Weight Log

Day 0 August 29, 2015...235 lb.
Day 1 August 30, 2015...235 lb.
Day 2 August 31, 2015...230 lb.
Note: I try to refrain from mentioning my bowels and matters related to such but the 5 oz. of unpasteurized sauerkraut caused diarrhea and that might account for the rapid weight loss.

Restarting Diet: 235 Lb.

Day 0 August 29, 2015...235 lb. Note: Eating what I want today. I am not a finicky eater and that was a rotten dinner. Store-bought cole slaw was getting old and the hot dogs were yecch. I read the hot dog contents after I had eaten two and I barely got past the "mechanically separated meat from one or more sources..." Yum! Here is a pearl of wisdom: House brands are good for most things but not meat. Pay the extra nickel and buy Nathan's or Hebrew National or Ball Park. And remember that franfurters and hot dogs and wieners are not all the same thing. Eat franks!

Weighs 234 Lb.

I cannot say that I formally restarted the diet. I had to attend all-day conferences on July 22 and July 29. Food--good food--was provided. I was not going to even attempt to stay on diet those days.

Then I had house guests at the end of July so I could not stay on diet. There was a baptism, a baptism party and leftovers.

Then I had a few work-related lunches.

Yes, and my will power failed me a few times.

So, even with minimal commitment I lost six pounds (6 lb.) in 27 days (my last repost July 20.)

Not bad.

Hope to restart the diet in earnest this week.

Diet Restart

Day 0 July 20, 2015...240 lb.

Back From Mini Vacay: Gained 2 Pounds

I left weighing 238 and returned 240. Not bad.

Putting The Die Back In Diet or 4 Pounds In 3 Days

I started following the diet strictly and it seems to make a difference.

To reiterate I was stuck at or around 242 for a few weeks. In that time I ate a little too much fat and consumed a few too many calories. I reverted to the original plan with a few modifications. I have substituted cherries and plums for apples and oranges because the latter two are out of season. You can still find some of last year's crop but they are not as tasty as the fresh fruit.

I will be taking a mini-vacay this week and I plan to eat heartily at that time. Upon return I will start Phase II, which will be a lot like Phase I but without much cheating.

Day 41, July 8...242 lb.
Day 42, July 9...242 lb. (Recommitted to following diet closely)
Day 43, July 10...240 lb.
Day 44, July 11...238 lb.
