- The arthritis pain in my right hand has diminished slightly, as has the pain in my left foot.
- I was not hungry until time to eat, and even then, it was very mild.
- I had energy and did not feel sleepy in the middle of the day.
- My blood sugar was 85 an hour and a half after eating.
- I did not have a great day in the bathroom. Lots of activity, but mostly very loose.
- I slept through the night.
- I went to bed at 10:00 last night and woke up to the alarm this morning at 4:15 feeling refreshed and ready to start my day, and I was not starving when I woke up.
- I lost 0.8 pounds yesterday for a total loss of 1.4 pounds in 2 days. To get back to my goal weight, I need to lose 10.4 more pounds.
Current weight - 146.4
Goal weight - 136
Every time I start something new, I usually take all my measurements and keep detailed charts of my progress. This time, I am going to try to be a little less intense about it. I will weigh in the morning, and not take my measurements. What I will do to track my body size is this: I found a size 10 pair of shorts in my closet that I have not worn in a while because they are old and worn out looking. But they will make a great low-tech measuring tool. Right now, I can get them on, but I cannot button them. If all goes as planned, by the time I reach my goal, they should be able to be buttoned and also be a little loose.
I normally eat like this:
135g fat (78%)
57g protein
28g carbs
Yesterday, I ate like this:
129g fat (59%)
133g protein
69g carbs
I am a little concerned about the amount of protein I am eating, but I am losing weight, so I will try not to worry about it unless I stop losing weight.
I had shakes for breakfast and lunch that were comprised of coconut milk, water, non-dairy protein powder, ground flax seed, raw kale, frozen strawberries and a few drops of Stevia. I am totally used to the taste and I look forward to my shakes.
For dinner, I had a grilled pork chop with sea salt and garlic powder, and roasted asparagus with sea salt and a little bit of coconut oil, and two slices of bacon.
Giving up butter has been hard. I used to put butter on everything, and now I am at a loss for what kind of healthy fat to add to my meat and veggies. I thought about bacon grease, but it turned out that my husband THREW IT AWAY when we moved to our new house last week. I asked him what he was thinking. He does not know. Sheesh. So I fried up a couple of slices of bacon, ate the bacon and saved the grease for meat and veggie toppings.
Yesterday, I ate breakfast at 7 am, lunch at 1:30 pm and dinner at 7 pm. I did not feel like snacking after dinner.
I drank 72 oz. of water, but never within an hour before eating or an hour after eating, in order to not dilute my stomach acid.
