Yesterday was 226.75; today I'm at 224.25. That's 2.5 pounds yesterday ... gone! I do love the start of a weight-loss journey...
I drank 100 oz H2O yesterday.
I was hungry yesterday. I therefore ate two more "fuelings" than I was scheduled to eat. Today's plan is for five "fuelings" and one "lean and green" meal comprising eggs and spinach (I do love a spinach omelette). And I'd better go get my first "fueling"; I'm hungry, but the bed needed to be made this morning (and it is indeed now relegated to the kitties for the day).

10/18/2019 Weigh In
220.0, down one pound from yesterday’s 221.0!
I have lost 9 pounds in two weeks! WIN!!
I had a hard time sticking to my Plan yesterday due to scheduling; I wasn’t hungry at all, probably because I was so busy. So the fish salad I was supposed to have for dinner morphed into an egg-white-and-spinach scramble ... which was quick, easy, and quite tasty and filling (who knew!).

Breakfast: Bran pancake, water

2 p.m.: Wasa, water

221.0, down 0.75 from yesterday’s 221.75.
Okay then! It’s coming off!
I varied from yesterday’s plan only by subbing a bowl of strawberries for the Orange last night. But this Plan is very, very easy to stick to. I don’t get hungry, cravings are in the background and quite manageable. I eat nine times per day, so feeding my need to eat something is satiated. Yeah, this plan works. And I feel good. I have more energy.

That's no surprise. I did, after all, drop over a pound between yesterday and the day before. Little bit by little bit.

10/10/2019 Weigh In
223.75, down from yesterday's 224.75.
A pound a day! Very, very nice! I'll take it! At that rate, I would be 70 pounds lighter in 70 days ... by Christmas. Yeah, like that's going to happen.
The reducing diet is going well. I'm a little hungry by meal times, but the meal satisfies. Yesterday's herbal teas kept me happy for snack in the morning. Today I'm doing fruit for a morning snack ... actually, for a top-off to breakfast, since I just woke up at 10 a.m. So the very first thing I get to do is drink three glasses of water, one with lemon juice in it, eat a bran pancake and ... oh, I'll eat an apple first thing.
Lunch is chicken salad and water. Right now, I have to thaw the chicken.
2 pm is herbal tea.
3 pm is Wasa and water.
Dinner will have to be early today; I have a Toastmasters meeting at 6, so dinner, fish (probably halibut tonight; I bought haddock, halibut and salmon yesterday), Wasa and water, will be at 5.
I'll get home from the Toastmasters meeting at about 8:45, at which point I'll have a bowl of strawberries and water.

10/7/2019 Weigh In
227.0, down from yesterday's 229.0.
That feels good. Two pounds gone in one day on the conditioning diet. Today begins the weight-loss diet. That's a whole different kettle of fish. Speaking of which, I'll be eating a lot of fish. And chicken.
As lovely as it is, the two-pounds-per-day thing will not last; I know that. I will hit plateaus, I will get frustrated, I will curse and vent and bitch and moan ... and the weight will come off. It just won't do it the way I want it to. Well, so be it. When needed, I'll do an egg-grapefruit day.
And it's time to get onto the NordicTrack. That will do at least two things: it will help the weight peel off and it will get me into shape for my Grand Plan for next summer.
It's also time to start taking advantage of the swimming membership I have at the gym. I love to swim. I love to be in the water. But it's something of a PITA to drive from Schenectady to Guilderland to do that.
Time to eat breakfast. Breakfast will be a glass of water, then a bran pancake (2 Tbsp unprocessed bran, 1 egg, some flavoring ... I'll use cinnamon) and a glass of lemon juice/water and vitamins. That'll keep me going til 10:30, at which point I'll have a pear and a glass of water. Then at noon I'll eat a salad with lots of lettuce and spinach and some chicken and a glass of water. At 3 pm, I'll have a Wasa and a glass of water. For dinner at 6, I'll have broiled salmon, lots of salad, Wasa and water. For snack at 7:30, I'll have an apple and water. And I'll spend the entire day peeing. When I get hungry in the evening, I'll climb on the NordicTrack and get my blood sugar cranked up with some exercise.
So ... that's the Plan for today.
UPDATE: I stuck to the Plan pretty well today. I added 1/2 cup Greek yogurt with almond extract and cocoa powder for dinner’s dessert and an orange at about 9:30 tonight. That’s not a bad plan; with those two additions, I did not feel hungry. And that makes me happy. It’ll slow down the weight loss somewhat if I continue those two cheats, but not significantly, I think.

Weighing In 9/13/2018
209.75. No change from yesterday.
I actually broke the diet regimen last night for dinner. I had Mick's maple salmon. The salmon is fine; the maple has SUGAR. Sugar is a total no-no on this regimen. Well, it's back to the straight and narrow today. Tomorrow I take my daughter and her boyfriend to Sushi X for lunch, then go to Concord for my law-school class reunion over the weekend. That, too, will break the regimen (though I will, of course, be sensible). So I'll do an egg-grapefruit day on Monday to get things back on track.
Going to the gym this morning to let Darryl beat me up and put me through the baseline exercise routine for the challenge. That will wear me out for the rest of the day.... I did the weigh-in on Tuesday, and that measures all kinds of things besides weight. It seems that I'm a bit dehydrated; I don't drink enough water. Divide your weight in half and that's the number of ounces of water you should drink per day. I'll NEVER get 105 ounces of water down my gullet in a day...that's another reason to lose the weight!
Toastmasters tonight! I'm talking, giving my icebreaker speech. And I'm Grammarian. I'm more nervous about the grammarian function than I am about the speech.

Weighing In 9/5/2018
212.0, down from yesterday's 212.75.
The water weight is clearly almost all off and the weight loss will slow down to a crawl as I lose fat rather than water.
Yesterday was a scheduling disaster. Breakfast and lunch were fine, and water intake was fine. But I ended up working in my office until 9:15, which put me home at 9:45, which gave me dinner at 10 pm. I can't do that again; I ended up being hungry by 8 pm. I need to get food for the office that I can eat for dinner in such times. Some canned shrimp will be good, and I can get veggies as I need them from the Price Chopper or Walmart that are nearby.
Dinner last night was delicious, though. Chicken and summer squash from the garden, stir fried with apple chunks and rosemary leaves. I did not eat a salad last night; had one of those for lunch. A bran muffin was dessert. So NICE to eat food I grew myself!!
Gotta get a shower before I start eating and drinking today.
