2018 JUL 11 -- Day 91

I ate today. My weight has gone up again. How far will it go? I gained an entire pound which is unexpected, but it's better than gaining 4 or 5 lbs in just a day. Hopefully it won't get much higher before it starts to go back down again. Today i ate the same salad that my husband ate. It was a steak salad. We still had some of that roast I made for him in the pressure cooker the day before last. It was good. Was it worth gaining a pound, though?

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 343.6 lbs ⇧ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

 I wish that I could build up my stamina a bit more than what it is. I'm okay through most of grocery shopping, but usually by the time we get out to the car, I need to sit down. A few times I have been ale to help my husband load the groceries into the trunk and then put the cart away in the cart return. I really want to start walking or bowling or doing something a bit more active to see if I can build up my stamina with the added benefit of kicking my weight loss into high gear.
I plan to make some delicious-sounding keto meatballs with low-carb marinara and melted mozzarella for dinner tomorrow. That sounds amazing. I haven't been as strict with the counting of every little protein and fat calorie, but I am still keenly aware of the number of carbs we are consuming.

I'm eating twice on eating days. My husband has cut his consumption down to one meal a day to see if he can start to lose weight. I'm struggling to figure out what will work for him with regard to weight loss. I know what works for me, but he is a puzzle, for sure.

My husband is an enigma graph:

2017 OCT 25 -- Day 67

I don't have much to say today. I thought I had beaten the plateau, but it is still going strong. I'm the same weight today as I was yesterday. This is not fun, but now I sound like a bit of a broken record. I'm not going to say much today, so I'll share a recipe. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight: 378.2 lbs Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  359 lbs Japanese-style Ginger Salad Dressing This goes well as a coleslaw dressing. I've used it with a mix of classic cabbage slaw and Asian-style broccoli slaw. 1-1/2 C chopped yellow onion 1 C peanut oil 1/2 C rice wine vinegar 1/2 C water 3 tsp fresh ginger root, minced or grated 3-1/2 tsp fresh garlic, minced or grated 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 4 tbsp lemon juice 4 tsp sugar 4 tsp soy sauce 4 tsp ground mustard 4 tsp sesame seeds Place all ingredients except sesame seeds into a small food processor and pulse for 1 minute, or until desired consistency.  Stir in sesame seeds.

2018 JUN 15 -- Day 65

The weight is coming down. I'm down by 1.4 lbs today from where I was yesterday. It still doesn't make up for the 9 lbs in total that I gained from just one weekend of eating, but it is going to take some time to get that back off. I really want it to come off as quickly as it came on, but we all know that will probably not happen. If I want something, that's the surest way to make sure it doesn't happen! LOL Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  356.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I have been watching videos on YouTube about how people are shedding their pounds, and it is all very counter-intuitive to what I have learned from Doctors Fung and Berg. But it appears to have worked for these YouTubers, so who am I to judge or criticize what they have chosen to do? A lot of it is a variation on either the eat less; move more (ELMM) theory, or the calories in, calories out  (CICO) theory. I hope for their sak...

2017 AUG 30 -- Day 11

I weighed myself before work again tonight. I like these lower numbers. I'm pretty sure this is due to not eating during sleep for at least 6 hours. Whatever the case, I'll take it! Yay! Low number! Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  406.4 lbs  ⇩  Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  399 lbs I'm at work. It's 10:30 PM. I've been feeling the hungry growly monster in my tummy, but I've been ignoring him... until now. I'm eating my sandwich. According to the book, you are only supposed to feel hungry when you're body is below its set-point. Is my set point higher than 406.4 lbs? Wow! I need to find out how to lower that a lot faster. How can I make it 145 lbs? LOL. I know the answer to this. It gradually becomes lower over time; I must be patient. The trend is still downward on the whole, but right now it is still well above the first measurement I took at 404.8 the day I got my scale. It's going down, and I saw 406.4 lbs today ...
