19	02	28	Home	43 Min.	1.3 Mi.	Hil and I walked Shiva up to the pool, west on North 6th to Baker, south to Jerrilynn, east to Esperanza, north to Huron, west to Ronald Way and home.   Sunny, but cool and damp. Morning weight:  358lbs.  My High: 358lbs; my low: 350lbs.  The high is 7lbs up from yesterday and the same as four days ago (24 Feb).  My low is also up 7lbs from yesterday up 2lbs from my low four days ago.  No swelling in hands or feet on waking up.  Again, except for my kidney stone / groin pain, I’m feeling very good.  Saddle-bags going down and muffin-top going away too.  I’m not really seeing changes in other places, yet.  Slowly, slowly… Deep sleep:  1hr 20min of total deep sleep;  3 times:  38m, 13m and 30mins.  5hrs 9min of total sleep between 12:30am and 6:12am.  I actually slept until about 7:30am.  I’m not sure why FB doesn’t always count the time accurately.  33min of awake time;  11 times.  I got up twice for the bathroom during the night. 12.82 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	02	27	Home	63 Min.	1.9 Mi.	Hil and I took Shiva on a “creek” tour this morning.  We walked south on Esperanza to Holbrook, east to Bonifacio, north into the part to Farm Bureau Road, east to Salvio, south to North 6th Street, west to Bonifacio, north to Holbrook, west to Esperanza, north to Huron, west to Ronald Way and home.  The morning was mostly overcast with a bit of spitting every now and then.  Not enough to wet your raincoat. Morning weight:  353lbs.  My High: 353lbs; my low: 343lbs.  The high is 8lbs down from yesterday and 8lbs down from four days ago.  My low is 6lbs down from yesterday and 7lbs down from four days ago.  The critical thing is am I dropping from morning after fast date to the next (same).  In this case, I had a 6lbs bump up after the feast day and an 8lbs drop after the fast day.  This means the weight gain was almost all fluid retention from eating which is shed the following day.  However, my hands are bloated today and I am drinking a lot of fluid to try to pass kidney grains.  If true, my weight should spike again tomorrow and drop again after the next fast day. Deep sleep:  36min total of deep sleep;  3times:  22m, 9m and 4min.  7hrs 10min of total sleep between 11:32pm and 7:36am.  54m of awake time; awake 16 times.  I was up four times during the night to pee and felt like I had extended periods of laying awake.  I put that down to the long nap yesterday afternoon, than to an energy spike from fasting. 16.58 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	02	26	Home	30 Min.	1.0 Mi.	Hil and I walked Shiva up to the pool and then home.  It was very lightly sprinkling during the walk.  The walk was hampered by shortness of breath and heart rate increase, but I made it home and the FB registered it (the heart incident) and looks like it wasn’t that “bad”.  My other issue, I was really having a problem with passing a grain.  As the day has gone on, the groin pain is less, but not gone.  Passing lots of fluids to try to help the passing. Morning weight:  361lbs.  My High: 361lbs; my low: 349lbs.  The high is 6lbs up from yesterday and my low is four pounds up from my low yesterday.  Today is Day 7 of my MADF and I’m down 5lbs at 1 week.  I was hoping for 2.5lbs, so this is very good for almost no effort.  I’m putting this down to water weight associated with normal diet (salt & sugar) causing water retention.  I still “feel” thinner this morning.  No swelling in my hands or feet / ankles. Deep sleep:  48min of total deep sleep;  3 times: 24m, 20m and 4min.  5hrs 59min of total sleep between 12:00am and 6:52am.  53min of awake time over 18 times.  I got up twice for the bathroom, but I also “felt” like I was awake for more than a couple of minutes more than a few times. I had a four hour “nap” during the afternoon between 2:30pm and 6:30pm.  The FB only picked up 1hr of sleep: 2:30 to 3:30pm. 10.72 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	02	25	Home	52 Min.	1.3 Mi.	Hil and I walked Shiva up to the pool, west on North 6th to Baker, south to Esperanza, north to Huron, west to Ronald Way and then home.  The morning was cool and damp, which made it seem colder.  It is supposed to rain this afternoon and for the next two days. Morning weight:  355lbs.  My High: 355lbs; my low:345lbs.  The high is 3lbs down from yesterday and the low is 3lbs down from yesterday.  The high is 11lbs down from the high four days ago (21 Feb).  The low is 8lbs down from four days ago.  Both are VERY good numbers!  I am surprised.  These numbers are very similar to the loss from my “traditional” juicing / blending numbers where I don’t eat at all.  I woke up to mild palpitations and sore groin (kidney stones / grains), so I will need to drink a lot today.  Yesterday, I was very bad with stomach cramps.  The was a period of about three hours where I wasn’t sure if I was going to throw-up or have diarrhea.  I ended up with diarrhea.  