10/12 Weightloss Wednesday: Plateau Shattered and Major Goal Reached!
It’s time for another Weightloss Wednesday! I am so happy that I am FINALLY under 240 and as of this morning I clocked in at 237.8 lbs! I can’t even tell you how happy I am that I finally crossed what seemed to be an unbreakable barrier. It only took the entire summer and into the fall but that means I am 162.2 lbs down from my highest weight. About stinking time!
Diet
If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw that I got an advance copy of The Complete Guide to Fasting, a new book by Dr Fung and Jimmy Moore. On Monday I decided to start a fast and see what happens. Well what happened was by Tuesday night I would have clawed through a wall to get to food. I was literally in my kitchen with a spoon full of peanut butter in one hand and a spatula in other frying some eggs and bacon. Ugh. My willpower is not what it used to be but I learned that Intermittent Fasting is a heckuva lot easier than a liquid fast. I think I’ll just stick with the IF for now thank you very much.
Exercise
Nothing too much to report here. So sticking with StrongLifts in the gym. In fact I hit my first deload this week which means that I failed a specific exercise 3 times in a row and have to take weight off the bar next time I go. Turns out what ever muscles an overhead press works out are unbelievably weak. That’s ok, little by little, I’m just getting stronger.

How do I get started on this diet?
I would get started with this post. https://mysugarfreejourney.com/how-to-get-started-losing-weight-without-exercise/
But the basic idea is to not eat anything that causes an insulin spike so that is a diet with no simple carbs like sugar, grains, potatoes, etc (no bread, pasta etc). All your carbs are from complex carbs like leafy greens and whole veggies. Then a moderate amount of protein and fat to satiation. Let me know if you need anything else!
