Day 6 was great, went to family Thanksgiving stayed on the diet but ate my fair share, no cravings to smoke and had one drink after dinner.
Week 3 day 7 arrived and I weighed in and I hadn’t lost a single pound. This has happened many times before on various diets at around the same weight. For some reason my body seems to like the 255 pound range. I may need to go with fewer calories than 1600 a day but not until after I get to see my doctor. I am thinking check my potassium and request some kind of blood pressure medicine change. If he is not game for this then I will transition to the blood pressure as the root cause of my CKD and not diabetes. Sunday was weird because I wasn’t tired but I did have a short nap today. I had asparagus and sweet potato and fried cabbage and broccoli. I had lots of seeds and nuts for snacks. Monday went well, I went out shopping Sunday for some mulch for the banana trees I planted and it was too late in the evening to do my thing to them yesterday. Today I was too lazy to do anything to them but notwithstanding the weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow so I will get out and cut them to the ground and mulch the bulbs so hopefully they will not freeze this winter. I had more broccoli and cabbage and cauliflower and asparagus with bread and low fat cream cheese and olives. No problem with the salt in the olives as I seem to be handling about 2 liters of filtered water per day.
I am defiantly hydrated. I feel great, better than I have in years except for the tiredness but that seems to be improving. I really can’t wait to see how my blood work comes out. I will try and make the appointment for Friday.
Week 4 day 3 is coming fast.
