2018 MAY 26 -- Day 45

I accidentally broke my fast! Eek!

I was working on a 72-hours fast this time, and while I was fixing dinner for my man, I gave it a huge taste! I forgot I was fasting! LOL. It happened. I started over. I'm at about 15 hours of a new fast, and I really want to try to go for a lot longer than 72 hours if I can last. I'm sure I can.

The good news is that my weight is down a bit today from where it was yesterday. It's only down by point-two lbs, but down is down, and I'll take it!

Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 361.8 lbs 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

I can see the finish line on that short-term goal, but I just can't seem to reach it yet. I will. If I can remember that I'm fasting and not taste the food, I'll be fine!

The casserole I made was supposed to be a Quiche Florentine. I tried making a coconut-flour-bases shortbread crust from a recipe I found online. It was a total flop. That crust was the worst! I think the problem was two-fold: one, it called for far too much flour, and two, it used melted coconut oil instead of butter. I don't think I'll make the crust again. The quiche filling, however, was a different story entirely.

I put in bacon, ham, spinach, and feta cheese. It was delicious. The egg mixture was eggs and heavy whipping cream. It needed a little longer to cook than other quiche-type casseroles I make, and I attribute that to my use of heavy whipping cream instead of sour cream. I think I will make this again, but I will change the heavy whipping cream out for sour cream, and I will leave off the crust altogether. I don't think I need it. The quiche will hold together fine without it.

While I was making the ham, bacon, spinach, and feta mixture, I tasted a large spoonful of it! That's how I accidentally broke my fast. I was really tired as it took forever for me to make the crust, so I wasn't thinking too straight. I called it a wash, and I started my fast over after I ate a meal with my husband. He was too full to take the full serving of food I offered, and that means that the Keto plan is finally working. Soon, he will probably eating the same number of calories I eat. The calories don't matter anyhow.

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 ...
