Wow, another large overnight loss (~2#) I'm down to within 3 pounds of my life goal weight. But, I can't help to think that my current life situation is helping in the loss, and I mean that in a negative way. Yeah I blame Donald Trump for my weight loss.
You see, I am Republican and my wife is Democrat, though we both voted for Hillary Clinton. We both are moderate centrists, me A bit right and she a bit left, what I would call typical American voters... though, I don't know if many typical voters exist today, so maybe that's an outdated term.
She is been acting more and more irregular and irrational since the election day. And, since inauguration the irrational behavior has spiked. So… I am very concerned, worried, thinking of how best to help her… Chill out. She loves her new (1.5 year) job, she loves being in LA, and now… She loves me being away from the apartment, like now when I am in Florida working on our rental house.
She likes being alone with our Son so much in fact that, yesterday she stated explicitly that she wants me to find an apartment nearby and live separately from her and our, my boy.
So, I think it's perfectly natural that I have experienced and increased angst, worry, though I am doing pretty well with centering myself and staying focused on this rehab, rental preparation project. It's probably quelling my appetite and making it easier to not cheat, not fall off the wagon, whatever you want to call that.
The good news: my labs came back. My blood lipids are much better, In fact the doctor is nearly amazed at how well I have normalized through diet and exercise. She says this is the way it should be done.
I credit the most recent blood labs changes to my shift to a largely non-Meat diet of food in. For example, eating more tofu, more crucifer greens, staying really good with carb compliance, and of course the Donald Trump effect LOL. And, the "wife effect" is in full force meaning I have little money and can't afford the high cost of meat, though I am buying and shopping Smart and can buy some meat when it's on sale.
Also, this month I started substituting butter with HEmp oil. Again the wife effect...and a bottle of rarely used hemp oil was staring me in the face every time I open the refrigerator, LOL.
Anyone have any information about hemp oil, experiences stories, whatever? I am interested.
Anyway, it's back to the grind, Trying to keep a stiff upper lip, enjoy the lovely sunshine today here in Florida, keep my eye on the prize, and all the other bullshit trite sayings we tell ourselves to stay on the fucking path.
