and it was good, damnit. but, i think i want to live…
Ok, it’s been a while. We’re 3 1/2 months into Coronavirus lockdown, and I’ve been eating really badly. I was a cookie junkie for two months. I wasn’t doing great before this, and now it’s worse. I’m up to 213lbs. Ack. I started IF again. 16/8. But, I’m going to have to really control what I eat during the 8. I haven’t done that yet.
Ah, well. Here we go again. I need to lose weight. Make me more resistant to Covid19, too
ps. I never did 300 bikes rides. ugh.
Ok, the weight is bad. I eat like crap. Blood pressure bad. Got to exercise.
So, I’m going to do 300 bikes rides and see how it looks.
5/5/18 – 30 min/ lake murray, out and back. approx 7 mi i think.
ok. just checking in.
nothing to say. eating normal. a couple more veggies. 195lbs.
more to come.
200.8lbs
I only ate during the 12 hour window. Often shorter window. No sugar, no milk. Was down one pound during the week. It was back this morning.
I think I’m really going to have to just bite the freaking bullet and eat way, way less. Heck, this site is called “you already ate it.” I guess I did.
Ack.
Day 274! I should be skinny already. Crap.
ok, 200.8 lbs.
The new approach is to gradually build habits and routines until I become a healthy eater. Each week, or so, I’m going to add a new wrinkle till I’m superpoweredrawveganimmortal.
This week, I cut out sugar and started “time-restricted eating.” Sugar is obvious. Time restricted eating is a slightly less extreme version of intermittent fasting. Right now I’m on 12 hour eating window. Anything that can be metabolized counts, so, coffee counts, caffeine has to be metabolized.
I’ll stay at this for a while, then try to narrow the window. I guess the 9 hour window is ideal, but that’s a lot harder than you think. Easy, if you don’t include coffee. Very hard if you do.
So, I’ve got to learn how to this first. Then i’ll learn how to do it better.
Not sure what next week has in store, but I’ll gradually add new routines or habits.
I think the list is something like (but subject to change)
Get rid of:
Refined Carbs, grains, rice, milk.
Add:
Veggies (80%) meat/protein/fat (20%) These numbers are probably all wrong, but i’ll learn as I go.
I guess the whole idea is to build gradually instead of a radical transformation. Changing habits is hard. I guess the question is to do all at once, identity change, or gradually. I guess it just depends on the situation and person at that time.
Smoking had to be all at once. I couldn’t ween myself off. But, then, that was the only change I made.
ok, onward. I’ll try to update more. It might help me.
All 200.8 lbs of me.
Ok. Wow. Time flies.
So, Holidays came. I gave in, I gave up. I drugged out on food. I ate sugar, cookies, eggnog, brandy, pizza, burgers, whatever. And probably 100 pieces of lettuce.
11, if you don’t count those on the burgers.
So, here we go again.
oh. 200.8 lbs btw.
So, switching over to healthy foods is hard. I keep buying apples and then they rot, because I don’t eat them. I’d rather eat chips. So, in order to just make apples a habit, I’m going to eat an apple a day. It won’t replace chips right now, I just want to get used to apples. So ef’it, I’m eating both.
189.4
So, I didn’t lose 3 pounds in five days. Well, I did, but it can’t be fat. I have been exercising, but nothing major. Very little. One good hike and a few walks. I have been trying to eat about half of what I did on vacation. Maybe that’s it? I guess it’s water weight, or a lot of poo.
Still, it’s good to be back in the 180s, even if just barely. Goal is still somewhere down in the 160s.
Eventually, I will figure this out, and I can show people what worked for me.
192.5 lbs
Not surprising. I just came back from 10 solid days of pigging out on vacation. It was delicious. Clam chowder, lahbstah rolls, fried clams, ice cream, a few beers, cape cod chips continuously.
I am going to come up with a program I can actually keep. Incorporate the soup, of course, but I have to eat things I want to eat. As soon as I let myself have a break, I go back to eating all the things I love. I don’t want to live without all those things.
So, chowdahead, how about this? Try Moderation. And exercise. Novel idea! I’ll sell a million copies. Ok.
And, the power of Negative. Think about how tired you are of being fat.

So, this month I’ve been slipping backwards pretty bad. I’ve been bad stuff and too much. I can tell which is the real culprit yet, or if they are somehow related.
I’m at 189.5
So, does eating bad things alone make you fatter?
Or does eating too much of anything make you fatter?
or does eating bad things make you eat more and then make you fatter?
I started eating bread again. I think bread might make me want to eat more in general. I’ll have to experiment more.
I’ve eaten bread, pasta, fried food, ice cream, cookies, chips, all the bad stuff.
I think it’s just eating too much, and crap food makes you want to keep eating.
I guess I started eating crap again because I had stalled out the other way and figured, what the heck.
I’m going back on the wagon. And then going to run some experiments.
I’m also going to try and do two 30 minute walks a day. I need to.
ok. onward boombalati
