My booster-day-morning weight was 171. I am a little dissatisfied with the fact that I went back up to 171 for 3 days. I know it makes sense that I'm losing weight slower now, but it's frustrating not to see much change, which is why I need that 0.2 lb-precise scale. I also might be building muscle faster than I'm losing fat, by mass, which I'd certainly like to believe as an explanation, and the body fat reading on the new scale will tell me if that's the case too.
I'm also dissatisfied with yesterday and my mindset. I'm not too concerned about the fact I didn't exercise, because I understand the real factors that played into that - the day when we go out to eat is also the day we do everything else, so time is tight and I don't want to run around when I have lots of food in my belly. What I didn't like was that the higher calorie limit became an excuse to eat to be filled, to gorge on bread and cheese. So in response to this, to my slowing losses, and to my recalculated calorie needs at my already lower weight - I will quietly push down my daily target to 1700 and my booster day limit to 2300.
