I walked Shiva up to the pool, west on North 6th to Fitzpatrick, north to Holbrook, west to Claudia, north to Huron, east to Ronald Way and then north to home.  Grey and lightly spitting for the whole walk.  Tickling on the top of my head, but not enough to wet my clothes (until the very end of the walk).

19	03	17	Home	30 Min.	1.0 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool and then home.  Another sunny and warm day, but it was cooler than yesterday. Morning weight: 358lbs.  My high: 358lbs; my low: 348lbs.  My high is down 1lb from yesterday and my low is the same as yesterday.  My high is 2lbs up from four days ago; my low is also 2lbs up from four days ago.

19	03	16	Home	30 Min.	1.0 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool and then home.  Another sunny and warm day.  Barely a cloud in the sky.  I just wore a t-shirt (and was still sweating). Morning weight: 359lbs.  My high: 359lbs; my low: 348lbs.   My high is up 1lb from yesterday and my low is the same as yesterday.  My high is 2lbs up from four days ago and my low is 3lbs up from four days ago.  My hands feel slightly bloated.  Very, very tired.  I feel like I got NO sleep even though I was in bed just over 8hrs. Deep sleep:  FB did not show any sleep breakdown.  3hrs 16mins of total sleep between 2:02am and 8:07am with 12 times restless and 2hrs 49mins awake / restless.  All of which explains why I feel exhausted today. 8.74 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	03	15	Home	30 Min.	1.0 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool and then home.  Another sunny and warm day.  Barely a cloud in the sky. Morning weight: 358lbs.  My high: 358lbs;  my low: 348lbs.   Both are the same as yesterday.  My high is 3lbs up from four days ago;  my low is 4lbs up from four days ago.  So far, I am showing little to no time or grazing discipline.  It’s surprising I’m not gaining something back and still seem smaller around the belly. Deep sleep:  No sleep reading(s) on FB.  4hrs 28mins of total sleep between 1:31am and 7:23am.  I went to bed before mid-night and got up about 7:20-7:30am.  Very tired today.  I felt like I got no sleep.  I guess the FB agrees. 4.58 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	03	14	Home	30 Min.	1.0 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool and then home.  Another sunny and warm day.  Barely a cloud in the sky. Morning weight: 358lbs.  My high: 358lbs; my low: 348lbs.  My high is 2lbs up from yesterday and 2lbs down from four days ago.  My low is 1lb up from yesterday and the same as four days ago.  The main problem is I’m not sticking to the calorie restriction on the fast days and I’m not sticking to the three fixed meals on the feast days.  From here until Hil comes back, I will be strict…  Last night I tried on some 48 waist and I can fit in them and button the waist.  I also tried on some 44 waist jeans.  They went on my legs, but the waist is about 8 inches away.  (LOL) Deep sleep:  1hr 2mins of total deep sleep;  3 times:  41m, 14m and 6min.  58mins of total awake time;  15 times.  5hrs 48mins of total sleep time between 11:50pm and 6:36am (per FB).  I went to sleep about 11:30pm and got up about 7:15am.  Again, very tired and even a bit “confused” feeling. 4.72 miles difference on Fitbit.

