Today's food log

Coffee with half and half-50 calories 

Protein shake-160 calories 

Approx 4 servings of V8-240 calories 

1 quart of beef broth-40 calories

14 pieces of sugar free gum-70 calories 

Plus a Coke Zero and some water. 

I'm parked at a truck stop for the next 34 hours with a Wendy's and Taco Bell nearby. It's going to take some serious willpower to not go to one of them.

Had a nice poop today. One big smooth coil.

Food log

Had two large coffees and two creamers, plus an orange Monster Zero.

A protein shake and about 32 ounces of high fiber V8, finished off with a can of chicken broth. Chewed my way through 2 packs of sugar free gum. Including the fish oil, I'm looking at about 670 calories for the day, 40 grams of protein, and 40 grams of carbs. 400 calories is not sustainable, but I did make a pig of myself yesterday. Have yet to feel hungry. 

new dietary staple

I can drink and entire bottle of this and it adds around 360 calories, almost 30 grams of fiber, and 12 grams of protein. Joe Cross was working way too hard for his juice.

It's been almost two years.

So, some things have changed, some haven't. I'm still a fat fuck, so that sucks. On the bright side, I fully embraced Christ and was baptized into the Catholic church. I have an awesome relationship with a beautiful woman, even if it's (very) long distance at the moment. So on the whole, I'm optimistic. 

It's time for me to get really serious about my weight loss and health in general. I need to exercise more, and eat better. Part of it is wanting to live a full and productive life with my lady as long as possible. Part if it is treating my body as a temple instead of a garbage dump. To that end, I am going to restart logging food and exercise, and add a spiritual dimension: whether or not I prayed a rosary on a given day, and a nofap streak counter.

My diet plan is going to be pretty simple. Taking inspiration from Joe Cross's movie Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead, I would like to do periodic juice fasts, supplemented with protein shakes. Rather than juicing a bunch of stuff, I'm just going to drink V8. I'm going to allow myself sugar free gum, coffee with cream, tea, and diet soda. Macro goals are going to be keeping under 75 carb grams/day, with 25-75 grams of protein. Fat is going to be minimal, mostly from fish oil and cream. 

I'm glad to say that I knocked out my rosary early today. I'm less proud to be on day 2 of a nofap streak. Food log to follow at the end of my day.

Test

Making a post to keep this active so Blogger doesn't shut it down.

Tax day macros and calories

Had a Coke Zero-freebie! Drank a 32 ounce Powerade Zero with about 8 packets of True Lemon - also a freebie! Drank a 20 ounce coffee with two little cups of half and half. Drank a bit less than a quart of unsweetened vanilla flavored coconut milk beverage. Also managed to drink some actual water.

Food was a 1.5 ounce pack of pork rinds, a 5 ounce summer sausage, and 7 ounces of Walmart pastrami.

Now for the calories and macros: Estimated calories were around 1100. Got around 90 grams of protein, so I met that goal, even if 24 of those were low-grade pork rind protein. 13 carb grams is 52 calories. So, 688 calories from fat, or 76 grams. I don't know how sustainable 1100 calories a day is. I'm not feeling hungry today because I made a huge pig of myself at a casino buffer yesterday. But it would be all kinds of awesome if I could keep this up. There is still lots of room to cut carbs with better protein sources.

Late brunch

Had a bag of frozen Brussels sprouts that you steam up in the microwave. They're already seasoned and everything. Had a packet of shrimp flavored Ramen noodles as well. Way more carbs than I should be eating, but only about 750 calories. Some protein and greens for supper is the plan.

New year, new blogging

Long time, no see. Doing a bit of intermittent fasting today. Didn't eat for about 24 hours, then had a big meal about 4 pm today. It consisted of a can of mustard greens (with apple cider vinegar, of course), a 7 ounce jar of olives, a 5 ounce can of yellowtail tuna in olive oil, and chia/hemp seed gruel. Total calories today: 1040. Protein was about 42 grams, net carbs were about 6. In the future, I'd like to shoot for around 1200-1500 calories per day, but I ate like a pig yesterday. Had some cravings for junk today, but managed not to give in. Here's hoping I can do the same tomorrow.

Birthday supper

Had a mid size (five ounce) roast beef sandwich from Arby's, garnished with a couple packets each of mayonnaise and Horsey sauce. A 3.5 ounce bag of pork rinds and 40 ounces of water. Call it 1300 calories and 40 carb grams. Definitely hit my daily protein goal. Probably going to have some kind of greens with vinegar in a couple hours to keep from feeling hungry in the middle of the night.

Lunch

Five ounces of canned chicken, a three ounce pouch of salmon (gotta love the Dollar Tree) , and a four ounce can of mushrooms. A little bit less than 400 calories, six carb grams, and 41 grams of protein.

39th birthday

Had a 400 or so calorie breakfast. Two 1.5 ounce Old Wisconsin beef sticks, 2 20 ounce cups of coffee with half and half. Currently sipping on an iced Powerade Zero with a couple packets of True Lemon. Call it 5 or 6 carb grams and 15 grams of protein. Probably going to get a BLT salad from Subway at the end of the shift because it's our birthday, precious.

Weighed in at 287.1 after a decent sized poop this morning. I'd really like to be somewhere south of 270 by the end of April.

Blood sugar test.

206 after being on metformin for a couple days and not having eaten for about 12 hours. Fuck. Should not have eaten that sausage biscuit.

Did well today

Ate pepperoni, canned mushrooms, sauerkraut, salmon, almonds, and coffee with half and half.Went five hours without having to pee, which was awesome. Stayed under 1500 calories and 20 carb grams.

One day of keto down, now for another.

Really wanted something to eat

Could have gotten pizza or a sub, got five eggs and a 2 ounce stick of medium cheddar instead. Go me.

Hey there, how's it goin'?

Calories today: 1750
Net carbs: 20-28g (depending on how much fiber is in sauerkraut)
Protein: 112g
Fat: 132g, give or take

Breakfast was four boiled eggs with light salt (light as in half potassium chloride) and two 20oz cups of coffee with a tablespoon or so of half and half. Lunch was a 2.5 ounce bag of pork rinds with 3 ounces of almonds. Supper was 3 ounces of salami, 4 ounces of mackerel in sunflower oil (drained), a 14 ounce can of turnip greens with apple cider vinegar, and a 14.5 ounce can of sauerkraut.

My poor teeth.

If I'm not postin', I'm sinnin'

Ate healthy today. Haven't been since the last post. Already pissing less, so that's a good sign.

Angry fruit

Some days you just can't help but to piss off a Kiwi.

Elevenses

Ate a truck stop veggie cup-celery, broccoli, carrot sticks, grape tomatoes-raw, because that is the way I roll. Also had a Fuji apple from Trader Joe's. It was kind of mushy and bland and not very satisfying. What the hell, TJ's?

Uh oh

Suddenly had a yearning to listen to some XTC. To make things worse, I found "Sargasso Bar" on YouTube, a song that didn't make it onto Go 2, my least favorite album.

It sounded pretty good.
