DAY 77 - 2016 WEIGHT LOSS AND BLOOD GLUCOSE CHALLENGE

Christmas Eve 2015

Today is Day 77

Weight goal - 138.8 or lower
Actual weight - 139.4

Blood glucose goal - 79 or lower
Actual blood glucose - 83

Today is a Special Feast Day!



For me, that means a ketogenic diet - high fat, moderate protein and very low carb.  Each day, I will weigh in, check my fasting blood glucose, find out if I will feast or fast that day, update my chart and post it here on the big blog. I'm posting it to motivate myself not to give up, and if I think that anyone is looking at this, it will help to keep me accountable.

Today is St. Patrick's Day, and although I slightly missed my goals, I am eating.  Corned beef and cabbage tonight!  I will probably have to fast two days in a row after this to get back to goal.

76 DAYS DOWN AND 15 DAYS TO GO

50 FEAST DAYS AND 27 FAST DAYS - FASTING 35% OF THE DAYS

14.6 POUNDS GONE AND 3.4 POUNDS TO GO

81% OF THE WAY TO MY GOAL AFTER 85% OF THE DAYS

7-DAY AVERAGE WEIGHT - 140.2

7-DAY AVERAGE FASTING BLOOD GLUCOSE - 87

I made a few charts to track my progress.  The grey lines are my long term goals. The blue lines are my actual results.  The red lines are my 7-day averages. The last chart is a little heat map to show at a glance how often I have actually had to fast to achieve the results I am after. Click on any chart or photo to enlarge it.

This is a personal challenge just for me, but if anyone reading would like to join me, please talk to your doctor and make sure that it will not conflict with your current medical condition or medications.  If you are taking the challenge, please be sure to let me know how you are doing!  Thanks for reading!