I walked Shiva up to the pool, west on North 6th to the BART trail, north to Holbrook, east to Claudia, north to Huron, east to Ronald Way and then north to home.  Sunny, cloudless but cool with a chilly breeze. Morning weight: 356lbs.  My high: 356lbs; my low: 347lbs.  My high is 1lb down from yesterday and 1lb up from four days ago.  My low is 2lbs up from yesterday and 2lbs up from four days ago. Deep sleep:  1hr 27min total deep sleep;  4 times: 1hr, 17m, 5m and 6min.  Despite over 1hr of deep sleep, I am very tired today.  1hr 10min of awake time;  18 times.  5hrs 41mins of total sleep between 12:20am and 7:11am. 5.08 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	03	12	Home	30 Min.	1.0 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool and then home.  Another sunny day with clear skies.  Warm, but with a cooling wind.  I am having lots of groin / kidney stone pain today, so I just didn’t feel like going for the longer walk today.  I drank a full bottle of cherry juice and am now feeling much better. Morning weight: 357lbs.   My high: 357lbs; my low: 345lbs.  My high is 2lbs up from yesterday and 2lbs from four days ago.  My low is 1lb up from yesterday and the same as four days ago. Deep sleep:  1hr 18min of total deep sleep;  4 times:  43m, 5m, 5m and 23min.  8hrs of total sleep between  9:23pm and 7:13am.  1hr 50min of total awake time;  15 times.  I went to bed about 11:30pm.  I was watching a movie between 9pm and bed time, so I guess that’s what FB was picking up. 8.64 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	03	11	Home	41 Min.	1.3 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool, west on North 6th to Middlebrook, north to Holbrook, west to Claudia, north to Huron, east to Ronald Way and then north to home.  Sunny and warm with not a cloud in the sky. Morning weight: 355lbs.  My high: 355lbs; my low: 344lbs.  My high is 5lbs down from yesterday and the same as four days ago.  My low is 4lbs down from yesterday and 1lb down from four days ago.  Went to get my blood drawn for my cardiology apmt in a couple of weeks.  Today was an “eat” day, and boy did I ever.  Sometimes we just give in and move forward tomorrow…  Actually, I waited until almost 1pm to eat, because I didn’t feel hungry, but when I went to eat, I went overboard.  Lessons learned (or learning). Deep sleep:  26min of total deep sleep;  1 time.  24min awake time;  8 times.  3hrs 55min of total sleep between 2am and 5:59am.  I went to bed just after mid-night.  I guess I’m still not settled enough for the FB to register my sleep accurately. 3.85 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	03	10	Home	30 Min.	1.0 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool and then home.  I dressed for rain and it spit occasionally.  Mostly sunshine, though. Morning weight: 360lbs.  My high: 360lbs; my low: 348lbs.  My high was 5lbs up from yesterday and my low was 3lbs up from yesterday.  My high is 6lbs higher than four days ago and my low is 1lb higher than four days ago.  Today was supposed to be a “fasting” day – meaning only one “limited” meal.  I had toast for breakfast before church and then lunch with my mom.  We had fast food (Burger King).  It was delicious, but obviously outside of my calorie range for a “fasting” day.  This is particularly bad because it came after gaining 5lbs on my high weight from yesterday.  Still, I am trying to learn from all of this and one of the most important lessons is not to beat yourself up.  Just get on with it.  Tomorrow is another “feast” day, so I will try to limit the junk food and drink more water. Deep sleep:  No deep sleep recorded on FB.  Also, no time(s) awake recorded.  I went to bed at 12:30am and got up at 8:00am (daylight savings 7am).  Total sleep FB recorded was 1h 4mins between 6:03am and 8am.  I went to bed just after mid-night. 4.57 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	03	09	Home	49 Min.	1.3 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool, west on North 6th to Reva, north to Holbrook, west to Claudia, north to Huron, east to Ronald Way and then north to home.  The sky was gray and mostly overcast, the sun came out and it never did rain on us. Morning weight: 355lbs.  My high: 355lbs; my low: 345lbs.  Both were no change to either from yesterday and both were down 2lbs from four days ago.  I am not being consistent on my fasting days and not healthy on my feasting days.  I feel like I’m still getting smaller, but I’m not consistently losing weight.  I definitely need to go to one meal on my fasting days and clean meals (with no snacking) on me feasting days. Deep sleep:  39min of total deep sleep;  2 times 5m and 34min.  I am still tired so I guess the short duration is pretty reflective.  I normally require at least 60 minutes of deep sleep on the FB to feel good and rested the next day.  1hr 1min of total awake time;  awake 20 times.  5hrs 58min of total sleep time between 12:56am and 7:55am.  I actually went to bed just after 12am and got up just about 8:30am. 5.29 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	03	08	Home	34 Min.	1.3 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool, west on North 6th to Fitzpatrick, north to Holbrook, west to Claudia, north to Huron, east to Ronald Way and then north to home. The sky was clear, the sun should have been warm, but it was not particularly so and there was a cold and regular (almost steady) wind. Morning weight: 355lbs.  My high: 355lbs; my low: 345lbs.  Both were no change to either from yesterday and both were down 3lbs from four days ago.  Groin pain eased significantly this morning. Deep sleep:  no deep sleep recorded.  Total sleep was 54mins between 4:19am and 5:51am.  I went to bed at 12am and got up at 7am, so it should have been about 7hrs – not 54 minutes..  I was up several times to use the bathroom.  I did not feel like I slept at all – maybe dozed a couple of times for 30 to 60 minutes at a time.  I am exhausted today! 5.76 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	03	07	Home	30 Min.	1.0 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool and then home.  Mostly sunny, but with a cool wind. Morning weight: 355lbs.  My High: 355lbs; my low: 345lbs.  The high is up 1lb from yesterday and down 1lb from four days ago (3 Mar).  My low is down 2lbs from yesterday and 1lb from four days ago.  No swelling in hands or feet.  Still some groin discomfort, but not as bad as yesterday.  I still need to drink more water!

