day 87 ...

no late-night eating ... 46 days in a row ... another new world record !!!

NO headaches this morning. day 2 of the evening coffee program, in fact, i almost forgot and didn't make the coffee until 10:00pm. it didn't keep me up but i did wake up after about an hours sleep and was a bit restless for a couple of hours. i even risked a couple of tablespoons of yogurt, but i really want to avoid any potential headache-inducing foods so as to test out this caffeine withdrawal hypothesis.

really allowed myself to get bored and did too much snacking; must constantly be on the alert for that. snowing today, so it will be a mainly indoors day and i will have to get busy with some odd jobs.

a 3 star day ... 7 in a row !

no late-night eating ... 47 days in a row ... another new world record !!!

went off the rails big-time ... had a longish story typed out but lost it because this site seems to time you out quickly when writing an entry. suffice to say that cookies and muffins were involved. finally managed to conjure up enough self-control to toss out the last half of the bag of cookies.

the good news ... kept my late-night, no-eating streak alive and woke up with NO headache after day 3 of the evening coffee program.

in spite of another dull, cold, indoorsy winter day i managed to keep myself just busy enough to avoid too much snacking, kept on top of my water intake and the monday morning weigh-in shows a 1.5lb. loss for the week in spite of saturdays cookie debacle !

NO morning headache ... 4 days in a row and 4 days on the evening coffee program. co-incidence ? time will tell.

NO morning headache ... 6 days in a row and 6 days on the evening coffee program.

ticking along nicely with a string of wins, no headaches, and a scale that is giving me positive feedback. starting to think about what i will do when i reach the maintenance stage; haven't come up with any answers but i have plenty of time to think about it. still a ways to go yet.

despite all the successive wins in this department there's still a point somewhere in the night, EVERY night, where i am going to think that "just a little snack" would be in order. if i didn't regularly have dinner/dessert SO very late in the evening, the window of opportunity for temptation to win would be open for much longer.

unfortunately, knocked out of bed early by a moderate headache. had 2 muffins earlier in the day (around noon i think), so they would be the prime suspects, even though baked goods, when eaten early enough, don't seem to have been a problem in the past. will avoid them and see how things go. i did have my evening coffee, marking day 8 of the evening coffee program, so i am a little discouraged about this. will continue the evening coffee program as 7 mornings in a row without headaches hasn't happened for many months, perhaps even a couple of years. the muffins were planned, not an impulse, so no demerit there.

NO headache this morning, so 8 out of 9 days on the evening coffee program have resulted in headache-free mornings.

had the usual saturday morning (high calorie) restaurant breakfast with grandson this morning. my calorie deficit is such that i can afford to do this once a week so it's all good there. ticking along swimmingly towards the official monday morning weigh-in and the scale is telling me to stay the course.

NO headache this morning ... so 9 out of 10 days on the evening coffee program have resulted in headache-free mornings.

other than staying away from the kitchen after dinner, the biggest challenge i seem to face lately is staying away from the cottage cheese; oh how i love the taste of that stuff. today will be mostly an indoors day so it will be a challenge to stay out of the kitchen.

NO headache this morning ... 11 out of 12 days on the evening coffee program have resulted in headache-free mornings.

need a bit of variety in my diet but not sure what to add. nuts are healthy enough but pack a big calorie load; ditto for any grain that i can think of. i have had ground beef a few times since i started this and i really enjoy it. as long as i can keep the portion size down i think it would be ok.; or maybe some canned beans ... also high in calories but packing a good dose of fibre. also going to try some metamusil; fibre has been lacking since giving up bread.

NO headache this morning ... 12 out of 13 days on the evening coffee program have resulted in headache-free mornings. not ready yet, but a couple more days of this and i will re-introduce yogurt into the menu and see whether it is, in fact, a problem or not.

ticking along nicely; still need to put a bit more variety into the menu. today i am definitely going to pickup some ground beef and a couple of cans of beans.

another 3 star day ... 10 in a row. i think this may be a new world record, too. will have to go back through my entries to confirm.

day 100 ... wow ... i have stuck to something for 100 days !!!

no late night eating ... 59 days in a row ... another new world record !

