When: 215
What: 2 Rolled Tacos, PBBananaOatmeal Bowl, Don’t Remember
Done: 10pm
Exercise: Azalea Glen hr mountain hike
Observation: I seemed to have more energy on the hike than if I had eaten. I did have my coffee with a tblspooon of coconut oil.
Day 7
When 2pm
what: Chili/rice – four mouthfuls, ran out of time. piece of chocoloate with pb. quarter pounder with cheese. 3 lumpia. cup of ice cream.
Done 10pm
Exercise: 30 min walk: 30 min bike
Observation: 194lbs
It’s not working, but we’ll see. I guess you can just eat crap and exercise very little. It’s going to take more. I like the idea of working out before eating though. It always feels better. maybe i should do it before coffee too?
maybe i should quit coffee? I’ve been sleeping better and i don’t feel so tired all the time. i don’t know if it’s the fasting or the coffee. i’m only having one cup nowadays compared to my usual 2 or 3.
Day 6
When: 1pm
What: Chili on rice. Hot Dog. Burrito.
Done: 10:30
Observation: I am getting tired of being hungry in the morning. And, eating all this crap is not working. Today, I was back to 196.
We’ll see.
Day 5
When: 1:10pm
What: Leftover scavenge. Small slice of pizza. 5 chips will I waited for it to toast. Cupcake. They’ll be gone soon. Leftover from party. bowl of rice and veggie/meat chili. big bowl of ramen. (the fancy kind) dino nuggets
Done: 9pm then 11. I was hungry, i got up and had some dinonuggets.
Observations: I do miss breakfast, but more for psychological than hunger reasons. I’ve got fuel. I already ate it.
I drink a good amount of green tea. I think that helps more than water to curb appetite. Just pure green tea, nothing in it. No sugar. I make a big gallon jug of it. Drink it hot, cold and, my strange favorite, room temp.
Day 4
When: 1pm
What: Chili (meat chili, but heavy on the veggies) on rice, cupcake, two fish tacos, chicken adobo drumstick and mouthful of potatoes. Teacup of icecream. Old fashioned Vanilla. Yum.
Done: 9pm
Observations: Today I was hungry. Not too bad, but after changing my oil and dumping it at O’Reilly’s, I drove by McDonalds and almost pulled. Made it home and had the chili at 1.
Having ready food at hand is key.
Also, I do start each day with a coffee with half a tablespoon of coconut oil in it. Don’t ask. I’m sure I’ll explain at some point. Has to do with some of the other diets I’ve tried.
oh, I really start the day with a glass of water. How much? As much as I feel like. Sometimes it’s as lot, sometimes a little.
Day 3
When: 3pm
What: Pizza, cupcake, burger, small salad (gift from student’s parents at lesson)
Done: 9pm
Observation: I really liked the salad. The burger too! I think as this progresses I’ll make my way to healthier and healthier choices.
I was actually kind of overstuffed at 9. maybe too much wheat? too much cupcake? didn’t like it. will try to avoid in future.
I’ve noticed that by about 12 or 1pm, my tongue starts tasting weird. Funky. Something is happening at this point. I hope it’s extreme fat burning. I think it may ketosis, but, ah, I don’t care about all that jumbo right now.
Day 2
When: 3pm
What: Pizza!
Done: 9pm
Observations: I really hope this works. This is cool.
Day 1
I didn’t start this blog till Day 4, so I’ve got some catchup to do.
When: Ate first at 3:30pm
What: I pigged out. Had pulled pork, couple of beers, cupcake, mac and cheese, another cupcake later.
Done: Didn’t eat after 9.
Observations: I like this program. Won’t call it a diet. I didn’t.
You Already Ate It
The whole idea behind this blog is to see what works. I am trying to lose weight and do it in a way that I can maintain.
“You already ate it” is what I tell myself when I’m hungry. I’ll get more into this later.
Part of the problem is that I think of food as fun. And, it is. It’s also therapy, or a drug. Food makes us happy. I’ve got to switch my thinking for a bit. Maybe. Food is fuel. And I’ve already loaded up on fuel. I’m carrying around a few extra barrels of fuel. I can live on those for a while.
I’ll give a little history of the latest attempt and maybe some background, too.
I started at 200lbs. I’m 5’8″. Did some other dieting, lost five pounds. Then nothing for a couple of months. Even trying other diets in there.
I’m 194lbs right now.
Right now, I’m trying Intermittent fasting. I’m on day 4.
Ballad of the Most Successful Caveman Ever
Wakes up, rolls over, walks to front of cave and stuffs some eggs in his mouth. Nobody steals them.
Walks out the cave and grabs some pancakes of the pancake bush and scoops up some bacon beetles.
