2017 OCT 31 -- Day 73

I am up by another .2 lbs today. I'm at 376.8 lbs. That's not a huge set-back. I am a panda, and that makes it all better!

Happy Halloween! Yay! I love Halloween. I don't do as much for Halloween as I used to, but it's still fun to dress up. It's also fun to know that no matter where I go, a skeleton comes with me. There is a skeleton inside of me right now! Spooky!!!

I had purchased a set of ears and panda paws to wear today, but I couldn't locate them. I also usually give my coworkers candy and trinkets, but I didn't do that this year.

My husband succeeded in his yearly endeavor to discourage me from doing it. He tries all the time, but this is the first year he's succeeded. This year I realized that there are just so few people that I come into contact with anymore, that it's hardly worth it.

We both work in the same call center, and we do the same job. We are support technicians who help people get their Internet and TV service working properly. We work the graveyard shift (how apropos), and I'm the floor supervisor. I'm technically his supervisor. He has a lot of fun telling people that.

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 376.8 lbs ⇧ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

 I'm okay with this up-blip. It's not huge. It could be much, much worse. I think I deserve a fall treat. Maybe a pumpkin spice latte? Heh. I'm so basic sometimes.

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 ...
