20200504 Triumphant return and Daily Report

The Doctor has been away for a few weeks.  I wish I could say that it was a spiritual retreat or related to Corona Virus things, but it was nothing so useful. 

In the last two weeks, I have started to get a grip on myself and re-establish my weight loss mindset and lifestyle that I have used so effectively during 2019.  My weight is near my low point, but not quite there yet.  I am approaching 240 pounds for the third time, or maybe the 5th time.  It’s been a hard nut to crack.

Pizzarific!

My food intake and calorie count

Breakfast – 1/16 birthday cake (550)

  • 550 calories

Lunch – 10oz walnut chicken (450); flatbread (110);

  • 560 calories 

Dinner – 5oz rice (160); 8oz red lentil curry (400)

  • 560 calories

Snacking – tea with half and half (80); kit kat (210); chocolate almonds (300);

  • 590 calories

Total for the day: 2250 calories (limit 1800)

Where's the pizza?

Yes, that is one of my stock photos.  I had no pizza today.  

I discovered something – again.  I can’t have cake for breakfast.  I get hungry again within an hour and I spent the rest of the today feeling deprived.  It is for this reason that my Snacking section contains a lot of chocolate and my calorie total for the day is high.  I am doing pretty well otherwise.  I lost a pound last week, for example.  Not bad considering I haven’t been allowed to swim (the Corona shutdowns have closed them all here).  My physical activity is relatively low.  Maybe that’s a factor and I would be losing more weight per week, but I just don’t know.  

It’s getting late so I will be brief tonight.  The Doctor has returned!  More weight control and food intake control adventures to come.

    Yay, I’m glad you’re back, posting.

    Cinco de Mayo today. We’re ordering from Iguana Mia tonight and sitting around the pool with friends to eat and chat. I made a tres leches cake for dessert, just a small bite, calorie laden. It gives me incentive to watch all day that my calorie intake isn’t off the rails
