Some of my
readers are aware that I’ve been following a standard low carb eating plan combined
with intermittent fasting, European invasive/toxic-sprouts, and self-delusion
for the past few months. Thanks to a
totally enthusiastic and sporadic (that part isn’t technically adherent to the intermittent part of this and doesn’t include “free
Tuesdays and Thursdays") attention to this plan, I lost 50 pounds the first
month and then gained 60 pounds the second month and then lost 50 pounds the
third month and then gained it back. I also
incorporated the “Pepper System”, whereby I dump red pepper on all of my food
prior to eating as a taste deterrent. But
it turns out I REALLY like red pepper, so I’m now also trying to wean off red
pepper, AND lose the additional 18 pounds I gained eating peppery foods.
For my newer
readers, with this plan, the net result is the primary focus, so please consider
that as you follow my journey. For you
naysayers, I’m also doing a shit ton of modified pushups when I think of it,
and parking my car far from the supermarket for extra walking (unless I’m doing
that call- ahead, pick it up thing, which is so freakin great, just sayin, obviously)
for extra calorie expenditure.
The most important
result so far is that I FEEL GREAT when resting (so wtf do you have to say
about that, Doctor Lab guy?). I know
that reaching my goal will take time, and that until then I need to be kind
to ME. This is a journey, not a destination,
and while there’s a better than decent probability that I’ll never reach my
goal, acceptance of that almost certain failure is a gift I give myself. Follow me for more.