I don’t know if it was the juice (V8 – Strawberry / Banana) I drank or just some reaction to the MADF.  I guess time will tell.  All in all, I feel pretty good. Deep sleep:  1hr 10m total deep sleep;  3 times: 9m, 54m and 6min.  6hrs 50min of total sleep between 11:56pm and 7:25am.  Felt like a good night of sleep, but the FB says I was partially awake or awake 24 times over 39min. 10.57 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	02	24	Home	30 Min.	1.0 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool and then home.   Cloudy and overcast.  It almost looks like its threatening rain, but the forecast says not until tomorrow.  My heart rate jumped up almost immediately during the walk and registered as “peak” for over 14min on a 30min walk.  I also was suffering from shortness of breath. I got palpitations during the evening and a brief shortness of breath so I skipped PF for the day.  I checked my BP / HR on my wrist cuff and it didn’t show any irregular HB. Morning weight:  358lbs.  My High: 358lbs; my low: 348lbs.  The high is 3lbs down from yesterday and the low is 2lbs down from yesterday.  The high is 3lbs up from four days ago; the low is 7lbs down from four days ago (20 Feb).  My high is 8lbs down from when I started the fast (at 366lbs). Deep sleep:  58min total deep sleep;  3 times: 36m, 4m and 19m.  7hrs 56min of total sleep between 12:35am and 9:13am.  Felt pretty good when I woke up.  I woke up in the middle of the night with my left arm completely numb.  I was sleeping on it wrong and had cut off the blood circulation.  I had to move my fingers (flex my fist) to restore the blood flow. 10.79 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	02	23	Home	30 Min.	1.0 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool and then home.  The walk started hot, but in the end it wasn’t too bad.  Sunny and partly cloudy.  I am looking forward to the pool opening. Morning weight:  361lbs.  My High: 361lbs; my low: 250lbs.  The high is 3lbs down from yesterday and the low is the same as yesterday.  The high is 1lb up from four days ago; the low is 10lbs down from four days ago (19 Feb).  Today is an “eat” day.  Tomorrow should be start of the real measuring as that will be the beginning of the weight matching on the MADF (modified alternate day fast) and show four days.  Woke up with no bloating in hands or feet.  Slept all the way through the night without getting up to use the bathroom.  Stiff and sore from the workout last night, but not as bad as I expected.  I passed at least two visible grains this morning: 1 medium and 1 small.  I passed 4 more small grains in the afternoon / evening.  Waste at belly-button: 55.5″ Deep sleep:  1hr 41min total deep sleep;  3 times:  58m, 35m and 11m.  7hrs 21mins of total sleep between 12:36am and 8:30am.  I felt like I had a good night’s sleep.  Not as sore as I expected, since I could hardly move getting into the car last night and moving in bed was painful. 10.73 miles difference on Fitbit.
			PF	67 Min.	0.0 Mi.	I drove to PF for a night workout.  I got there about 9:30pm and it was almost empty.  Perfect!!  My weight was: 351lbs on their scale.  I don’t know how accurate it is…  I did my old workout but it took about 10 minutes longer.  10 sets – 25 crunches (250), 10 inclined (@5) pushups (100), and 15 squats (150).  I also did 1set of 100 rows with 50lbs.  I finished with some light stretches.  I didn’t feel anywhere near as bad, but today was a “feast” day.
19	02	22	Home	43 Min.	1.3 Mi.	Hil and I walked Shiva up to the pool, west on North 6th to Baker, south to Esperanza, north to Huron, west to Ronald Way and then home.  Sunny and almost warm.  I didn’t have to remove my jacket only because I wore a lighter one and kept it unbuttoned. Morning weight:  364lbs.  My High: 364lbs; my Low: 350lbs.  The high is 2lbs down from yesterday and the low is 3lbs down from yesterday.  The high is 14lbs up from four days ago; the low is the same as four days ago.  So, I’ve finished my first “cycle” (1 day fast / 1 day eating) and I feel pretty good.  I’ll know more after a cycles – probably four or five.  Then I’ll be able to tell if this has a chance of working.  At the moment, I’m just happy I’m not waking up with my hands / feet swollen anymore.  Hungrier today than I was on the first day of the fast cycle. Deep sleep:  1hr 10min total deep sleep;  5times:  26m, 19m, 7m, 15m, and 5min.  6hrs 13mins of total sleep between 12:03am and 6:49am.  I don’t feel like I slept well.  Tired, but that may be due to this is a fasting day. 8.5 miles difference on Fitbit.
			PF	55 Min.	0.0 Mi.	I drove to PF for a night workout.  I tried to do some stretches, but I forgot most of the techniques.  I did half my old workout: 5 sets – 25 crunches, 10 inclined (@5) pushups, and 15 squats.  Very tired and almost no energy (probably due to the fast day).  Day 1 (streak) of 23 (shows) out of 101 possible days since joining PF.
