Friday has been my weigh day for a long time. I try not to stress over the numbers, but I do like to have an idea of what's going on from week to week and admittedly, a high number will bother me. In the lead up to cutting the crap out of my diet was a month long trend up and an increase in discomfort, intestinal issues, tight cloths and cramps. So far, the lack of grains/carbs has certainly relieved a lot of these issues and that has been true in the past.
So, from last week I am down about 4lbs. Don't get too excited, I was also on my period last week and now tapering off which can mean anything from a 2-5lb adjustment as I cycle through. It's way more important to me that I feel better. But I won't lie that trending downward in weight does make me happy.
I've consciously upped my water and a bit of salt and that has helped some intestinal side effects I'd experienced. Feeling good in general.
Went for a run on the treadmill. Way too hot and humid to run outside today. I ate breakfast before I went. Usually I eat after a run, but I got a late start and was hungry. I sweat more than usual, but that could be due to any number of things. It was my typical run otherwise. Didn't feel like I had any special challenges.

I probably snacked, but can't remember what or when.
