Today is the third day of low carb eating. Last night was a little rough and I almost
once again did not get past of the first two days without caving in. What saved me was the cat was begging for
food and I did not have any food left for her so I opened a can of tuna and
shared it with her. For some reason, I
have been very nauseated today. When I was in the Walmart, I felt faint and was
sweating. As soon as I got home, I ate a
pickle to get the sodium. I had a
feeling that my sodium level was too low.
I do take a blood pressure pill that has a diuretic in it. I think I just
got too dehydrated. I started to feel
better once I had eaten something with higher sodium content.
We are going to a party tonight which at this stage I am
not too happy. I do not like to drink so
much liquid (diet coke and water – real late at night as it will register as
water weight tomorrow morning. I plan on
cooking dinner before we go so that I am not tempted to eat anything there.
(NOTHING will be low carb)
As for my food journaling, I have not been able to track my
food as closely as I like. I did it on
the first day (July 2) but the last two days have been erratic eating. What I have been eating is all low carb
though so I have been losing the water weight you lose when starting low carb.
I am posting a picture to set up what I look like at the
start of this journey. Here in this
picture I weigh 232.6 lbs. I don’t have a picture of what I looked like at my
heaviest (261.8). I am currently 10 lbs.
lighter than I was when I got operated on May.
My goal date is October 24; this is 6 months since I saw the doctor for
my physical and to set up my operation.
I would like my loss to be 25 lbs. and hopefully the diet will improve
my blood work numbers.
