2018 JUL 27 -- Day 107

I feel a bit better today over how I felt yesterday, but my weight has gone up fairly significantly. Or perhaps it's down from what my actual weight was yesterday. I don't know. I didn't weight myself yesterday. So I'm working with the weight from the day before last, and I was at my lowest at that point. I hold out hope that my weight will drop from here now that I'm back to fasting again. I'm not a new 120-hour fast. It's still a net loss for the month, so I'm winning.

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 339.2 lbs  
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

The meal I shared with my husband was low-carb meatballs with marinara and mozzarella. To go with it, I made a fairly simply salad with a keto-friendly Italian dressing that I made and a dusting of Parmesan cheese. We also found some keto-friendly cheese crisps to use as croutons, too. The meal was very good.

I used a half-a-pound of ground beef to make 10 meat balls. I had four, and I gave six to my husband. I split a total of two cups of marinara sauce, four ounces of sliced baby Bella mushrooms, and eight ounces of Mozzarella cheese in similar fashion. It was like having pizza without the crust or pasta spaghetti and meatballs without the pasta. Personally, I don't miss pasta or bread. My husband would love to have something witch which we can sop up sauces, though.
The dressing for the salad had extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and a hint of yellow mustard. I think it could have used a little more salt, maybe, but it was pretty good and really well received. I had meant to add some black olives to my salad, but I forgot. It was excellent as a least meal before my fast.

I fell asleep a bit early. As a result, I was able to get up a bit early and have time to play a little Sims 4 on my XBox One before getting ready for work. That was quite relaxing. Typically, we wake up with just about a half an hour to get ready, and then we are under a lot of stress and pressure to do everything we need to do and leave on time. It felt a bit leisurely today. I liked that.

Having less stress and pressure before going to work is great 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 ...
