11 January 2014 - 248.6 lbs.
Disappointing to see the increase again. Throughout the day I ate a lot of walnuts, an avocado and a lot of chicken salad. I also ate two slices of bread. I haven't eaten bread for quite a while but I made some for Carol with non gluten flour and wanted to see how it tasted. It was pretty good although it raised very little.
Getting Started
Yup, I've finally come to the conclusion I need to make some changes. This is how I looked at the end of our mission in Africa. Not sure how much I weighed then. I came home at 260 lbs. Yesterday I weighed in at 252. I am taking Lisinipril for high blood pressure 140/90 and Simvastatin for high cholesterol. I have been experiencing severe heart pain and took a stress test two weeks ago. It came out normal and am scheduled for a more intensive one tomorrow. However, the worst is a significant lack of energy. So, as I have learned as a bishop, people make changes better when they hold themselves accountable and that is what I am doing here. I am committed to losing at least 30 pounds and improve my health with better eating. Attached below is a list of good and bad foods I have researched. Hope they might do others some good. I am also going to keep a daily progress record.
