Day 14 – Strong Slide into the Weekend

• Weight – 265 lbs
• Blood Pressure – 138/89
• Resting Pulse Rate – 53

The problem with dieting is trying to keep the hunger factor to a minimum.  Yesterday I managed 1517 calories while keeping the carbs at a net total of 14.  I broke through the plateau.  Let’s see what the next few days brings.  The weekend is always rough.

I added a new supplement to my daily diet, actually two supplements so we’ll see how that affects my overall well being.  Right now I am  cautiously encouraged by my small progress.

Down 3 pounds from Last week

Why the heck do I bother with this, I don’t know.  I’m down three pounds from last week, but down only two pounds for the year…that is extremely pitiful.  Under the circumstances, I think that’s pretty good, as the last five months have been the worst period of  my life.   My greatest loss is Mrs F moving out.  She was my soul mate but I guess we drove each other over the edge.  Well, enough whining.

Maybe if I am lucky, I can now focus on this dieting thing and proceed forth trying to lose 100 pounds.   Right now I will focus on walking over 10,000 steps per day, listening to nutritional podcasts,  very hard rock, the blues, and chill music, and keeping track of my food.  I’m two days into  restarting my diet and it’s been rough.

I watched Little Miss Sunshine today and it was excellent.  My big mistake today was eating hard boiled eggs with Mrs Dash instead of salt.  That made me gag.   GROSS!  I am still feeling a slight turn in my stomach.

My supplements right now are:

Aspirin
Vitamin Pill
CoQ10
Potassium
Fish Oil

It’s  time to go out and walk again and then prepare for work.
