I am beyond another Fat Focus Sunday and leap into a Fish Monday! At the 4 AM hour, I feasted:

1. Two ALDI fillets of wild salmon (6.3 oz);
2. A half package of burnt-by-distraction bacon (2 oz);
3. Two Walmart 100% Pure Beef Burgers (4.2 oz);
4. A stick of butter with 16 oz. of coffee poured over ice. (followed by ½ stick with 16 at 5-6 AM)

And that'll be it for the day! (I'm stuffed!)

Some bland facts:

• Today's fat kcal percentage (82%) does not match my target of 87%+ but after today, I am 89.6% for The 38th Expedition.

• Today's protein (98 grams) contributes to getting the average into the target range (65-75). Currently: 60.3 grams.

I say all of that to show that I am not all willy-nilly goin' around with a flippant approach! The targets I have chosen, namely fat %, tend to suggest their efficacy toward weightloss.

For all nine HFC Expeditions (54 weeks), there is a correlation of greater weightloss at 220 grams of fat than for 200 grams. (Yes, I lose even more weight by eating more fat on a high-fat diet!) An upper 60's protein / 230 fat approach may be best, though I have nothing of the upper end. This Expedition, I put the target for a daily 235. But there is a lot of variability regarding workouts and the impact of my FF days.

I do not have a gameplan for weight maintenance. Yes, I am nowhere near that point, some 50 lbs away. This underscores my approach: I am already there—at least with my mind, the part that matters!

But there is a joy felt in experiencing those scale slides, a wave of estatic upwelling that washes over me when the number dives below that 200 lb floor, as what happened in '21 on the Holiday of Bill: 23: The (One)90s Are Back!

And I am coming upon the month when for only the second time in 19 years, I just may experience that feeling again on a May 26.

Since I am dropping weight and gotta think about that New Year's Resolution, last night, I bought a 2-pack more of those Hanes 100% long-sleeved, black, polyester shirts and two pairs of black, slim-fit, golf pants from Amazon.

The pants were $12.20 each, but today they bumped the price to $38.90. HOWEVER, the next size down is $12.20 (wasn't last night) so I picked up a couple more in 36" since I can technically fit in that now, though a slim fit remains out of reach! I also bought the next size down for Hanes, a large.

So my wardrobe is conforming to the aesthetic of black polyester—no collar for casual, collar for It's a Saturday Night. Not including my fantastic, 25% cotton Black Rifle Coffee Company t-shirt, I have been removing cotton fabric out from my closet. Cotton fades as soon as you stash it in your closet!