the good news ... introduced wheat back into the diet and did NOT suffer a morning headache as a result. the evening coffee program is looking like a game-changer.
the bad news ... i had planned on a muffin and a croissant; the lady at the bakery tossed in a free croissant because it was near the end of the day. i should have used some willpower to save it for the next day, or at LEAST keep it for the evening dessert, but i inhaled it like a hurtin' addict. demerit for the clean-eating category; such a shame as i would have tied the world record at 12 days had i resisted the temptation.

didn't go shopping yesterday so didn't have any of my "suspect" foods to re-introduce into the menu. going to get some yogurt today and try that. 15 out of 16 days on the evening coffee program have resulted in no morning headache. i did pickup a fibre supplement, so we'll see how that goes.

had some yogurt yesterday as well as some canned beans, an apple and a couple of oranges with no ill effects. 16 out of 17 days on the evening coffee program with no morning headache. today i will add a bun or two and a grapefruit as well as the remainder of the can of beans and see what happens. nothing but cold, wet weather forecast for the coming week, so it will be a bit of a challenge to keep busy and stay away from the snacking. even though my snacks are, almost without exception, healthy foods, there is still the danger of going overboard, especially on fruit.

monday, march 1, 2021 ... mondays are weekly weigh-in day ... scale shows 189.5 lbs. with march being a long month, a loss of 4.5lbs for the month seems reasonable, so goal for april 1 weigh-in is a crisp, even 185lbs.

fell into the old habit of snacking, rather than pouring a glass of water, so i earn a "fail" in the water intake category.

ate 2 buns last night (instead of a proper dinner, so calorie deficit should still be ok for the day). no morning headache resulted. 17 out of 18 days on the evening coffee program resulted in no morning headache.

for the 2nd day in a row i reached for snacks rather than water. even though the snacks are healthy ... either fruit or cottage cheese ... it's not overly hard to rack up a calorie excess by doing that.

SNACKING IS NOT MY HOBBY ... WATER IS MY FRIEND !
SNACKING IS NOT MY HOBBY ... WATER IS MY FRIEND !

had a very, very, faint headache this morning; ALMOST not worth mentioning, but considering how long i have had this problem for, i don't want to let it slide. prime suspect : i had maybe a cup or more of yogurt yesterday. 19 out of 21 days on the evening coffee program have resulted in NO morning headaches.

on the headache front ... yesterday i went to the bakery and bought a muffin and a croissant ... planned, no demerit for this, i am doing well with the calorie deficit so i could afford it and wanted to see whether it resulted in a morning headache .. it did. mild-to-moderate in intensity. as a side note, i bought them at 430pm and did not tear into them until late evening, for my after-dinner dessert. pretty big show of will-power there, i sez ! today i am going to get one only, either croissant or muffin, and see how that goes. i did have some yogurt earlier in the day so it could be either, or both cumulatively. going to avoid yogurt today.

the plan was to have just a muffin OR a croissant but when i was at the bakery i caved in a bought both. not going to penalize myself for it with a demerit cuz when all is said and done i still ran at a calorie deficit, just a slightly smaller one is all. the good news is that having eaten them both and NO yogurt i did not have a morning headache. today i am going to flip it around ... no wheat/sugar and plenty of yogurt. 21 of 24 days on the evening coffee program have resulted in no morning headache.

as planned, i avoided wheat/sugar and had a fair bit of yogurt. no morning headache, so still not sure of the cause but it is starting to look like maybe a cumulative effect of eating both yogurt and wheat on the same day. will just have to be careful in that regard. 22 of 25 days on the evening coffee program have resulted in no morning headaches. monday is weigh-in day and i only showed a 1/2 lb loss instead of the planned 1 lb loss for the week, but i know that the scale is finicky and will likely make it up to me next monday as long as i work the plan. ticking along nicely again, racking up 3 star days. nice weather forecast for the next 4 days so boredom should not be an issue.

had plenty of yogurt, no wheat/sugar, and no morning headache. 23 of 26 days on the evening coffee program have resulted in no morning headaches. being able to enjoy an evening coffee AND have it help immensely with a long-standing health issue almost feels too good to be true.

going to have some sushi for dinner tonight so, in order to accommodate the immense calorie load in a handful of rice, i will have to really watch the snacking today. on a real winning streak here; the scale isn't quite keeping up but history shows that it will eventually make it up to me as long as i keep working the plan.

