I over exerted myself and hurt my knee. I've taken a break from the running to allow it to heal. It is starting to feel better, but I will give it one more day to be safe and restart again with just walking. It is my own fault for trying to be competitive.
I've had to perform an emergency move as the sewage lines busted under my apartment, and it has been a hectic time trying to get everything straightened out. The good news is the doctors say that the pain I have is not significant, although I do have scoliosis, there are no abnormalities or issues that would warrant surgery. Just need to get the weight down and get my physical therapy in.
I've finally rid the place of all of the random junk food and the like, I had stocked up on a large number of frozen meals as I knew I would just not be able to cook, and have been preparing to start back up on the Ketosis diet at least to get myself back down into the 240s so I can fit in my clothes better again.
I can see how I got so big before. Eating things like frozen pizza, ice cream, going out to pick up food from Taco Bell and the like... the food is very dense in calories and I find myself hungry soon after a meal unless I gorge myself.
I've made a few attempts in the past to get back on track and never really stuck, always making up some kind of excuse for my poor eating habits, but I know that I will not be in a good place if I keep letting this happen.
I purchased a grill to give me the option to grill meats and veggies, to add a little variety to my diet, and I'll use my off days to prepare meals for the rest of the week. A balance issue I've had in the past is not having food prepared for when I start to get hungry, and then over eating as by the time the food is ready I'm very hungry. I just need to break up the meals so that I don't end up famished and gorging myself at the earliest possible point.
The goal is to lose 2 pounds a week and reach 250 pounds by September 1st. I know that is technically a rate of more than 2 pounds a week, but I'm figuring I will lose at least 5 pounds of water weight during that time so I wanted to account for that.
On a side note, I am trying to find additional recipes for the Ketosis diet. I am struggling finding recipes that actually meet the 5/20/75 ratio I am going for. There is a little wiggle room, but I do not want to drop below 70% fat or exceed 5% carbs as I do not want to risk breaking Ketosis. As long as I maintain it properly I feel great and have a reduced appetite, but if I accidentally eat too many carbs I tend to not feel very well and end up very hungry. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
