Blood glucose goal - 89 or lower
Actual blood glucose - 81
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.
It's getting rather tiresome to keep recording everything I am eating, so unless I say that there was a change to the general way I eat, you can just assume that I am eating in the same way that I did for the first 20 days.
20 DAYS DOWN. 71 DAYS TO GO.
17 FEAST DAYS AND 4 FAST DAYS.
5.6 POUNDS GONE. 12.4 POUNDS TO GO.
31% OF THE WAY TO MY GOAL AFTER ONLY 23% OF THE DAYS!
AVERAGE WEIGHT SO FAR - 149.6 AVERAGE BLOOD GLUCOSE SO FAR - 87

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 to fast to achieve the results I am after.

I think you should add another color to your last chart that would denote fast days that were due to 'it's been a week...' rather than 'BS or weight was not satisfactory' (admittedly I have no clue how tricky that is....)
ReplyDeleteListen to me all telling you how you should make your charts - when I wouldn't know the first thing about making one ;-) Feel free to disregard my suggestion :D

It's funny you should say that. I was thinking the same thing last week. The only problem is that if there is another color besides green and red, people will wonder what that means. So I think I'll keep it simple. Thanks for the idea, though. Great minds think alike!
