2017 NOV 2 -- Day 75

Yay! I'm down by about .6 lbs today. My scale gave me a very pretty 376.4 lbs today. It's no 376 lbs even, but who am I to complain? I'm under 377 lbs. Heck! I'm under 400 lbs, for that matter! I never thought I'd see this side of 400 lbs again, but here I am, almost 25 lbs below that mark.

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 376.4 lbs ⇩ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

I can't believe it's already November 2nd. I've been procrastinating a lot on things I should be working on -- like clay ornaments and crocheted blankets and shawls. I ought to be ashamed of myself. I'm not. I'll panic as the time draws near for me to have completed things as I realize I didn't complete them as I had planned. I work well under pressure, but I shouldn't know that about myself. I really do need more discipline!

Maybe I'll work on something when I get home from work today. I also have to finish planning for Thanksgiving and finish cleaning up the apartment for that party. Ugh! You know what my problem is? It all seems very daunting. There is so much that I have committed myself to doing that I've
overwhelmed myself.

The bigger problem is that even if I knew how to delegate work, I have no one to whom I can delegate these specific tasks. They are all employing my unique skills. If I ask my husband to do something as simple as rinse a dish, he does a half-way job of it and hurries back to his game. But he tried, and I don't want to discourage him by telling him he didn't meet my standards. Can anyone truly meet my standards? They're pretty high. 

Anyhow, I need to get back to planning now. I think this is enough jibber-jabber for one post.

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 ...
