Jericho: Day 44 - Still on The Wagon

Here we are, day 44. No binges, no caffeine, no bread, very controlled cheating, etc. I haven't been to the gym, but it's on my list. We've been pretty active. Overall, the diet goes well.

I have proof of this well-going. I got weighed today. I'd make you guess the number, but since you are reading this, that isn't much fun. I'll just tell you, then, shall I? I weigh 446.3. That's 29.5 pounds less than when I started. That comes to about 3 pounds a week since I last got on the scale. It's about five pounds a week since I started. I don't want to look at it that way. I like the three pounds a week thing. If I can keep up that pace - I'm set!

Steph and I go talk to the doctor tomorrow. I get to see if my cholesterol has survived this ordeal. We are also doing an A1C test, this will track our blood sugar over the last six weeks and tell us if all is good in the world. Steph's blood sugar counts have been great! Most of her measurements have been in the black, or just slightly above - usually if she forgets her meds her numbers will go up. Either way, she is down like fifteen or so pounds, she is getting into clothes that have been in her closet for years. I think she is really enjoying that.

Six weeks ago I thought this was going to be an impossible thing. This is the longest I have ever been on a diet and it is certainly the most successful diet I have ever been on. I am so happy I did this! I can't wait to see where I am a year from now!
