Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Friday 9/14
Today's weight: 140.2
Half a day at work today. Planning a couple of hikes this weekend (gee Mom, who could have seen THAT coming) as the weather is supposed to be gorgeous. I've discovered several vegan whole food bars with at least 10 grams of protein that I can take along on hikes to get some calories/energy in as I go. So I am now officially completely off dairy and eggs.
I have upped my carbs to 200/day. I know this seems high but I was at 150 and still losing. I'm hoping that upping my carbs a little will help me stop things; also since I'm eating strict vegetarian it's easier to get my protein in with a little higher carb target. I'm still at minimum 100 grams of protein a day. Still drinking a couple of shakes a day, just vegan protein powder.
One thing I've discovered about a strict (no dairy/eggs) veggie diet is that if you stay away from junk you end up with VERY high fiber. Yesterday I was over 50 grams of fiber! So far my body seems to be loving this, though.

OK, stress=OCD comes out.
That's just me.
Mom, I'll look later- but I have a snacky bar that I think may fit your diet? If so, it's darn tasty. but I need to check to see first..

I have to go shopping for a recliner for my LBL and arrange for that and get another case of chicken breasts from Restaurant Depot. Other than that will probably go for a hike and some long walks.
Figured out yesterday that I had a strain in one of my hip flexor muscles - so trying to take care of that. No running - Boo.
