Day 76 of my "It's time to lose some weight" Challenge

Good on the carbs yesterday. I ate a lot and it included a bag of pork rinds and some strawberries in SF sweetened HWC.

Days at or under 20 carbs: 63
Days with good portion control: 64
Days avoiding my "Problem" LC foods: 65

Practice plan thru September 30:

Alternate Day Fasting - Monday, Wednesday and Friday (ADF M-W-F). Same as Quarter 2 of 2020. Also on eating days trying to keep protein at around 1g/lb body weight. Also I plan on not stepping on a scale until Oct 1st nor tracking carb macro (only protein) This should be fun and relaxing!

Tracking below. First line is days of week, lines below them are hits and misses for the days that week. I'll note if it was 24 or 36hr fast.

X = 24-36hr Fast
