I'm not sure what all is effecting my weight loss, but the scale does seem to be moving down more easily since I started drinking "bulletproof coffee" every  morning for the last week.  That's coffee with grass-fed butter and coconut oil in it (I'm just making my own recipe, but I do plan to look up the real Bulletproof Coffee recipe at some point).  I've also been eating more grass-fed beef this last week, which I thought might slow me down digestively, but I've had no issues. I am keeping it to reasonable portions though.

I'm going to start this 1 month Paleo Challenge tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.  At this point it mainly just means I have to drop dairy, as I only eat grains/bread a couple times a week as it is.  But maybe dropping this last few bits of grain will have an effect.

I've been trying to put on some muscle and have increased my protein intake for the last couple weeks, which probably explains the slowdown in weight loss.  But I'm thinking of doing the Paleo challenge at Crossfit (which runs for all of Aug) to see what effect that has

Just finished a super sweaty WOD at Crossfit.  Did 25 burpees without having to take a break, so that was cool.

Feeling good.  

215 and I climbed a rope

I didn't make it to the top, but I found out I can climb a rope yesterday.  I was having a bad day and almost quit at Crossfit, but I thought I'd give the rope a try and was surprised to find I made it half way up without trying too hard.  Next time I'll go in fresh and make it to the top.

I had a bad week, but I'm getting back on the wagon.  I was trying to eat reasonably well, but I stopped counting and tracking everything.  But I started tracking everything again yesterday, so the numbers should start moving down again.
