2017 OCT 20 -- Day 62

I again find myself at 378 lbs today. I saw 377 lbs once. I know what's possible. My weekend was hectic, and my whole schedule has been thrown off. I don't expect to see good numbers today or tomorrow. I've also been a bit remiss in my daily blogging duties. I need to get back on track. I have decided to go back to the oil doses just before and just after work. I get really confused otherwise. My husband can do his when he wants, but he's just going to have to understand how I need to have my routine. I'm sure he'll be fine.

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 378 lbs  
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

Thursday morning was a terrible morning for me, and I think it contributed to my wonky weekend. On Wednesday nights/Thursday mornings, I carpool with a co-worker. He picks me up in his truck. At the end of my shift on Thursday morning, I stayed about an hour past my shift wrapping up. This is a bit unusual, and my co-worker sat out in the parking lot listening to music while he waited for me to be done.

When I was finished, we got into the truck, and the engine wouldn't turn over. The truck battery was dead. We tried pushing it to get it going, and that did nothing. I had to call my husband to come rescue us with jumper cables. The truck-pushing certainly took its toll on me, but all that extra wrapping-up I had to do was a stressor, too. A situation that arises at work causing an extra hour of wrap-up time is very stressful by its very nature.

That fiasco ruined me for the rest of my weekend. Aside from feeling like I pushed a truck (which I did),  I never could feel quite caught-up with sleep all weekend long.  I had also made the decision to treat myself with the Domino's plain wings. As expected -- and as all Domino's food does -- it made me sick, and I spent a great deal of time meeting with the porcelain fairy to discuss the weather and other such mundanities of life.

As a result, my graph is very out-of-sorts.

Out-of-sorts graph:


And I haven't been keeping up with my husband's weight as well as I should. I will start that up again once I'm back on track and feeling better. I know that he's somewhere in the 234-lb range today.

2018 AUG 2 -- Day 113

My weight is down to 340.6 lbs again today, but that's what it has been every other day for the past 5 days. This is not encouraging. I like that it's gone down instead of up, but it's still not as far down as I'd hoped. I'm not feeling great about my progress at the moment. I'm beginning to doubt I can succeed with my ultimate weight loss goal at all. Am I losing inches, maybe? I don't know. I don't feel like I have, but I'm too afraid to measure myself. What if I haven't lost inches or if I have gained inches? I would be so discouraged! Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  340.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs My blood glucose readings were in the 120s when I first started measuring, but now they are staying in the 150 to 160 range. Every now and then they get into the 190s or 200s. That's fairly frightening. Why is my blood glucose so high? I read that there is possibly glucose in  my fat cells th...

2018 JUL 28 -- Day 108

I have lost a little bit of weight from yesterday to today, but I'm still not too happy. I am about three pounds heavier than where I should be right now. I know it's because food inevitably causes weight gain, and breaking my fast two days a week will invariably make my weight bounce back a bit. While I have to accept it, I don't have to like it. Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  339  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I was feeling a bit yuck from a combination of my fight with the porcelain fairy and the stress I've been under. I decided that eating would be a good idea today, so I had a salad with a nice, fat-infused Italian dressing I had made and some feta cheese and a few cherry tomatoes. It was really tasty. I also ate about an ounce or two of pork rinds. You'd be surprised at how many rinds are in a single ounce. They are a bit difficult to weight, though. I had quite a handful of them. Likely, it was two h...

2018 JUL 30 -- Day 110

I gained 3 lbs. I hate that I gained 3 lbs. I made the decision to change my eating regime and start eating when I feel hungry. I ate with my husband when we got home from work yesterday. We had taco salads. It was good, but I am now 3 lbs heavier than I was yesterday. This doesn't make me feel good. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  341  lbs  ⇧   Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I had about the same amount of actual salad that he had, but while he had an Italian Romaine blend of lettuce, I had a spring mix with baby spinach. I also drank almost my entire 7-cup bottle of water -- maybe 5 cups of it. I know that fiber retains water, so I'm hoping that when I eliminate the salad as waste, I will lose this 3 lbs and then some. We shall see and only time will tell. I feel good, though. I feel better than I have in several days. That's telling. Have I been severely dehydrated, maybe? I don't know. Have I been missing out ...
