2018 JUL 24 -- Day 104

I don't want to work today, but I have to. My weight is up by 0.6 lbs from yesterday. That's okay. It's odd, though, because it's my last day of a 5-day fast, and I would think I'd lose more weight. I chalk it up to stress at work. It has been really hectic.

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 338.6 lbs  
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

It could also be that I need to visit the porcelain fairy. I haven't in a while. This could explain my general "gross" feeling. I may be a bit backed up. What I'm hoping is that I can get rid of the backup and drop a good amount by doing so. That happens quite often. We'll see.

After this shift is over, I go home for my weekend. I will get to eat something. I am planning to make bacon-wrapped chicken thighs. They are tasty, but I'm really not feeling in the mood for food. I just don't want to eat. What should I do?

The plan is to make myself just one thigh. I'm making three for my husband. And I will eat a small portion of his large salad. I make a pretty good dressing with just salsa and sour cream, so I think I will make that for the ease of it.

All of this food sounds so tasty. And when I cook it or make it, it also smells like it's tasty. It doesn't make me feel hungry, though. I have no temptation to eat. Is this good or bad? I'm really not sure.

One thing I'm trying to do is get through more of Dr. Fung's book, The Obesity Code. There is a lot of really great information in there, and it's an enjoyable read, but I am really finding it hard to find time. When I have time to read, it's usually when I'm about to go to bed, and I get a few pages in and fall asleep. This is not the best method I've found for reading a book.

I love to read, but reading makes me sleepy 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 ...
