2018 JUN 8 -- Day 58

Yep! Just as expected, my weight has gone into the rafters again. I am at 354.2 lbs again today. Overall, my loss for the month is still averaging about a half-a-pound-a-day, so I'm not mad. I'm curious to see what happens in the morning, though. I think I may have a hydration issue. I haven't been drinking a lot of water. I may need to start doing that. I'm just so afraid of depleting my electrolytes. I am still not confident I have the mix of electrolytes correct. I keep hearing different things from different sources. No one seems to agree on this. It seems like a simple question to me: how much of what do I need?

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 354.2 lbs ⇧ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

 My blood glucose was alarmingly high today, too. It was in the 170s. I just don't get it. I know I haven't been consuming carbohydrates in excess. I know I have been getting enough fats to cover my protein consumption, and I'm not overdoing the proteins. What is impacting my blood glucose so much? Why is it so high, and why will it not come down?

The only things I can think of are stress and dehydration. I have been experiencing extreme weakness lately. It seems to hit me in the mornings around 6 to 7 AM. This is also when I tend to have to use the restroom. I can't get rid of the stress. My whole life is basically just stress. I feel as though I never get any rest at all. Even when I'm not eating, I have to feed someone else, so I'm always having to cook and then clean up the mess afterwards.

I wish I could just do nothing at all for a while. It would be nice to not dirty the kitchen or the dishes, and then I wouldn't have to clean anything. That's unrealistic, though. It's just my lot in life to have to do so much work all the time. Couple that with the fact that I work a stressful full-time job, too. My life is just hard.

I'm looking forward to that far-off, mythical time when I will be done working graph:

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 ...
