Just blogging for the sake of consistency today. It seems that a daily blurb here helps me stay focused, although I have to say that I haven't been finding it all that bloody hard to stay focused on this task. That's refreshing. Every other time I've tried to lose weight, it's been such a fight. Yes, there were up times and moments when I felt empowered, but for the most part, it was drudgery of the first order. This is... easier.
ON CHEATING:
Well, I have been, I suppose, but it's been pretty damn minimal. I guess by "cheating" I'm referring to the induction phase of ANA (or "Atkins Nutritional Approach"). I have been having more than 20g carbs a day for the past week, which is why things are a bit slow I suppose. But I've minimized things where I could. Yesterday, I made two Johnsonville Brats for dinner. 1g carb each. I made them into wraps in low-carb tortillas (3g each) with dill relish, onions and brown mustard (0g each). But these were the first Johnsonville brats I've had in almost 10 years. It woulda been an insult to not put ketchup on them. So I went sparingly. They were really good. I'm making bacon cheeseburgers tonight, and will use them again. I need to back off on the cheese a bit, though. Need to stick with the harder cheeses and not so much fresh mozzarella. Oh well.
The mocha is now going to be a weekly--not daily--thing, as it should be. I'm going to make the low-carb version when my sweetie is here with me. Most likely Sunday mornings. I skipped it today.
ON SUPPORT:
Well, firstly, it's really nice to have someone doing this with me. My sweetie, CCK, is doing this at the same time, wanting to shed about 10-15lbs. It's already working for her, too. She's done Atkins before, and jumped right back on it. Her encouragement and support is invaluable to me. We rant to the Low-Carb Nation store together, and had fun looking at all the (admittedly overpriced) goodies.
Support is also coming in from other places. Old friends from afar finding out about this from Facebook posts, popping into this blog, people in my sangha noticing the weight-loss unsolicited, then asking how I'm doing it, even my sensei. They are all encouraging me onwards, even taking the switch back to an animal-based diet into account. They know I'm doing it very conscientiously, even when at the same time the decision has pained me somewhat.
Support has also popped up at my local Mondo-Mart! I walked down there this morning to get leafy green salad mix, some avocados and an onion, and was hoping they'd carry the low-carb Heinz ketchup (DAMN YOU KETCHUP!!!) Nope. But while walking out the store, I happened to pass by a section that I'd never seen before. They have a little section of low-carb and sugar-free stuff, including a bunch of things the LCN store carries, and lo and behold: SUGAR FREE KETCHUP!!! I got that, and a sugar-free dark chocolate bar for CCK and I to have after dinner tonight as a special desert treat.
ON MINDFULNESS AND EATING:
What to say here? To say that this is a practice in mindful eating is an understatement. But this is not like the obsessively niggling pain of counting calories. I mean, I pretty much need only count to twenty. I can handle that. I am also finding a new joy in the freedom that this eating approach affords me. I'm not as focused on food as I had been in the past. Food for me now is an exercise in simplicity. I like that. I like to savor the things I'm eating, not cram them in as fast as I can. I'm more satisfied with less food now than I once was, but at the same time, I'm not munchy again in 90min. I'm not constantly thinking about what I'm going to eat next while still chewing something I'm eating now. That is beyond helpful, and again, very freeing.
ON CRAVINGS:
I crave a whole lot less than I did, that's for sure. Yes, I still feel the tug of the sweet-tooth, but it's really diminished. I don't partake in the sangha "tea and cookies" after sitting anymore, even to reward myself for having a "good food day". My sweet needs are now covered pretty well by a low-carb snack bar. Bread is still a bit tricky, mostly in the bun department. I'll be perfectly happy with the low-carb wrap solution for now, but when I return from my Wisconsin visit, I'm going to get down to work on making home-made low-carb hamburger buns. I've found a few resources on-line that use muffin-top baking pans, and low-carb flour that looks promising.
ON THE DAILY SCALE:
That may be taking a rest. I think I'm going to switch to a weekly weigh-in. Sunday mornings. I'll do it tomorrow, and then when I get back from traveling.
That's all for now. See you on the flip-side.

255.8 (Woops! Drank shower water and now 256.2!)
