6 8 2012 The 5 Bite Diet Day 25

Good day all. My Spirits and Energy levels are good.

Just a few more days, then I will go on maintenance for awhile. How long? A couple of weeks ........ no more than a month..... or who knows? Then I will start another and maybe my last 30 day challenge. I just dont know at this time. It is way to early to guess.




Results thus far:

(Please let me know if I mess up on my math below, I might add or subtract incorrectly)

Day 01 = (0.0) = 00.0 lbs loss current weight: 190.0 lbs (just starting)
Day 02 = (2.0) = 02.0 lbs loss current weight: 188.0 lbs (nice)
Day 03 = (1.6) = 03.6 lbs loss current weight: 186.4 lbs (this is how we do it)
Day 04 = (1.8) = 05.4 lbs loss current weight: 184.6 lbs (lovely)
Day 05 = (1.2) = 06.6 lbs loss current weight: 183.4 lbs (interesting)
Day 06 = (1.8) = 08.4 lbs loss current weight: 181.6 lbs (oh, yeah)
Day 07 = (1.2) = 09.6 lbs loss current weight: 180.4 lbs (keep it coming)
Day 08 = (0.4) =  10.0 lbs loss current weight: 180.0 lbs (Battle On!!!)
Day 09 = (0.8) =  10.8 lbs loss current weight: 179.2 lbs (Yo!)
Day 10 = (0.8) =  11.6 lbs loss current weight: 178.4 lbs (OK?)
Day 11 = (1.0) =  12.6 lbs loss current weight: 177.4 lbs (OK part 2)
Day 12 = (1.2) =  13.8 lbs loss current weight: 176.2 lbs (OK part 3)
Day 13 = (0.8) =  14.6 lbs loss current weight: 175.4 lbs (Jeez)
Day 14 =(+4.0) = 10.6 lbs loss current weight: 179.4 lbs (Just Shoot Me)

Day 18 = (1.2) =  13.8 lbs loss current weight: 176.2 lbs (this is how we do it)
Day 19 = (1.0) =  14.8 lbs loss current weight: 175.2 lbs (talk to me)
Day 20 = (0.8) =  15.6 lbs loss current weight: 174.4 lbs (Oh my, my)
Day 21 = (1.0) =  16.6 lbs loss current weight: 173.4 lbs (all time LOW!)
Day 22 = (0.8) =  17.4 lbs loss current weight: 172.6 lbs (how low can you go?)
Day 23 = (1.0) =  18.4 lbs loss current weight: 171.6 lbs (My eyes have seen the glory)
Day 24 = (1.2) =  19.6 lbs loss current weight: 170.4 lbs (down, down, do your thing)
Day 25 = (0.8) =  20.4 lbs loss current weight: 169.6 lbs (Keep the Faith!!!)

OK so there it is, smooth? Yes, for the most part. I have to fight cravings here and there. I wish I could say that I did not want to eat more than I have. I have not gotten to the stage where I can say I feel mentally that I have eaten enough. Physically I do feel full or I would not have lasted this long.

Have a Healthy Day my Friends and Family. Time moves on and so do I.

Todays Menu: Black coffee, H20, Seltzer Water, Chorizo mixed with Eggs and T-Bone Steak.


Time after TIME

Cheers,

Dave

5 25 2012 The 5 Bite Diet Day 11

Top of the Morning all. Well, ... where it is morning that is, lol! My Spirits are soaring. My Energy levels are nice.

I am excited about my up and coming Spiritual Retreat next week. YES!!! I for one am a believer and I look forward for the fellowship that I receive from my brothers. Since this is not a place focused on religion I will only talk about it in passing, but it is a part of who I am. A BIG part.

OK yall I am down the stretch of week 2. Not a stellar performance I do agree, yet I have a consistency that I want. I just need to get the numbers better. Dr. Lewis at the "private forum" told me that maybe my "bites" were too big. I know I mentioned this in passing. So I will finish up this week the way I have been doing things and consider reducing my "bite size" along with substituting my first meal with the Bulletproof Coffee. I do know that I will actually try the Bulletproof Coffee tomorrow if I can just remember to pick up some Kerrygold Butter on the way home. It will be a test run.



