Woohoo! I'm doing nothing but losing weight now! I love it!
My husband and I went grocery shopping, and I got all the fixings for making the Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole -- this is my husband's favorite keto casserole so far -- and I developed and bought ingredients for a new Lasagna Casserole. I hope he likes that one. I think I will.

My sweetie is really concerned about the state of his blood glucose. He is starting to manifest psychosomatic symptoms of diabetes. He is really scared of losing limbs and dying. I keep trying to keep him sane and assure him that we got this. We can reverse what's happening, and we can cure his diabetes before it's a real issue. I get that he's scared. I know how that feels.
We will take care of it, and I hope I can get him to trust me. I feel as though God gave me this answer to my weight problem at the right time to be able to help my husband cope with his high blood glucose report. He still hasn't followed up with the Doctor, so we don't know whether this number is a fluke or not. I still have hope, and I am trying to give him hope, too.
He doesn't share my beliefs, and to him, this is another proof that there is no God. He wonders how an omniscient being can possibly not foresee how our diets would change and design us better than we have been designed. I don't see it that way at all. We were given free will. We actually did this to ourselves through our collective choices, and now that I know there is a better way to allow my own body to work well and heal itself, I am on the right path to correct the bad choices of my forefathers.
Right now I am working on another extended fast that will continue for at least 48 hours, and likely more along the lines of 72 when I'm done. I started directly after my last meal at 6:30 AM on the 18th. I haven't eaten at all today, and I don't plan to eat tomorrow. The next meal will be on May 21st at around 6:00 AM. Between 6:30 AM on the 18th and 6:30 AM on the 21st, 72 hours will have elapsed.
While I had planned a 48-hour fast, and I wanted to skip just two meals, I will accomplish 72 hours, and still skip only two meals. OMAD makes tracking my fasting hours a bit confusing it seems. That's fine. I want to do a fast like this once a week. Not only will this help me achieve my goals faster, but I will also save a bunch on groceries!
My man is going to go keto with me, but I am not going to force him to also try fasting, too. This is already hard enough on him as it is. He is already mourning the loss of all of his favorite carbs. He went full carb beast mode last night on what we had in the freezer: a total of 18 pot stickers and 6 mini egg rolls. There were 12, but he couldn't finish them all. Starting this morning, he will be keto all the way. He wants to eat what I eat, but I eat far less than what he will need to eat. Also, he still has this weeks' worth of sandwiches to eat that I already made.