So I haven't been walking like I had been. I've been stalled back up at about 260 for a few days. But by "stalled", I of course mean my sewerage system. I stopped taking the fiber laxative I'd had on hand because it has a $^@%-load of sugar in it. No laxative--something that should make you $^@%--should have a $^@%-load of anything in it but fiber! So I now have the sugar-free version. Took that this morning, after the low-carb mocha I shouldn't have had, hoping for aid.
No joy.
Well, I did some work, watched a documentary on Netflix, cleaned my kitchen island, waited, and...
No.
So I ate an Atkins bar (Yum! But damn the carbs, even the Net ones).
No.
I figured that by this time, nothing was likely to happen. Probably. I needed to go make a (very meager) deposit at the bank about 3/4 a mile from here. My landlord's been letting me use his truck while he can't drive (detached retina), so I could have driven, but I needed--and wanted--to walk. It was a warmish day, and I really wanted to walk before it got hotter. I know that the lack of exercise is expressly one of the things that's keeping the weight-loss creeping along, and I want it to go faster. So I wrapped up my domestics, slapped on the Keans, and headed out.
I have a little system for, shall we say, "emergency rescue". I walk on the side of the street that takes me with the flow of traffic. If I suddenly get alerts from the, uhhh... "Waste Management Dept", I can stop at a bus stop, hang out and hopefully get rescued in time.
And that, of course, is exactly what happened. Fortunately, I made it into the local Mondo-Mart down the street with time to spare. I have visited this bathroom more times this summer than I care to admit. Well, honestly, I don't care either way. I'm grateful that it's there and public. But I'm so familiar with that 'loo that I have my preferred stall, and am well versed in local lore: who gives up the goods after three PBR's, who is a total stoner, and what the Fourth Reich is up to, as well as what local bands are full of, apparently.
So, yeah. Relief. And... umm... and how. 'Nuff said. As a vegetarian, I really didn't have this problem. This constipation is like a return to the bad ol' days of me eating meat for me. As a spinal cord injury survivor, the bladder and bowel control are things #1 & #2 to go (hehe... see what I did there? '#1' & '#2'? Heheheh... heh... anyway) and I have suffered that issue rather painfully since I was 15. But if I have to suffer it again for this to work, I'm fine with it. I have my sugar-free fiber-2-go stuff, and it'll be a twice-daily thing.
I walked back to the flat from the bank. Check that: I floated. Good lord, I felt like a feather. A hot, sweaty feather, admittedly, but a helluva lot lighter than I set out. Peeled off the sweaty stuff and headed to the shower.
255.8!
So, that is my real, current body weight. Seriously, though, after drinking some shower water to rehydrate the insides, and absorbing some through the skin, it was 256.2. O! sweet water of life. Why must you weight 8.3lbs/gallon? I have been drinking more water lately. It's important to the process for a number of reasons, not the least of which is my bowels. So I've been really trying.
But back to the weigh-in. I do believe that if I keep this up, I should make my first goal of 250 on time. That will be big. I will celebrate. I will celebrate without food! I will not do what I used to do and use success as an excuse to undermine myself and aim myself back to failure. I have saved something special for myself for this occasion. Some may say it's silly. I don't. It's very special to me, and I have saved this for years. A special little treat that I have reserved for the two-five-oh, and I didn't give in and enjoy it at 253 back in 2007 or whenever it was. I wanted to earn it. It will be nice. I will wait until I actually hit 249 or lower, so I know that 250 is real.
I'm all about reality now.
P.S.: Hope you enjoy the new masthead logo. That's the tub that was custom-made for the 27th President of the United States--William Howard Taft. A notorious tubby if ever there was one, Taft--or "The Big Lub"--was too big to fit comfortably in the White House master bath tub, so he had this made and installed. Acording to the Wiki gods: "Weighing over 300 pounds (140 kg) on average, Taft was physically the heaviest American president ever elected, and the last president to have facial hair."[3]
A side note: At my max, I weighed about 30-40lbs more than "The Big Lub" ever did. Must be the facial hair...
No joy.

Frying in the face of danger...
