You Already Ate It

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.

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.

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

When: 3pm

What: Pizza!

Done: 9pm

Observations:  I really hope this works.  This is cool.

 

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.

 

 

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.

and so on and so on
