2017 OCT 24 -- Day 66

I am back on track. I'm pretty sure I am, anyhow. I really shouldn't count my chickens before they've hatched. Am I right? Yeah. That's never a good plan.

I'm at 378.2 lbs today. That's only a loss of .6 lbs from yesterday, but it's a loss and not a gain. This is still not the lowest number I've seen on the scale, but it's going down now, and I'm sure I'll revisit 377 lbs soon enough. I'm in the 370-lb range, and that's fantastic!

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 378.2 lbs ⇩ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

Any down-blip is a good down-blip. I'll take it!

I think I'm back on track with the oil. Going forward, I will be sticking with the Bertoli brand. I don't like it as much as the HEB brand oil, but it's tolerable. Now that I don't have the fear of it being rancid, I'm finding the taste to be much more pleasant than when I first experienced it. It shows how perception can color things in unexpected ways.

I made some Japanese Ginger Salad Dressing last night. I had made it before using a different recipe, but I had to doctor it up a bit to make better suited to my husband's and my tastes. This one didn't turn out the same, and I didn't expect it would, but it's not terrible. The issue I have with all of the recipes I've found is that it's just to acidic. The brand I used to buy which is no longer available at the stores at which I shop is Terry Ho's Japanese Ginger Dressing. It's a milder, sweeter flavor, and it's not as acidic or spicy.

I may have to use more sugar and less lemon juice and vinegar when I make the next batch. I used it to make coleslaw with a mix of traditional cabbage slaw and some broccoli slaw. It was pretty tasty, I gotta say.

The hubs is at 234 lbs today. He's up a bit from yesterday's 233 lbs, but he'll probably drop again.

The graph has a peak, but I haven't peaked graph:

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.

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 ...
