My menu was a little bit high in carbs yesterday, but again not awful. I'm starting back to keeping calories lower today.

Started watching my calorie per pound intake about a month ago to try to drop some weight for the hiking season - began at 177lbs. I made it to 172 lbs in six weeks before doing the serious hiking over last weekend - soreness and swelling are nearly gone and I'm back in ketosis. Weight is 175 lbs today, but my clothing is much looser - I will take measurements as soon as all swelling has gone. Calories per pound yesterday 1597 / 175 = 9.13 (aiming for around 8 to 9.5 for weight loss).
