DAY 12 - 2016 WEIGHT LOSS AND BLOOD GLUCOSE CHALLENGE

Christmas Eve 2015

Today is Day 12.

Weight goal - 151.8 or lower
Actual weight - 147.6

Blood glucose goal - 89 or lower
Actual blood glucose - 68

Today is a Feast Day!


For me, that means a ketogenic diet - high fat, moderate protein and very low carb.  Each day, I will weigh in, check my fasting blood glucose, find out if I will feast or fast that day, update my chart and post it here on the big blog. I'm posting it to motivate myself not to give up, and if I think that anyone is looking at this, it will help to keep me accountable.

Yesterday, I had coffee and chai sweetened with Stevia, and water.  It was so cold outside that Bill and I took the day off and sat by the fire, watched movies and surfed the web.  Fasting was pretty easy yesterday, even with smelling the food that Bill fixed for himself!

11 DAYS DOWN.  80 DAYS TO GO.  9 FEAST DAYS AND 3 FAST DAYS.

6.4 POUNDS GONE.  11.6 POUNDS TO GO.  36% OF THE WAY TO MY GOAL! 

AVERAGE WEIGHT SO FAR - 150.6     AVERAGE BLOOD GLUCOSE SO FAR - 88

I made a few charts to track my progress.  The orange lines are my goals. The blue lines are my actual results.  The last chart is a little heat map to show at a glance how often I actually have had to fast to achieve the results I am after.