whenever i wake up to turn off a light or go to the washroom the thought of a snack ALWAYS crosses my mind. i am definitely not hungry when this happens; i am just looking for that shot of "feel good" . it's also from so many years (decades, even) of habit, but my world record is so impressive to me that it's not too hard to fight the urge, it's over in less than a minute.

as planned, had sushi for dinner last night with no ill effects. 24 of 27 days on the evening coffee program have resulted in no morning headaches. the scale is now responding to my string of successes, so that's cool. may indulge in a muffin for dessert tonight.

yesterday was a busy day and when that happens it's not uncommon for me to forget about water ... not this time. made sure i squeezed in a couple of glasses during the day so all is well there. dinner was extremely late and, to my great surprise, i felt full and was unable to finish it, leaving a half of a chicken breast ready for todays lunch. never did get to the bakery to buy a muffin, so i can definitely afford, calorie-wise, to eat one today. even woke the motorcycle up from it's winter hibernation and rode it around the block. still a bit cool out for that but riding season is only days away now. all in all, a good day. oh yeah, and 25 out of 28 days on the evening coffee program have resulted in no morning headaches; so there's that.

day 114 ...

no late-night eating ... 73 days in a row ... another new world record !

the scale showed a 1lb. GAIN between yesterday morning and this morning. i am used to it being 'reluctant' to show a loss, but i think this is the first time it has ever shown a gain. a little unsettling, but i am staying the course and working the plan. this has always worked thus far. 26/29 days on "the program" have resulted in headache-free mornings.

my guilty pleasure these days is definitely cottage cheese. i can easily devour a 1lb. container of this each day and be wanting more. the 1lb. container carries a calorie load of 450 calories but since i am losing weight at very close to, if not over, the planned 1 lb. per week rate i guess i should be ok with it.

had sushi for dinner last night. i consider this to be a bit of a "treat" due to the high calorie load of rice, so trying to keep the food fairly spartan today. the scale still hasn't taken back that extra pound that it carelessly tossed on me yesterday. 27/30 days with no headache.

had a busy day AND drank enough water AND kept the snacking down so, all in all, the day went well, although i did indulge in a couple of buns for dessert so i didn't keep the calories down as low as i would have liked. i'm sure i still ran at a deficit though. 28/31 days with no morning headache.

the scale took back that pound that it carelessly tossed at me a few days ago, so i am feeling a bit better about things. managed to stay away from buns/muffins/rice/potatoes yesterday so i think i can afford some hash browns with dinner today. or maybe i will bank those calories and have a muffin tomorrow. nice to be able to "afford" it.

another 3 star day ... that makes 12 in a row which ties the existing world record ! needless to say i am motivated to have a good day today so that tomorrow i can claim the world record as my own ! yeeeeeaaaaaahhhh !

really on a roll now. the nice weather helps as it moves me a bit further from the kitchen for longer stretches of time AND i have been diligent about getting some water when i do pass through the kitchen. water is my friend. vegetables are my friend. fruit is my good friend but i have to be careful about having too much of a good thing. frozen fruit, thawed and brought to slightly above room temperature in the microwave, is delicious !
didn't use up my "banked" calories so will probably do that today.

had a muffin for after-dinner dessert last night, as planned. the downside to having these "treats" is that they are never enough, they always leave you wanting more, and last night was no exception. got through it though.

morning headaches remain firmly under control by having a cup of coffee every evening around 8pm. the scale always responds nicely when i string together a bunch of 3 star days ... speaking of which ...

last night after dinner i actually had the sensation of feeling full; this rarely happens so it's worth a mention. didn't stop me from feeling like having a snack around 2am though ... so there's that ... still.
chicken and fish, while delicious, does get a bit boring so will look for something a little different tonight. not sure what. maybe some sushi or just have a big salad and indulge in a couple of sourdough buns.
weather is forecast to be rainy for the next 7 days with MAYBE a few hours of sun on monday so that is going to be a challenge.

had a muffin as planned and had just the slightest of headaches in the morning. i am pretty danged sure now that i am sensitive to wheat. as long as i don't eat half a loaf in one day like in the bad old days i should be fine.
ticking along on auto-pilot these days. wishing i could have a BIT more (junky) food but really, doing just fine . i keep reminding myself that food is not to be used as a drug, and that helps. also, water is my friend.

tonights indulgence may be a can of beans ... used to be called pork and beans but i think they dropped the pretense of it containing any pork.
