Gastrointestinal covid - that's why a nasal swab shows neg. Repeat with a rectal swab!
"backed-up" might be the only symptom that doesn't signal covid......
Current situation
weight has been steady - been having wine or beer with dinner, and i think that is keeping me from losing, although...
I feel thinner, and stronger. After feeling like crap (pun) for a week, i've been more on my feet.
Lots of ladder work, and carrying stuff. Plus a couple days of building at 6MR.
No cardio during that time. Looking forward to warm weather!
Maybe some progress by next Saturday (week 18??)

I bottomed-out at -16lbs, picked up a few lbs at Easter, and just worked my way back. Hard to believe it's been 19 weeks - 5:30am treadmill every day, no beer, and BMX at lunch (weather permitting). Like Patrick, I definitely feel stronger and thinner, plus increased flexibility. That last one should help when I hit the skate park this Summer!

Being down 40+ lbs, my energy and mood has gone up exponentially. My fitness has gone up significantly, my back pain is all but gone, and my strength is improving. It’s a win all around. My body seems to be liking my current weight. 162.6 this morning. That’s after a good triple IPA and some solid chipotle last night. Keeping the diet clean and disciplined is a win. I just realized that I haven’t had soda in 9+ months and I don’t see a need to ever have it again. That’s huge for me too.

Great job. Have you Increased your calories towards a maintenance stage at this post or are you still in that big defict?

It’s come up a bit. I’m probably in the 1500-1800 calorie range now. If I eat clean, I don’t really need more than that.

E2M program Round 3, Week 2, Day 6
Diet
After adding some healthy carbs, brown rice or 1/2 sweet potato to early meals and losing last week, decided to add some fruit with each meal. My energy was up. Basically seeing what happens with the additions coming into TSEpic. Going out for the cheat meal this afternoon to a local, Mexican spot.
Exercise
Stuck to plan circuits and spin bike sessions. Only 1 lunch walk as the weather has sucked and I was doing the Ride Wrap installation on the Pivot. Did make it to Belmont #notarace on Thurs. Was informed afterward that I was "1st place" SSer this week. Have been able to hang with many riders, and pass many others, that I rarely see during the 3 laps. PR'd the climb up Parachute Hill. Going to keep it easy for the coming week while prepping for TSE.
Weight
1/2/22 Starting weight = 235.4
4/30/22 Current weight = 181.8
Diff: weekly up 1.2, total lost = 53.6
Not surprised with the small increase in weight. It was an experiment week for me. Now I know, only 1 healthy carb per meal. The strength training will start in about 3 weeks.

Broke 45lbs (45.7 actually) of loss today right at the 4.5 month mark . It's been slow going with the scale movement but progress pictures are showing lots of recomposition still occurring. Just a few lbs ahead of my initial goal to lose 10-15 lbs by end of May 🤣 😂

Nice job. Same for me with the initial goal. Mine was 20 by beginning of March. Blew through that and moved the goal post.

Really burnt out and exhausted I'm going to try something new and up my calories for today to 2500 or 2700 and use it as a re feed day. Than go back to my normal 1800 to 1850 for the the rest of the week if this helps with my Hunger and energy this may be a weekly thing. Already enjoying stuffing face with the extra calories today. Lots of yard work to do and lifting later so this should be around a maintenance calorie for the day especially if I go on the low end with 2500.

The re feed day was a success I finished the day at 2560 calories. This should be right around what my maintenance should be and it was by far the highest calories I've eaten in 4.5 months. Even the days I had my very few cheat meals I compensated the rest of the day to make up for them and still be In a nice deficit. Don't know about making this a regular s scheduled thing but it will deffintly be something I make a game day call on if energy is just seriously lacking and hunger is out of control. The extra 760 calories was nice to have today!

This weekend was a planned increase in weight. Saturday was the 12 Hours of Port Jervis race so I wanted to go into this fueled up. I had some extra calories leading into this. I was 162.6 the Friday before the race and this morning 166.4. I indulged all weekend. Big dinner Friday with dessert, race food(7 hours of liquid race mix/2 PB sandwiches) and PIZZA, and everything I wanted yesterday. I'll be back to my usual diet today, but it was a well earned cheat weekend after almost 12 hours of racing my bicycle.

We inadvertently did something similar this past weekend. Hit the Michener Museum in Doylestown, hit the Noodle Shop afterward, walked around and brought Empanada Mama takeout home for dinner! Win, win win!
Unrelated, but this week starts my cauliflower-rice-lunch week (I've got a good recipie that tastes just like sauerkraut 👍). I'm shooting for a 10lb drop as I add the fat bike back into weekly riding, which will put me at 10% total loss and my new maintenance weight.

Nice 👍 , post up that cauliflower rice recipe too I keep hearing about this stuff but never tried and we eat a ton of cauliflower.

Super simple - shred your cauliflower, press out the water (don't go crazy), and add a little yellow mustard + worcestershire sauce to taste. I add the mustard & worcestershire per serving (1 bowl). I'm an eyeball-chef, so my guess is about 1tsp each. You better test-n-taste to your liking 😉

206.5 today puts me down .5 from last week. Weight training at the gym has taken a hit. I managed to go today but I definitely lost some strength. Overall not a big deal. I still feel strong on the bike and my endurance is ramping up nicely. The love handles have shrunk but the beer belly still taunts me.
