I didn't eat my leftover pizza casserole tonight. Also, the scale reading went up today. I don't blame it. I weighed myself after I ate a whole package of beef jerky. I had 4 oz of the stuff. It was good, though. We got the jerky on our way to Tucson from California. We stopped in Quartzite, and Eric thought very seriously about uprooting us to move there. The guy behind the counter of the beef jerky place was very convincing. LOL.
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 367.4 lbs ⇧
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs
Anyhow, this jerky's been waiting for weeks just for me. It has no sugar or carbs, and that's why we bought it. Working it into my OMAD has been difficult, but as we were playing board games (and celebrating our anniversary), I didn't think much about pulling it out as a snack. It was around 2:30 AM when I ate it. it was close enough to my eating window that I didn't worry about it.
I pulled out some of my avocado and feta dip to go with it so I wasn't eating too much lean protein without balancing it with fat. I also made myself some BPC (bullet proof coffee). Essentially, it's coffee with fat in it. I added coconut oil and butter to it and zipped in in the blender. It was frothy and amazing! But I wonder if this is the reason my scale balked.
I don't know whether eating jerky was good or bad on my diet, but I put it in my Carb Manager app, and I added in the fats that I needed. All-in-all with my "guesstimations" of what nutrients were in that jerky, I think I ate 1220 calories, and that's right within the range I needed to eat. I made sure I had enough fats to offset the protein, and I think I managed to be balanced appropriately. We will see what happens according to the scale over the next few days or so.
Also, today is the end of the first month. My total weight loss is 18.6 lbs for this month. That's not too shabby!
