Week 74: Well, shows I’m up +2 this week, which is pretty much how it’s been going for a while now. So if I go a few weeks with minuses or evens, I usually see a plus pop in every few weeks or so. … But as I’ve mentioned before, this really doesn’t bother me, because if it did I’m sure I would probably pay more attention to why this might be happening. 
… I can say I’ve been extremely busy lately with all the hunting and other activities I’ve been doing, and I’ve been feeling quite strong with my shooting and all the climbing in and out of trees, etc. But also know that since I have a habit of eating TMAD on weekends, and lately, drinking loads after hunting all day, I’m probably not helping myself to see better numbers when I weigh in on Sunday mornings. But I also don’t like to weigh in whilst Fasting, or light in meals. For I think this shifts weight way too much to give honest numbers. But what’s the medium? 
When I hunt, which is every Saturday and Sunday plus any other days I take off or slip out early, I don’t hardly drink anything whilst hunting. Obviously this is because I’m sitting up 25+ feet in a tree for many hours at a time, if not all day. And well, drinking pretty much anything causes issues I’d rather not deal with when I’m already in stand and ready to just enjoy the time. … But when I get home, that’s another story. I tend to drink absolute loads feeling quite parched & can’t seem to quench the thirst most times. Not to mention, I’ve actually noticed being a bit dehydrated as of late as well. (which I’m sure doesn’t help with weight loss either) - But as I’ve also mentioned before, I’ve never been one of those folks who uses the restroom on a daily basis, or even multiple times daily. I’m one of those folks who seems to hold onto foods longer, usually going days between. Which can be at times 3, 4, 5 or even more days between visits. (Note: This has not changed since switching over to Keto, but is how I’ve always been. If anything, I may even go somewhat longer now? Just wanted to mention that, so no one were to think switching over itself might be part of the cause.) Now with that being said, there are rare times I can see daily visits for a couple/few days, but then it’s back to normal. (But this is not often) I think this is due to either me just eating something that happened to help move things, or maybe it’s just something that occasionally happens after too much prolonged hold time? I can’t really say or confirm one way or the other, but just wanted to mention it since this too seems to be part of it all.
But as some may have noticed, I’ve also been getting back into Fasting here lately. And as my chart shows, I actually stepped away from Fasting for a few months. Not because it was an issue or causing any problems, but simply because I found that I might have been wanting to do it too often? So decided to just enjoy some meals for a while, and see if it might indeed make any difference? But to be honest, I don’t think it really did, as far as weight loss or anything else I’ve noticed. … If anything, during that time off, the only thing I did find was that I missed getting that lighter overall feeling that I enjoyed so much. So I have gone back to it, and have been enjoying just doing a small Fast each week, but have really been wanting to get back to doing some longer ones. This might not enhance weight loss per se, but it does usually make me feel better overall, allowing myself to simply get away from foods altogether for days at a time and maybe just getting that lighter feeling. So we’ll see how the coming weeks go.
Well, I just rambled on a bit tonight, since I’ve found I haven’t been too active on here lately with getting back into hunting, etc. (Except dropping in my meals daily, which I’ve done since joining) So I wanted to just sit back and add in some additional data in here tonight. If anything, just to keep things current and add in some recent insights I may not have mentioned previously? … Lastly I can say that like I’ve seen some others mention, though my weight loss hasn’t changed much per the chart, I haven’t noticed that my clothes fitting always matches this. - I have some things, like shirts, that seem to fit me better in the past few months, though weight seems to be relatively the same? So even though the overall weight is not significantly lower, I do believe changes are still happening. At least it feels that way…
… But I never even set it up, since I didn’t have any property to hunt. But I’m setting it up now, and can’t wait to sight her in. Simply using my Hoyt AlphaMax for now, since it’s been set up and my main bow for years.
Most of this evening I spent hoping the tree I was in didn’t decide to give way and give me a quick trip to the ground! … But even though the winds were indeed in serious mode, the little guys were still running around & even coming right up to my stand. (Less then Bow range, more like spitting range) but it’s still nice to see them out and about.) But this is normal for late October, just before the rut. The older fellas usually start making their rounds toward the end of October and through November. So hopefully it continues to proceed in this manner.
) Now the work begins… Plan to get her taken care of before heading to bed. But not sure I will get back out in the morning? Should be a long night. 
Egg Salad as a side.
