JoshFS's Journal, 01 September 2016

Hello FatSecret community. Today is the 1st of September, and I am happy to weigh in at 178.8 pounds. On June 19th I broke out of the 190 pound zone and weighed in at 186 pounds. Then on July 15th I weighed in as low as 181 pounds. After that, I took an unexpected break from my diet for the rest of July and most of August. I didn't gain weight, but I didn't lose either. I intermittent fasted what I could and ate the foods I wanted. Well it's good to eat the foods you want and maintain your current weight. But I still need to lose about 18 pounds to achieve a reasonable BMI / Body Mass Index number. So on the last week of August, I buckled down on my diet and broke out of the 180's. Today I pulled out a pound of pork sausage to eat after I break my fast. Total calories for the sausage comes out to 1260. That will be my meal and calories for the day. Below are pictures of food & some of the coffees I've purchased over the weeks. Snickerkicker is my favorite coffee, it taste like a snickers candy without the calories. The bag of espresso roast was whole coffee beans. I didn't know that, but I ground up the coffee beans in the blender then brewed the coffee to enjoy. The chicken soup picture was home made. It had chicken onions carrots celery & corn plus broth from the chicken. It was originally supposed to be chicken noodle soup, but my wife and I decide to omit the noodles & save them for stroganoff. The soup was good. Well I hope you all have a progressive September.

Great loss. Glad you took a few to maintain! Did the blender work on the coffee beans? That's funny! Keep up the good work and that sausage sounded like a nice way to break your fast.

Thanks Lizzygracemusic. Yes the blender did a good job. The ground coffee surfaced at the top of the blender until all the coffee beans ground up. It made a whirlpool effect. I shook the blender to bring the coffee back to the center, then made a second pass. Sausage was good.
