I certainly wouldn’t recommend being sick as a way to lose weight, but I have had a bad cold this week and really haven’t have much to eat. But, I was still surprised when I got on the scale and I’m at 297! I’ve broken the 300 mark – yipeeeeee – and I lost three pounds this week. Incredible.

Friday Weigh-In – 3/26

I have to say I’m surprised I’ve lost anything because I was so off the program, but, I’m at 300, so I did lose another pound this week.

I know what my problem is – I don’t have anything here to eat for most meals so I have to get some groceries in here and stop going out to get food. I have figured out how to eat out that’s pretty good, like ordering salads, making sure that I don’t use high carb dressings (or use no dressings) and even when I do order a cheeseburger I don’t eat the bun. But, time to get back to making stuff at home.

Weigh-In 3-19

Today my weigh-in was 301. A bit disappointing since about mid week I snuck a weigh-in and was at 300. So, I could have lost 2 lb but it’s just one pound. I know what I did – too many carbs. So, I’m doing much better today – had a nice salad for lunch and will get some groceries in here so I don’t have an excuse to go out and get things that have too many carbs with them.

I’m getting so close to breaking the 300 mark – I hope it’s next week!

Friday Weigh-In 3-12

This week I’m at 302. Not as good as last week, but at least I’m down another pound. I know I wasn’t as “good” as I was last week about staying away from too many carbs. I was kind of concerned that I might not have lost any or gained. But, one pound is one pound. I’ll do much better this comimg week. One thing I need to start doing is drinking more water. I tend to prefer iced tea. So, my goal for this coming week is to have at least four 8 oz glasses of water a day. Will report next Friday how I’m doing.

My blood glucose readings have been very good. Though, one day I tested my blood, hadn’t had anything to eat except bacon and eggs, and right before lunch my reading was about 135. Then an hour or so after my lunch (a salad) my reading was 107. That just seems weird. But, at least it’s not some kind of astronomical number.

Also, to my son, Dave, Happy Birthday!

Update – Finally!

I did it. I broke that 300 barrier. I’m somewhere between 298 and 299 – but it’s under 300. What a relief. It seems like it’s taking forever to lose the weight – but at least things are moving downward.

Glucose this morning was 91. Didn’t feel great, but didn’t seem to have the terrible reactions I’ve had when it gets down into the 80s.

Let’s see, there are 14 weeks left in the year. I would really like to be 280 by the end of this year. It’s a weight I was at for a long time and think it might be one of those “set weights” that I used to read about. It’s a big hunk of weight considering how long it’s taken me to lose ten pounds, but I’m going to shoot for it.

Thanks to anyone who is following this.
