2018 MAY 10 -- Day 29

I made the pizza casserole finally! It was very delicious. The holdup was in getting the gumption to mix up the Italian sausage. I made Italian sausage using ground beef and Italian seasonings, then I had to let it sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours to allow all the flavors to blend. It was worth it.

This pizza casserole, and it's hard to imagine that it helps you lose weight and is healthy, consists of a bottom layer of ground sausage, then a layer of sauteed mushrooms (I used baby bellos), and then a low-carb sauce on top of that. Then you spread some grated mozzarella over the top and place pepperonis on it.  Wow! That was yum!

The pan was four servings in total. I had one. My husband ate two. They were huge servings. I put this in a 13 x 9 pan, and that means a serving was 1/4 of the pan! I put that on top of a bowl full of greens, and I topped it with some sour cream and nutritional yeast. That was my one meal, and it was totally worth the effort. I need to make that again!

Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 366.8 lbs 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

What's even better than the delicious pizza casserole is the fact that I'm at my lightest weight of 366.8 lbs today! Yay! I haven't been lighter than this yet. Maybe tomorrow? I don't know. I think I'm actually on a plateau at the moment, so I fully expect it to go up again. Maybe my scale doesn't know any lower weights? LOL Yes. It is my scale's fault. My scale never learned what's lower than 366.8 lbs. It's confused!

There is a lot of food in the house, and usually, we do grocery shopping on Friday, but I don't think we will need to. There is far too much food, and I don't think we can eat it all. I seriously need to readjust the grocery list because I bought enough this week to make three casseroles, and in total, that make 20 servings of food. Even with my husband eating double servings, that's far too much.

It's also mine and my husband's 3rd anniversary today! This was a delicious anniversary meal, and my husband loved it. He had two helpings of the pizza casserole! I have one left that I'm saving for tomorrow. I can't wait. It was so good!

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 ...
