Workouts Great, Weight the Same

August 2015

I've added a bit more running (mostly treadmill but some road) to my weekly workouts, and I'm still lifting.  The body weight though never changes.  It fluctuates from 227 to 230 lbs.  If I skip dinner, then I may weigh in at 227.  It has nothing to do - so far as I can tell - with the number of calories I eat.

I may have to go back to the Atkins Diet.  It was great once upon a time, but I don't know if I have the will to do it again.  However, I also don't seem to have much choice.

I've been substituting veggie, fruit, protein drinks for meals.  I've been increasing my fiber consumption.  I'm drinking lots of water.  I'm not eating sugar.

I am still eating rice and bread.  I am still drinking coffee with cream and sugar substitute in the mornings.  I may have to simply nix the breads and rice.

Ingredients for one version of my protein shake; I use water or
unsweetened almond milk for the liquid base
