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:

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 ...
