A run, a weigh in and Food for 8/12

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.

Food Diary 8/12

Breakfast
Yogurt with pecans

Lunch
grabbed a handful of peanuts (roasted, salted) when I got in from errands
leftover spinach and chickpeas

Dinner
Stir fry with frozen carrots, cauliflower, broccholi and tofu-tiny bit of honey in the sauce

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