Pizza day! I love pizza day. But it is homemade, so toppings are carefully chosen to stay within my diet. Since there was beef on it, I didn’t take my protein supplement during those times. However, notice the weight. Just a few more days and I might just break through the 300 barrier. That will be cause for celebration.

Ahhh. I’m happy. The weight is going down again. You may also notice a new pill. It’s for my elbow. It used to hurt every once in a while, but the exercise is making it worse, so I finally gave in and told the doctor. She gave me pills. Hopefully it works. I don’t care for the alternative (surgery).

Blood sugar is good. Weight is a tiny bit higher than yesterday, but again, I figured that might happen. Otherwise, I think I’m on the right track. Had good blood pressure and such at the doctor’s and will know more about my blood work on Monday to see if I’ve been keeping my cholesterol down.

Yeah, I know, what the heck? That’s different! Well, I had to have blood drawn today, so I had to fast. So I didn’t get as much food. But that’s ok, look at my weight from this morning. Lost another pound and a half since yesterday. The new diet is working quite well. So with the exercise from today and the fasting, should be interesting tomorrow. Although it might go up a little because of the fact my body might get scared I’m not feeding it enough from the fasting today. We’ll have to see.

Yep. Tonight’s meal was a great meal. But look at that weight from this morning. 308.8. I think my new diet is doing rather well. Doing one more day of no exercise to fully see how it does on it’s own, but I think it’s fine. Also notice the low blood sugar. Hopefully that gets even lower. Tomorrow I try the strength training on the Biggest Loser workout video I have. I bought some 5 pound weights tonight to go with it. We’ll see how that goes. But right now, I’m quite happy. It seems as if I managed to traverse the plateau and am to losing more weight. Give me about a week or two and I’ll finally be below 300. Can’t wait.

So, I’ve added protein and removed milk. Also have plenty of oatmeal. My calories have dropped again. And I checked, I’m still getting plenty of all of my vitamins. So we’ll see how this goes. I’m trying it without the exercise for just a bit to see how it effects me without it.
