DAY 35 - 2016 WEIGHT LOSS AND BLOOD GLUCOSE CHALLENGE

Christmas Eve 2015

Today is Day 35

Weight goal - 147.2 or lower
Actual weight - 145

Blood glucose goal - 89 or lower
Actual blood glucose - 87

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.

I'm going to a combined birthday luncheon for a high school chum and myself.  There will be four of us "girls" that were besties in high school.  I'll eat a light breakfast, then the luncheon, and if I am hungry when I get home, I might have a little something.  Wish me luck with my will power!

34 DAYS DOWN AND 57 DAYS TO GO

27 FEAST DAYS AND 8 FAST DAYS - FASTING 23% OF THE DAYS

9 POUNDS GONE AND 9 POUNDS TO GO

50% OF THE WAY TO MY GOAL AFTER 38% OF THE DAYS

AVERAGE WEIGHT SO FAR - 148.3     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 have actually had to fast to achieve the results I am after.

This is a personal challenge just for me, but if anyone reading would like to join me, please talk to your doctor and make sure that it will not conflict with your current medical condition or medications.  If you are taking the challenge, please be sure to let me know how you are doing!  Thanks for reading!
