hoops02's Journal, 07 May 18

A little something my wife surprised me with. Cooked cabbage, kielbasa sausage, diced tomatoes with a few spices, and a little sriracha. It was scrumptious.

My back is feeling a good bit better. Hopefully another day or two and I'll be right. I miss riding the bike, but am still holding out a sliver of hope to do some miles on the Waccamaw Neck Bikeway in Murrells Inlet down to the beach on Thursday.I have been pretty sidelined at work the last few days but look forward to getting up and around a bit more.

35 carbs and 1280 calories today. Not terribly bad. I am amazed at how many sites recommend 150-200 carbs a day for weight loss. Some even higher for my height and weight, specifically. I wonder if I am cheating (or even hurting?) myself by looking to be so low. A lot of sites say to divide your calories by 4 and stick with that number for moderate weight loss. Odd, as I have been doing far lower in carbs most days than that number, like today. The 1280 calories suggest I could have had 300+ carbs based on a ton of sites recommending I have 1800-2200 calories for moderate weight loss. Doesn't sound right.

Color me confused.
