JoshFS's Journal, 20 June 2016

Hello FatSecret community. Today I currently weighed in at 185.8. My last weigh in was on June 10th, I weighed in at 188.6. Since January 18th of this year I've lost over 50 pounds in a 5 month period. I really didn't have an agenda for this journal, except for that I said I'd weigh in again today since the previous journal. This month I was shooting for weighing in every 10 days until the end of the month. I had a good weekend in the form of dieting. Thursday night at midnight, I started fasting until 11:00 pm Friday night. A 23 hours fast. I broke my fast by eating 500 plus calories of breakfast sausage links and a few slices of swiss cheese. On Saturday I only had 30 grams of carbs in the form of 3 small hard candies and a Coors non alcoholic beer. The beer only has 66 calories, because there is no alcohol in it. I also ate a can of Salmon which contains no carbs, just lots of protein. Sunday by 11:30 in the morning I was hungry for corned beef. I had been hesitant to buy corned beef days prior, because it runs between 5 to $ 6.00 for a 12 ounce can. I simply thought that the price was to high until I decided to buy a can for Sunday. Well I learned that a can of corned beef is worth it in that it packs a 700 calorie punch in the form of protein and fat. And by the time I was 3/4 ways done eating my corned beef I was getting full. And I said to my self, wow this is going to keep me full for the rest of the day. And so it did. A few hours after eating , I went with my wife to the theatre, to watch Central Intelligence. It was a good movie, it had action and was funny. And that was my weekend. Today I was happy with my weigh in and decided to eat out. So I had enchiladas with chips and salsa about 12:30 pm, my food kept me full for about 6 hours. I was outside today and it was a hot day. I should of took ice water with me while being outside working today. So when I got home I was craving a cold non alcoholic beer. I can't drink alcoholic beverages, because it aggravates my gout. So I had a non alcoholic beer and went into town again bought more, because I was thirsty today. I wanted carbonation without a sweet taste. I already have diet sodas, zero calorie green tea, and no calorie koolaid. The zero calorie tea I have really helps with thirst when you drink it in a big glass with ice. Today is the 1st day of summer and it's going to be hot here at least until september. I also bought a closeable 2.2 liter bottle for water. It is already in the fridge with water in it, for when I want to drink strait up cold water. I got some new coffee as well, I will try it out tomorrow. Well I posted pictures of my food and drink from the weekend plus my restaurant meal today and one photo of the game room in the theatre. I used imgur.com for the 1st time today vs photobucket. Imgur is so much faster and neater. I will probably just weigh in again for the 4th of July, unless I can hit the 180 pound mark sooner. I wish you all the best of luck for the summer.