Deep sleep:  26min of deep sleep;  two times:  6m and 20min.  3hrs 45min of total sleep between 3:01am and 7:16am.  30min total awake time;  12 times.  I went to bed at 12:15am.  I’m not sure why the FB says 3am. 9.07 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	03	05	Home	39 Min.	1.3 Mi.	I walked Shiva up to the pool, west on North 6th to Fitzpatrick, north to Holbrook, west to Claudia, north to Huron, east to Ronald Way and then north to home.  Grey and spitting every now and then.  Shiva got her bath today.

19	03	03	Home	40 Min.	1.3 Mi.	Hil and I walked Shiva up to the pool, west on North 6th to Reva, north to Holbrook, west to Claudia, north to Huron, east to Ronald Way and north to home.  The sky was mostly cloudy, but it did not rain or really even spit.   Just the tiniest bit of spit at the very end of the walk.  The forecast was rain all day, so it was a pleasant surprise (although I do like the rain).  Hil flies to Liverpool today.  😦 Morning weight: 356lbs.  My High: 356lbs; my low: 346lbs.  The high is 2lbs down from yesterday and 3lbs up from four days ago (27 Feb).  My low is 2lbs down from yesterday up 3lbs up from my low four days ago.  No swelling in hands or feet on waking up, OR during the dog walk.  This morning is the first time in ages I distinctly remember waking up with no kidney / groin pain.  (Yipee!!) Deep sleep: 31min total deep sleep; 1 time.  1st sleep session: 1hr 12min between 11:59pm and 1:35am, with 24min awake time in the middle. 2nd sleep session: 3hrs 59mins between 3:05am and 7:29am. 18 times awake for 25min total awake time. All awake time during the second session. Total sleep time: 5hrs 11min between 11:59pm and 7:29am. 49mins of total awake time during both sessions. I got up feeling okay, but felt more sleepy / tired as the morning wore on. 12.54 miles difference on Fitbit.
19	03	02	Home	36 Min.	1.3 Mi.	Hil and I walked Shiva up to the pool, west on North 6th to Reva, north to Holbrook, west to Claudia, north to Huron, east to Ronald Way and north to home.  The sky was very dark.  It was raining overnight, so everywhere is soaked, but it was only occasionally spitting while we walked. Morning weight: 358lbs.  My High: 358lbs; my low: 348lbs.  The high is the same as yesterday and 3lbs down from four days ago (26 Feb).  My low is the same as yesterday up 1lb from my low four days ago.  No swelling in hands or feet on waking up, OR during the dog walk.  Again, except for my kidney stone / groin pain, I’m feeling very good.  The groin pain is a lot less than it has been the few days – so there is some improvement there, too. Deep sleep:  1hr of total deep sleep;  3 times: 5m, 8m and 47min.  5hrs 50min of total sleep between 12:13am and 6:44am.  41min of total awake time;  awake 11 times.  I got up once for the toilet then went back to bed for more sleep. 12.77 miles difference on Fitbit.
