Thank you.

Is it OK for me to be a little frustrated. Not that losing more than 5 pounds in a month is awful, but it represents only 1.2 pounds more than the weight I put on in the last week at the end of the last quarter-year period. I was at 206 on March 26. 35 days later, I'm at 204.8. Nothing to get excited about.

The 1/4" I lost in that time, was off my chest, where I don't want to lose it at all. Nothing off my waist or hips in 35 days.

What to do? Well, I'm going to try supplementing with a protein drink within a 1/2 hour of waking up. See what effect that has on my weight loss. My breakfast will consist of the aforementioned protein drink (Prograde Protein, if you have to know), spinach, beans and an egg. That is what I expect to have for breakfast every day for the next 4 weeks.

I will also be looking at getting more exercise.

As of today, I am just under 20 pounds away from my goal weight of 185 pounds on July 2. That is 9 weeks away. I will have to lose over 2 pounds per week to make that happen. We'll see.

Given the gross force-feeding I managed to inflict on myself today, I have doubts.

Here are the new charts:

Here is this months daily weight chart, from the beginning. Notice the fail beginning on 4/17.

Here is the plot of measurement day results. Note that I am above trend and the trend is above goal.

Here we are with a daily plot of my weight from the beginning of my experiment with the Slow-Carb Diet.

Free Day Food

Breakfast

Pork tenderloin sauteed in coconut oil, red lentils and spinach with salsa, 3 whole eggs, scrambled, cooked in coconut oil.

Lunch

14 oz of Simply Grafruit Juice.

Falafel wrap from Nature's Own, plus corn and chia chips.

Delicious, gluten-free fruit-nut bar for dessert.

2nd dessert: 1 oz of this delicious raw chocolate-fruit-spice concoction.

Lunch was preceded by making coleslaw, and then eating a lot of it.

Dinner Before dinner, I finished off the home-made coleslaw. I can't have this stuff around except on Free food day - it is a domino/trigger food for me. I will, have, and did eat it until there was nothing left.

The lighting wasn't good, but what we have here is a Limp Lizard Big 'Nasty' plate, consisting of smoked sausage and beef brisket topped with sauteed onions, peppers and melted cheddar-jack cheeses on a hoagie roll, with hot chili and mac and cheese sides. And a glass of sauvignon blanc (I ordered the cabernet sauvignon - I don't really like white wine, but this wasn't too bad).
