TL;DR: Thought I was stuck, turns out I was drinking calories I wasnt keeping track of. Dialed everything lost 5.5 pounds since tuesday. Finally under 300 pounds
I had made a post about being stuck on a plateau and just being general frustated about what i thought was a lack of progress on the my weight loss. One thing about the progress I've made is gotten really in tune with my own body and how it reacts to things. For instance, heavy carbs make me retain water for exactly 3 days. Everytime I have a meal outside of my lane I'll go up a pound or 2 and keep it no matter what. One thing I didnt account for is alcohol. I dont drink much but for christmas my wife bought a bottle of decent bourbon and whisky glass set for me. I dont drink alot during the week sometimes ill have one or two drinks but come friday night, after the kids go to bed id break out the drinks. Have some and go to bed. I dont know why but i never made the correlation between the bourbon and calories but come to find out one shot of bourbon contains almost 100 calories. I would easily put 3 shots in the glass and probably do that 3 times. To me explaining why I would keep losing the same 2 to 4 lbs for the last 3 weeks. Which brings me to today. I decided to really count everything that went into my mouth just to get an idea. Turns out the food is fine. I cut out the bourbon completely and stepped on the scale this morning and it read 299.8, i couldnt believe it. So i did it again. Same thing. 299.8. I was at a loss for words. The last time I weighed under 300 for sure was when I played LB in college at 270. I feel like Im floating today. I know its only .2 lbs but I feel like that .2 is grand canyon sized difference. It feels so good to not be 300 pounds.
