I stepped on the scale and was 128 lbs. Yesterday I was 126.5, today I'm down to 124.5. WOW! Maybe my change-up is working??


...and I have a question....last week my fiance tested my bf (he's my tester every week). We do the 3 point test. He got 15 in all all three areas. This morning he had to work, so I got the callipers out and did my own test. I got 13, 12, 12! I'm going to have him test me in the morning to see what he gets, but I'd love to actually be the numbers I got. Is it possible to go from 21.5 to 17-18 in a week?
