Thursday - February 21st

Well, it’s official. I’m a fraud. My goal was to never step on the scale but last night I was clicking around the FS app and saw that calendar that does the math on food vs activity. I record my energy as sleeping 24 hours because I figure it can’t be any less than that especially with my 101 year old metabolism.

So I saw the calculation and it indicated I had a deficit equivalent to 12 pounds since I began recording in January. I was weak. For the good of science I dusted off the scale and tested the theory.

Now, I realize this won’t be absolute every month. It takes very little positive change to see results at this weight. Now I just need to find a way to hide that scale until the first of April. I feel a 30 day check in should be enough as long as I’m recording food and measuring other ways via how I feel and how clothes are fitting.

I’m quite content with this slower rate because it was never about the scale anyway. It was about the blood sugar. And not once can I recall a day in the past two months where I’ve felt hungry but restricted from doing anything about it or deprived from eating what I wanted.

Except cake. Sure, I miss cake. Well, I miss frosting. But I miss fruit more. And with the continued progress I’ll eventually be able to reintroduce those things back onto my grocery list.

249.0 lb Lost so far: 15.0 lb.    Still to go: 69.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