19	02	21	Home	42 Min.	1.3 Mi.	Hil and I walked Shiva up to the pool, west on North 6th to Meadowbrook, north to Holbrook, west to Claudia, north to Huron, east to Ronald Way and north to home.  Sunny and mild.  I had to unzip my coat for most of the walk. Morning weight:  366lbs.  My High:366lbs; my Low: 353.  I’m changing my recording to reflect the highest weight I can get on my scale (normally by rocking forward on my toes) versus my old way of the lowest (rocking back on my heels and pressing with my toes).  This will be my new standard going forward.  I woke up today feeling completely empty inside.  Started eating at 10am (banana and some toast).  I will hopefully finish by 8pm.  I must admit I felt terrific most of yesterday.  From 10pm to bedtime, I was pretty hungry though.  Anyway, that is 11lbs up from yesterday and a 18lbs gain from four days ago (17 Feb).  On the low side, it would have been a 2lbs loss from yesterday and a four pound gain from four days ago (17 Feb).  The numbers should even out after a week or so… Deep sleep:   6min;  1 time: 8 min.  (For some reason the FB is showing only 1 time, but the time differs from the total deep sleep.)  I guess this is why I feel sooo tired today!  Total sleep:  6hrs 37mins between 12:27am and 8:02am.  I felt like I got up multiple times to use the bathroom, but only distinctly remember twice, so I may have been dreaming. 7.99 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	02	20	Home	43 Min.	1.3 Mi.	Hil and I walked Shiva up to the pool, west on North 6th to Baker, south to Esperanza, north to Huron, west to Ronald Way and then home.  Sunny and cold (almost very cold). Morning weight:  355lbs.  Down 5lbs from yesterday and the same as four days ago (16 Feb).  I have started a “modified” Alternate Day Fast (ADF) and today is a “fast” day.  Basically, today I can drink coffee, tea, water and juice, but only eat one meal (a large salad) between 4pm and 6pm.  I ate it at 4pm (ish).  Today seemed easy enough.  Tomorrow is a “normal” eat day.  I will try to limit my eating to between 10am and 6pm.  The “plan” is to start with anything goes as long as it’s between the time frame, and then try to eat “better” (more healthier) and ratchet the time down 30min each month until I am only eating between 1pm and 5pm each “eat” day.  Supposedly, this will get a weight loss of 2lbs / week with almost no exercise.  As, I will also be exercising, I’m hoping for 10lbs / month.  If it is working, I should be under 340lbs by the time Hil gets back from England on 20 April.  I guess we’ll see… Deep sleep:   46min total deep sleep;  5 times: 14m, 7m, 9m, 13m and 5m.  6hrs 47min of total sleep between 1:11am and 8:43am.  Feeling tired.  I felt like I was awake a lot during the night.  The FB shows lots of awake time (25times / 45min), but not long periods. 7.73 miles difference on Fitbit.

19	02	17	Home	0 Min.	0.0 Mi.	No dog walk today due to my heart issues.  I took a pill to slow my heart rate and I am drinking fluids in case it’s something to do with kidney stones. Morning weight:  348lbs.  Down 7lbs from yesterday and up 2lbs from four days ago (13 Feb).  Usually when my weight fluctuates 5 – 7lbs in one day it’s due to kidney stones (grains) getting passed.Deep sleep:  1hr 20min of total deep sleep;  2times: 46m and 33m.  6hrs 3min of total sleep time between 12:33am and 7:09am.  I woke up with powerful palpitations and irregular HB / BP which has lasted into the afternoon.  They stopped about 5:30pm. 5.53 miles difference on Fitbit.

19	02	11	Home	30 Min.	1.0 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool and then home.  Another bright, sunny morning.  Warm in the sun, a little cool in the shade.  The sky was mostly cloudless, but the few that were there were dark underneath. Morning weight:  350lbs.  No change from yesterday; up 2lbs from four days ago (7 Feb).  No groin pain today, but I passed a medium to large grain this morning.  I was a bit surprised it didn’t hurt more than it did.

Morning weight:  350lbs.  No change from yesterday.  2lbs up from four days ago (29 Jan).  I had palpitations again this morning.  I’m going to go on a juice fast this Monday.  Tomorrow is the SuperBowl, so there is no point pretending I’m going to be good.  I may try the first day with just water or water with a little lemon concentrate.  This will be a day-to-day juice fast with no set number of days or weight loss objective.  One day at a time…Deep sleep: 58min total; three times 42m, 6m, and 9m.  5hrs 48min of total sleep between 1:05am and 7:18am.  Woke up with palpitations and slightly bloated hands.  My hands got more bloated until noon, when they got better after drinking a bottle of water. 4.43 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	02	01	Home	30 Min.	1.0 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool and then home.  It was mostly gray and overcast.  More fog than overcast, though. Starting the month at: 350lbs.  Morning weight:  350lbs.  I didn’t feel like I slept well.  I woke up tired and bloated in my chest and upper arms.  I then had an slightly higher number of wee’s before going out on the dog walk.  I usually have at least a half-dozen.  This morning it was closer to a full dozen if not fifteen.  Most of the bloat was gone by the time I finished. Deep sleep: 45 minutes total deep sleep; 2 times, 33m and 16m.  5hrs 46min of total sleep.  I am very tired, so I am not sure how “good” the sleep was.  I woke up to very strong palpitations and broke out in a running sweat twice while on the dog walk.  I then had the same happen twice while just sitting at my PC.  No issues reflected on my FB or on my wrist BP monitor. 4.71 miles difference on Fitbit.
