DAY 69 - 2016 WEIGHT LOSS AND BLOOD GLUCOSE CHALLENGE

Christmas Eve 2015

Today is Day 69

Weight goal - 140.4 or lower
Actual weight - 140 - NEW LOW

Blood glucose goal - 81 or lower
Actual blood glucose - 71

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.

This past two days of fasting was not fun.  But the result was good.  I made a new low on my weight and my FBG is down.  You better believe that I'm going to feast today!

68 DAYS DOWN AND 23 DAYS TO GO

45 FEAST DAYS AND 23 FAST DAYS - FASTING 34% OF THE DAYS

14 POUNDS GONE AND 4 POUNDS TO GO

78% OF THE WAY TO MY GOAL AFTER 76% OF THE DAYS

7-DAY AVERAGE WEIGHT - 141.9

7-DAY AVERAGE FASTING BLOOD GLUCOSE - 79

I made a few charts to track my progress.  The grey lines are my long term goals. The blue lines are my actual results.  The red lines are my 7-day averages. 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!
