2017 OCT 21 -- Day 63

And today I am even higher than I was yesterday. I'm at 378.8 lbs. This is very sad news, but not completely unexpected. I'm back at work tonight. I'm not eating lunch, and I plan to get myself back on track from that horrendous weekend experience.

We had lunch with a friend on Friday, and it was good. it was barbecue. I love barbecue. And I was good about it, too. I ordered .25 lbs of brisket and ate less than half of it. I got a small side of green beans and ate less than half of those. We ordered a plate of sweet potato fries for the table, and I ate three (they were really long fries). And I didn't have dessert.

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 378.8 lbs  
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

Now, I did have to drink a bunch of coffee with a lot of cream and sugar to get myself out of bed and to stay awake during lunch, and I'm sure that wasn't a good choice. Why is all the coffee so strong these days? I can't drink it black at all.

I have a lot of cream in my coffee. It's usually about 3 to 5 of those little one-serving things (depending on the cup size). And I put in one or two packets of sugar depending on the size of the cup as well. Both of mine were 4-creamer, 2-sugar cups, and I'm sure there were a lot of very nasty ditto-food calories consumed. I don't know how many as I'm not allowed to count (and obsess over) calories anymore. It makes my husband miserable when I do that.

I also made a failure of a Chicken and Chorizo Paella. I'm not going to share the recipe as I failed so miserably to get it right. The problem is that I over-filled the pressure cooker, and it wouldn't pressurize, so I had to complete the cooking in a pan on the stove. The rice was mush, and the chicken ended up being tough. The only saving grace was the chorizo. That was tasty. Next time, I'll make half the recipe, and then do the other half later. If I do it right the next time I make it, I will let you know the recipe.

Failed to make good food graph:


I got what I deserved; didn't I? I failed to make good food, so I'm being punished with weight gain? This is not a good way to look at things, but I can't help it. I just do.

My husband's weight is down today. He's at 233 lbs today. O, to be that thin. For him, though, it's too high. It will be too high for me too, but I have to get there first. I am more than 100 lbs heavier than he is. I would love to weight less than my husband. I'll get there.

2017 OCT 25 -- Day 67

I don't have much to say today. I thought I had beaten the plateau, but it is still going strong. I'm the same weight today as I was yesterday. This is not fun, but now I sound like a bit of a broken record. I'm not going to say much today, so I'll share a recipe. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight: 378.2 lbs Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  359 lbs Japanese-style Ginger Salad Dressing This goes well as a coleslaw dressing. I've used it with a mix of classic cabbage slaw and Asian-style broccoli slaw. 1-1/2 C chopped yellow onion 1 C peanut oil 1/2 C rice wine vinegar 1/2 C water 3 tsp fresh ginger root, minced or grated 3-1/2 tsp fresh garlic, minced or grated 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 4 tbsp lemon juice 4 tsp sugar 4 tsp soy sauce 4 tsp ground mustard 4 tsp sesame seeds Place all ingredients except sesame seeds into a small food processor and pulse for 1 minute, or until desired consistency.  Stir in sesame seeds.

2018 JUN 15 -- Day 65

The weight is coming down. I'm down by 1.4 lbs today from where I was yesterday. It still doesn't make up for the 9 lbs in total that I gained from just one weekend of eating, but it is going to take some time to get that back off. I really want it to come off as quickly as it came on, but we all know that will probably not happen. If I want something, that's the surest way to make sure it doesn't happen! LOL Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  356.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I have been watching videos on YouTube about how people are shedding their pounds, and it is all very counter-intuitive to what I have learned from Doctors Fung and Berg. But it appears to have worked for these YouTubers, so who am I to judge or criticize what they have chosen to do? A lot of it is a variation on either the eat less; move more (ELMM) theory, or the calories in, calories out  (CICO) theory. I hope for their sak...

2017 AUG 30 -- Day 11

I weighed myself before work again tonight. I like these lower numbers. I'm pretty sure this is due to not eating during sleep for at least 6 hours. Whatever the case, I'll take it! Yay! Low number! Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  406.4 lbs  ⇩  Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  399 lbs I'm at work. It's 10:30 PM. I've been feeling the hungry growly monster in my tummy, but I've been ignoring him... until now. I'm eating my sandwich. According to the book, you are only supposed to feel hungry when you're body is below its set-point. Is my set point higher than 406.4 lbs? Wow! I need to find out how to lower that a lot faster. How can I make it 145 lbs? LOL. I know the answer to this. It gradually becomes lower over time; I must be patient. The trend is still downward on the whole, but right now it is still well above the first measurement I took at 404.8 the day I got my scale. It's going down, and I saw 406.4 lbs today ...
