This post reminds me of the short story I wrote: Early November in Friarville

Don’t ask me why. It just does. Another month is over and my weight for the end of November is officially 295.4. It’s been a great month with some decent weight loss. And, it seems as if I might be able to go off the Glucophage soon as my blood sugar has been averaging around 110 which is good. Maybe I can finally fight the blood sugar levels on my own, without medication. I’ll find out later in December.

I was watching a report the other day that said if it wasn’t for the fat content, dark chocolate is good for you. They did a study in which they gave people white chocolate and another group dark chocolate. The people who ate the dark chocolate had lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, etc. by the end of the trial while the people who had white chocolate had no differences.

So, I decided to buy some dark chocolate. Since I’m supposed to have some fat throughout the day, I eat a few of the dark chocolate Hershey’s Kisses. It’s just enough to sooth my sweet tooth, yet not enough to hurt my diet.

If you don’t go crazy eating tons of these kinds of foods, it’s quite possible to gain benefits without much of the problems.

So what was my version of splurging? Well, my wife kept saying that something was missing from Thanksgiving dinner. See, normally we have pecan pie, red velvet cake, and maybe one or two more desserts available. This year we didn’t. So we both decided that we needed a dessert and heck with the diet. I had made it passed the 300 mark. I felt I deserved to splurge. So she bought one of those cheesecake samplers. You know the ones. They have like 4 kinds of cheesecake all in one. Well, I ate 2 slices. I know. I know. That sounds like a lot, and truly it was. That was about 1000 calories for both. It was also about 100 grams of carbs for both.

But here’s the “kind of” part: I ate normally except for those two slices. But I didn’t have a second snack. And for my final meal I didn’t have my normal bowl of oatmeal. Instead I had one small Slim-Fast bar with oatmeal in it. So how did those slices of cheesecake mess with my numbers? For that, you’ll have to read my next diary entry for the 24th of November. The numbers below are my morning numbers from the day after Thanksgiving (23rd of November).

What’s AdSurfari, you ask? It’s a pay-per-click advertising network. However, it shares the income with people who surf to the sites. I’ve been offering surfers 100% share of my income since I started there. The admins took that kindly and decided to feature my site. Following is a screen shot of the feature:

Since they’ve been so kind to me, I figured I just had to return the favor and blog about them. The service is great. You’re basically guaranteed to get clicks and they are constantly updating their web site to provide more features. If you’re looking to get more traffic or to earn a little money by being a publisher or even just a surfer, make sure to give them a visit. They are relatively new and could use a few good people.

I’ve been told a thousand times that if you’ve reached a goal in your weight loss you should be allowed to splurge. I planned on today being that day, and well, I still didn’t splurge. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I think it’s partially because of this blog. I hate it when my weight goes up on this thing because I want weight loss progress to always be shown. I want it to be a place where you can see exactly what a person who is losing weight is doing to lose that weight in as much detail as possible. So, I wanted to splurge, but I wanted to not splurge even more.

I did find out that my body likes it better when I spread out my meals over the entire course of the day instead of trying to have everything eaten by a certain time. That schedule change I so desperately tried to do just didn’t work. I’m back to “wehn I feel like it” with my meals, and my body is liking that much better.
