2019 Health Journey -- Day 130 (May 10th)

I'm doing fine. Have a check on your sugar intake.

We had fried fish for our lunch with rice:)

I had lox and cream cheese on toast for breakfast. I hope to hit the pool or cycle later today.

You have a tomorrow attitude. You need to make the change to a today attitude. Today you will make the change, not tomorrow. Today you will eat according to plan. Not tomorrow. When you change your attitude to today, you will see a change in your will power and will start seeing your blood sugar where it needs to be. When the orthopedic doctor told me he couldn't do knee replacement surgery because I was too overweight, I did something about it immediately. I found a food program that worked - Whole30. My cheat days in two years have amounted to about three days total. When I go shopping, I know the foods to stay away from. They aren't part of my diet. If I need something sweet, I create it from what is good and healthy for me. I know the substitutes that work to keep a healthy balance to my body. I have lost a total of 37 pounds. Right now I'm on a teeter-totter - up and down by four pounds, however, I can still see the difference in how I look. My body is slimming, and soon the scale will reflect more weight loss. Yesterday I had steak, eggs, and potatoes for breakfast and one banana. Lunch was meatballs in tomato sauce over riced broccoli. For dessert, I made myself my chocolate brownie mix that is 100% healthy. I am the only one who will make me eat what I need to because I alone know what it's going to take to get ready for the knee surgery I need. I'm still about two years away from that surgery. By the time I have it, I will be slim and I will have no need for an unhealthy diet as I have no cravings for anything unhealthy now. I know this is a long response, but I hope you don't take offense. You need to take charge of your life.

I had my same-old same-old. You know what you're doing; so I'm not going to comment on your eating habits. I do worry about you though. Have a good night.

I also had ice cream. I was busy yesterday. Have a good weekend.

I haven't had lunch today. I'll eat at night

This week, I have been really struggling with a low carb/high fat plan. It is quasi-keto, it is probably so butchered by me that it is more quasi-killing me; but I am losing weight well. The thing is, and this is the reason why I am commenting, I found that last weekend, when I gave myself a day off, was the catalyst for me to crave biscuits, chocolate, deserts. I had a stodgy and thoroughly nice lamb doner kebab last weekend and I think the turkish bread that came which it tipped me well and truly over the edge. Tomorrow is another day though. I will take a peek through your 2019 journey and hopefully you get some encouragement that I actually ate 20g of 85% dark chocolate for breakfast today.... 3.9g of carbs from my 20g daily limit.
