Day 2 of a planned 2 days of eating
Blood sugar 99 mg/dL

Yesterday I ‘let loose’ and just ate as many carbs as I wanted. I still went on a 5 mile run, but, I gained 3 lbs. If I can hold my weight gain to only 3 pounds for the weekend, I will consider that a success because I lost 7 pounds over the past 4 days (actually 7 pounds in 3 days and stayed steady one day). A 4 pound net loss for 4 days would be *Steller* 😊

To try to achieve this, I plan to not have my morning “Protein Coffee” (300 calories/3 carbs). I love it, but, I really think this ‘sabotages my day’ because it ‘breaks my overnight fast’ and ‘carbs me up’ and later ‘makes me hungry’. I didn’t have it during the past week and the results were better than I have had in over 3 months.

I have a dinner planned tonight, so I will go to the gym, run 5 miles afterwards, and only eat at the dinner tonight. I plan to 'let lose' again, so, I still may gain a pound or two. Oh well, I am having a lot of fun with family and friends this weekend and I am really enjoying myself :)

A side note, many of us who average around 1k calories a day are ALSO doing low carb. High carb on 1k calories a day would not work for me because I would constantly feel hungry. Also, different bodies behave differently. I’m 50 years old, I cannot eat as many calories and carbs as I did when I was in my 30s and not be “Obese”. Say what you want about the BMI calculation, but, for me, “Obese” is always ‘not what I want’. At 5’8” anything above 198 pounds makes me “Obese”.

Why does this matter so much to me? Yesterday I was able to run 5 miles in 46 minutes. I simply cannot do that when I am “Obese”. When I can do that, I am able to walk up the stairs at work without being out of breath. I can get in and out of the car without risking injury. I have friends in their 50’s who are on a ‘cocktail’ of medications and can barely walk. So, for me, not being “Obese”, and being able to actually run 5 miles, is the best thing I can do for my health.

Anyway, Monday, back to the normal diet. This time I plan to ‘water fast’ on Monday, and then ‘no solid food fast’ the rest of the week.

😎 Life is Good! Have a great day everyone!