So, according to an ideal weight calculator page, I should weight somewhere between 126-207lbs. Now there's a specific target, huh? 0.o I think were I 126lbs, I'd look like Ghandi, and if I were 207, I'd still call myself fat. The top end of the Medically Recommended Ideal Weight for a person my height is 167lbs, or approximately 91lbs from here (258). That shocked me. I'm less than 100lbs away from anyone's "ideal" weight! That was a bit of a thrill.
Now, to reality.
I stopped to think about it just now. I think 167 may be a bit... I don't know. I can't even envision myself at that weight. Then I stopped myself and realized that I've never been able to envision myself at that kind of weight, or in that kind of health. Never. I have spent my whole life being fat. Huge. Morbidly obese. I don't think I have a circuit in my head that can conjure up that kind of visualization!
But on the other hand, there is something new going on in my head. Something very different. There is a voice in there now that is gently encouraging me to do so. For the first time in my life, I feel that this may be possible. It's thrilling. It's scary. It's empowering.
I am still concerned that 167 may be a bit pork-chop-in-the-sky (remember: no pie!) but I am now seeing that setting a few reasonable goals may be worth-while. Now, I think that setting date-specific goals would be counter-productive: an unneeded pressure to succeed at something I'm so new at. I haven't really experienced any of the major pitfalls or stalls yet, so I'm not sure how long they'll take to get passed. Add to that the fact that at some point in this weigh-tloss, my doctor is going to tell me it's time to come off the diuretic for my hypertension, so I may gain some water weight back after that. But I am beginning to think that 10lbs a month for at least the next three or even four months is reasonable and do-able. After that, I think 5lbs a month is not unrealistic. Also, the 167 number just seems a bit low, so I'm gonna pick an ideal weight for me as 175. 175? I can't even believe I'm saying that!
So, having said all that, here are my goals:
Now, I'm not going to really hold on to anything more than the goal of 250. The rest just seems so ephemeral. But if I am going to start visualizing myself as this wholly different person, I should also allow myself the ability to think about when it may happen.
Here's to the future. Now where's my jet pack?

So, having said all that, here are my goals:
- 250 by 09/15/2010: This goal is a bit of a big deal for me. You may recall from reading earlier on in the blog that I missed this a few years ago by three lbs. It will be the lowest weight I've been at since high-school.
- 240 by 10/29/2010: This is the date of the beginning of the Mindful Eating retreat that CCK and I plan to attend at Great Vow Zen Monastery. I will be able to say that I've lost a hundred pounds since 2003, and over fifty pounds since April 3rd, 2010.
- 235 by 11/15/2010: This is the date of the beginning of the Generosity Sesshin at Great Vow, which I am planning on attending. This will be my first "sesshin", or formal zen monastic week-long meditation silent retreat. The vast majority of the reason why I have been so nervous about sesshin is due to my weight.
- 225 by 12/17/2010: This is the first day of the Beginner's Mind retreat, which I also plan to attend.
- 220 by 01/01/2011: That would be an average of about 10lbs a month for 4 months.
Now, I'm not going to really hold on to anything more than the goal of 250. The rest just seems so ephemeral. But if I am going to start visualizing myself as this wholly different person, I should also allow myself the ability to think about when it may happen.
Here's to the future. Now where's my jet pack?
258.6 (and the ketosis dream becomes reality...)
So I went running around with CCK today after we got up. First, I made low-carb mochas (which are pretty durn nommy, if'in you ask me, and only 10g carb -vs- the vegan mocha I used to make that totals a whopping 46g!) and mushroom omelets with garlic jack cheese and bacon. I really am becoming Le roi des omelette du' fromage. Good thing I really love eggs in all their forms! Anyhoo, we went to the Low Carb Nation store in the area (sort of: it's a bit of a drive). Last night, I was bemoaning a desire for cheesecake. Today, we walk in, look in the freezer case, and spy "Frozen Cheesecake On A Stick".
OMFGLOWCARBPWNIES!!! Man that thing was good! They said to let it thaw first. Yeah. I heard her say that right before my last bite. I got some no-carb barbecue sauce, some low-carb baking mix, and an Atkin's low-carb chocolate peanut-butter cups. At some point I need to come up with a low-carb bread/bun/roll solution. Glad I'm also a good baker. I can't really manage to pay $8 for 6 hamburger buns! And eventually, I WILL eat bread again. Meanwhile, the baking mix is primarily to work towards one thing: PIZZA CRUST! I have not switched over to a meat-and-cheese diet without being allowed to eat a fracking pizza! No-sir-ee-bob. I'll get it figured out.
