DAY 9 2016 WEIGHT LOSS AND BLOOD GLUCOSE CHALLENGE

Today is Day 9.

Weight goal - 152.4 or lower
Actual weight - 148.6

Blood glucose goal - 89 or lower
Actual blood glucose - 68

Today is a Feast Day!


For me, that means a ketogenic diet - high fat, moderate protein and very low carb.  Each day, I will weigh in, check my fasting blood glucose, find out if I will feast or fast that day, update my chart and post it here on the big blog. Im posting it to motivate myself not to give up, and if I think that anyone is looking at this, it will help to keep me accountable.

Yesterday, I had water, beef broth with sea salt, coffee with Stevia and chai with Stevia.  I did not have fun fasting!  I was a little depressed all day and kept wishing I could eat, even though I was not really hungry.  Starting in late afternoon, I just felt like going to bed.

8 DAYS DOWN.  83 DAYS TO GO.  SO FAR, 7 FEAST DAYS AND 2 FAST DAYS.

I made a few charts to track my progress.  The orange lines are my goals. The blue lines are my actual results.  The last chart is a little heat map to show at a glance how often I actually have to fast to achieve the results I am after.
