2018 MAY 14 -- Day 33

Woohoo! I'm down again. And not only am I down, I'm down below where I was at my lowest! This is great. I wonder, though, whether this means I'm about to drop even lower and hit my next goal of getting to 359 lbs or under. We shall see. I'm very hopeful!

Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 366.6 lbs 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

I feel 100% better. I am not feeling bloated and uncomfortable at all today. I woke up energized. And between you and me, I had a great dream. It was a sexy dream. Eek! LOL. My point in telling you about this is that it was a pleasant dream. It wasn't stressful or scary at all. That was a welcome change.

Now, Dr. Berg says that when we have vivid dreams, that indicates that we have a B-vitamin deficiency, so it's not good. We should be forgetting our dreams. So I guess I need to add more nutritional yeast into my OMAD meal to make sure I'm getting enough of it. That's sad, though. I was enjoying that dream.

I ate a meal no unlike the one I had yesterday. I had the same amount of Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole, and I added 5 Cups of salad to that with 4 tbsp of sour cream and 4 tbsp of my Avocado and Feta dressing. It was so good. I also fried one egg in 1/2 tbsp of butter, and tossed that on top. It ended up being about 1108 calories with 20g total in carbs, and 80g of fat and 59g of protein. It was fairly close to a perfect balance. 



I know that I have a calorie budget of 1500 (and if I go with what my app says, it's 1860), but I like to keep it between 1000 to 1300 calories because I only eat one meal. I simply cannot eat as much at once. Also, according to Dr. Berg, when you are fasting, the body preserves the nutrients and reuses them, so I don't actually need to eat as much if I'm doing just one meal a day. That's good to know!

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 ...