Then on to Costco for meat-madness. 6.5lb bag of Chicken thighs, a three pack of organic ground beef, a box of Splenda, a huge two-pack of both turkey and pork bacon, and finally, a home-grown treat: a 20-count box of Johnsonville Brats! Charlie Murphy[1] would be pleased.
On the way home, I stopped at some gal's house and picked up a bottle of Bayer ketosis test strips that she had no use for (-via- Freecycle). When I got home, I was able to test myself for the first time, and I am already about 80% into ketosis! The results showed "moderate" which is one step away from "full-on". This most likely is the reason why the weight-loss has started again after a stall. That, combined with the scale reading today, makes me smile inside and out!
If anyone ever tells you that low-carb and Atkins are BS, respond with a polite "BS to you too" because you now know someone who is living proof that this works. It is easy, it is fulfilling, it is energizing, it is affordable, and I think it may be my ticket to a different life...
[1] For those not fortunate enough to have been raised in the Cheese Belt, "Charlie Murphy" was a character in the Johnsinville bratwurst ad campaign in the 80's.

259.2 (and an obseration on fat math...)
So, I've discovered that if I go to bed weighing approximately the same as I did when I wake up (with a day's meals in and no, um... "deposit"), I'm about to drop a pound. I am not scale obsessed. I find it helpful to track my weight throughout the day, so I have a sense of what "real numbers" are. I am, however, considering switching to a weekly weigh-in on Sundays.
I am really feeling the difference in my body; how I move, my energy levels, my stamina. I know I'm not even it ketosis yet. This is really encouraging. I have, for the first time, a sense that this low-carb way of living may really benefit me in the long-haul. I am starting to envision myself in the future, and the image that was once a wild dream that I never really allowed myself to even so much as entertain now seems a possibility.
The craving for carbs and sugar has really diminished. It's almost as if it only has an aesthetic appeal, and not the magnetic, black-hole-gravity draw that it used to. Although I miss bread and potatoes, I miss them less than I thought I would.
I stumbled upon an offer on Freecycle.org of someone giving away a pile of ketone test strips. I'm going to go pick them up today. Damn handy. I guess those things are really pricey. Probably going to pursue the Low Carb Nation store today with my CCK. She's doing excellently as well, and has jumped past her initial goal of 150lbs (sorry, dear-heart. I meant "10.5 stone" ;). It's nice doing this with someone. Anyway, I don't think I'll hit my 250 goal by the time I'm back in Wisconsin for my mom's birthday party unless I really ratchet up the exercise. Who knows, though. At this stage, I think anything may be possible.

260, and I'm still happy with that...
Induction has been put on hold for a few days out of necessity. Justa bunch of stuff going on. Good news is, even though I haven't been exercising quit as much as I'd been before, no weight is going back on, I still feel good, have more energy, and am optimistic that the progress will continue.
In a few weeks, I fly back to my old home-town, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for my mom's 80th birthday celebration. I imagine this will be an easier trip than when I was an active vegetarian, that's for sure. I had been holding out hope that by the time I went back, I'd be 250, but I question whether that'll be the case or not. I'm fine if it's not. Honestly.
I'm looking into a gym membership for the winter months. That may be a better solution than trying to cram a stationary bike and an elliptical machine in this tiny place. Plus, it'll get me out of the house. The place I'm inquiring to is about a quarter-mile walk right down the street from me, so I'll have the ability to walk there and back, even if it's crappy out, which it soon will be. Unfortunately, they're undergoing a major renovation right now, and I don't know when that location will be open again. The place--One With Heart--is a combo dojo and fitness center. They're Indonesian-based Tulen. They also offer Tai Chi, which I'd really like to start doing again. If the price is right, I think the place could really be a good fit.
I'm thinking about trying to make beef bourguignon out in my smoker grill. I think the smoky taste and the bourguignon sauce would be awesome together. Just do one side of the grill as the hot side, and roast everything else in an aluminum pan on the "cool" side. Could work.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled blog post...
Just got on the scale before a shower, and was 259.8. Man, it's been so long since I was in the 25x's!
