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:
