Made some low carb chili over the weekend. The worst thing in it was the tomato paste! Who knew tomato paste had 30g of carbs in a tiny 6 ounce can?!

Prior week's average weight was 196.25 and this past week's average weight was 194.5, a total loss for the week of 1.75 for the week. That number will likely go down to 1.0 this coming week because I had a new low that could have been hydration-related, so I don't want to get too excited, but as long as my average is about 1 pound a week, I'm thrilled!

My goal is to get to 187 by Halloween. That's 7 pounds in 6 weeks. I think at 1.25 pounds a week, it's totally doable! I made a pact with a friend yesterday: no candy on Halloween this year. Not one piece. Who's with me??? I almost want to make it a one week challenge on here. Should I?

New low today of 194. Wow, so happy! Got past some back-up/prune issues. It's not like I can drink prune juice on my new low carb plan. Haha. I'm taking a supplement called Colon Cleanse that seems to be helping. Some herbal pill that is supposed to help and I think it finally is.

Day 2 on Metformin and waking blood sugar was 113. I know it's only Day 2, but I sort of hoped it would work instantly, like an Advil. However, it would appear that it needs to build up in my system. Is there anyone else who is on it who can say how long it took to be effective for them?

Hitting the gym in the hopes that will lower blood sugar as well.

Visit with doctor yesterday went great. He was so proud of me for taking the initiative to begin low carb (sub 20g net carb) eating plan without waiting a whole month to see him again, and he was even more thrilled to see that I lost 5 pounds in the month since I last saw him, an average of 1.25 pounds per week, as calculated by my weekly weighings.

He agreed based on my fasting blood sugars of 109-117 that I should be on Metformin for at least a month to see if it makes a difference. As an insulin resistant pre-diabetic, it's crucial to reduce my blood sugar one way or another to prevent becoming a full blown diabetic. Since I have eliminated all but 20g of carbs from my diet, there is no more that I can do myself. I'm pleased with this decision.

I will continue to take my blood sugar readings regularly to see how soon (if at all) a difference occurs. The pharmacist said it could be as soon as 3 days or as long as 10.

My doctor also confirmed yesterday that because of several other conditions I have, that I also have something called Metabolic Syndrome, a whole 'nother thing I must now read up on and become and expert on. Sigh. Something new to read and research in my "copious" spare time. LOL. He also said I could have a fatty liver, which is another Bad Thing. I need to look into that, too. They are running blood on that today.

I'm not usually one to wallow in regret, and I'm not admitting that I'm doing so now, but I'm teetering on regretting not having done something about my health sooner. Since I can't go back, I can only be glad that I did something a year ago when I did!

I'm loving my new challenges: Exercise with your check: Twice a day (check!). Twenty carbs or less a day: It's now a no-brainer (check!). 10KG in 10 weeks...eeek, that remains to be seen, but I'm on track and no slips in sight makes me hopeful.

My ketosis is waning. I did a blood monitor test for my levels today. I should be between 0.5 and 3.0. This morning I was at 0.1 for no good reason at all. I haven't cheated, my net carbs were at less than 8g yesterday, and I've been exercising. The other day I was at 0.5 and I was so happy, but then it went to 0.4 and now 0.1. Kind of pissed off, but hanging in there.

Gave up all diet sodas, no artificial sweeteners. No hidden carbs whatsoever. Reading all labels so carefully. No explanation whatsoever, except that the Nova Blood Monitor I use reads about .5 lover than the Precision that the experts like better. Still, even if I was at .6 (adding back the .5 to the .1), I should be at 2.0 with the amount of fat I'm eating. 65-76% fat and <10g carbs daily should have me at a nice high ketone level without question!

I can only think that my pre-diabetes is playing havoc with my blood sugar levels and keeping my body's ability to burn fat efficiently at a true minimum. Counting the hours until I see the doctor Thursday. This week can't go fast enough for my 3PM appointment with him!

Nice drop this AM. Weekly average for last week gave me a net loss of 1.25 for the prior week, so I'm on track.
