🎇 " Frying " Day 03 / 14

🎇 yes. forecast seems to have been on the ball. we are in a warming trend, rain for two days but temperature holds than soars a bit

I do attempt to not lose track of items. thus below find a excerpt from February 13, 2025

{{  Results: Sunday weight 181 2 lb

Thursday weight 179 lb

And no this is not a one week trial. The intent is 2 months or total grumpiness whichever comes first 

Oh. beer gets left in for morale support 

History would indicate that 176 # is doable and 174 is a reach. However, the general story is losing weight and maintaining are different beasts

Thus a solid plan looking down the road is crucial. The current idea is a stage wise approach and allowing sufficient time to adjust to each level. I feel like # 176 is a reasonable sounding place but. . .....  }}

And the results are in after approx one month. The weigh in Thursday March 13 produced a 176.8 lb reading.

meaning that my weight has dropped a tiddle under 5 lb in the month.

I concentrated on using rice, potatoes as my main carbohydrate. more fruit and veg. And corn seems to be a regular item. The corn appears to bulk out my stool. Besides that I've always loved frozen corn [ esp Peaches and Cream var ]
Stuff gets left out as well. Cookies, pies and chips are avoided. Lately. M .. has been making muffins [ bran and banana ]and I will eat those 
I will eat bread but only sparingly. I mean store bought bread. I decided to leave out all the extra additives such as extra leaveners, sugars and preservatives.

Alright fans.  The last time that I was near 176 lb was February 2023. 
As mentioned, I set a time limit of 2 months. Thus nothing radical [ plus I left in beer, for morale ]

Little glitches have occurred such as overloading on sunflower seeds. The rationale was that the sunflower seeds take time to eat. Sunflower seeds are healthy but calorie rich. Apparently, very rich. I still eat the sunflower seeds but controlled usage.

I've been aching in the legs esp the left and for a week and bit have used the recumbent bike for motion [ therapy ] and extra activity

Hopefully, I will get a little less tubby and adopt some real changes in eating habits

Occasionally, I feel deprived. BUT when you can have a beer on a ' diet ' ? how bad can it be