Hey if I like it I just might do a jump start and continue. I just dont know. Lets see how it fares and I will let yall know.

Day 01 = (0.0) = 00.0 lbs loss current weight: 190.0 lbs (just starting)

Day 11  = (1.0) = 12.6 lbs loss current weight 177.4 lbs (OK part 2)

I really feel that I may be turning a corner at this time. Why? I really dont know it is just a feeling. A feeling? Well maybe it is a HOPE? I dont know. It is just there. OK not a real good description I know, but what can you do? HA!

QUESTION: should I be content with a rather steady rate of loss, although it is not as high of a rate as it could be or should I strive to increase the rate of loss? I am a bit torn about this. While on one hand I am OK with losing weight at this pace, an inner voice is saying "NO Dummy, kick it up a notch and GO FOR IT!!!"

In my Heart of Hearts I do believe I can step up to the plate and give it the "Ol College Try" So why not? Why not indeed!!! Did I just talk myself into doing this? Without any feedback. Am I talking to myself? Again? OK, yall dont call the guys dressed in white with those large butterfly nets. Hey I dont really care for those guys and they always have the worse, stale coffee in the world and............... HA!!!

No really, I think I just talked myself into doing this. Into what you may ask. I know I may have confused some out there so let me shed some light: I will be more cautious about the "bite size" of my 5 bites and I will give the Bulletproof Coffee a try as a replacement meal for my first meal of the day.

Ya know, that just might work. No, not the butterfly nets. Jeez yall are something else Ive gotta tell ya. HA! I am talking about the "bit size" adjustment and the Bulletproof coffee". I like the idea that I can just switch from my morning coffee to the Bulletproof version a little later in the day. I drink coffee until late morning most days anyway. Not a pot or two. I slowly drink about a half a pot a day.

 Hey, I am not one to shy away from experimenting or I would not be here. It is just my nature and you dont want to mess around with nature. Do you? OK, enough with the three ring act. Drum roll please! Life is too serious yall, Dont mind me if I mix business with pleasure.

Have a Healthy Day my Friends and Family. Today is in my hands, I will make today a Good Day.

Todays Menu: Black coffee, H20, Seltzer Water, Smoked Chicken with jalapeno sauce and Trail Mix.


The Choice is always YOURS

Cheers,

6 25 2012 Supplemental Home On the Range

Howdy yall! Spirits and Energy levels are good.

Sorry for the delay, but time is extremely sort right now. Real sort. I like all the suggestions given. Yet, I most likely can not comply at this time.

OK, I owe Pro(ZC)ac a response. For now I will mainly focus on Zero Carb...... for now. Fat? Well let me tell ya I just made the old standby: Fatty Beef Brisket. Yes, I did! I will not weigh myself at all during this time. I am a little sick of the scale at this point. Will I use it again? O hell to the double yes!!! Just not now.



I wont be doing a daily post or even an every other day post for now. That being said I will more than likely start to post more often next month (just around the corner). I will delay another "30 day challenge" until September or October. Why? Because I just want to wait and see how I am doing on Maintenance. This could change to an earlier time, but for now it will stand........... maybe........... HA!!!

I envy you Pro(ZC)ac and those of you who have it under control. I want the day that the scale goes out the door for good. I am not there yet. I will be, just not at this time. I really enjoy my time here posting and responding. I just dont have that kind of time right now. Will I disappear??? Will I fade away??? No way.

I am still Experimenting and trying to figure what works for me. I have whole other horizons to explore, many other adventures to experience and I do want to share. That should be obvious by now for those who read my posts regularly or who have searched and read the archives.

I will be around, that I promise. Right now is just not the best of times. This wont last forever and things will be different someday sooner or later. I have so much more that I want to do............ did I already mention that?

Thanks for all the emails of support and concern. It is really touching. I appreciate that and I want sent a big THANK YOU to those of you who took the time and effort to do so.

Have a Healthy Day my Friends and Family. Fight the Good Fight and Always Battle On!!!


Amarillo By Morning

Cheers,

Dave
