From Job-loss to Weight-loss

So... Here I am again. I am unemployed. And am trying to regain control over my weight. I got a desk job that I thought was going to let me chase my dreams of performing and all it did was make me fat again. Not 490 pounds fat. But I did balloon up to 370. Ugh. So frustrating. But I had a mental breakdown and decided to kick that office job to the curb. I was literally going crazy. But I am in counceling and getting my weight back under control. I have lost 40 pounds. Which I should be thrilled about. But that's another topic for my doctor.

But I am kicking this back up to document my foray into water fasting and ketosis. I have a glucose monitor and am purchasing a ketone monitor. Hopefully I will be able to update this with charts of my success or failures. I have hit a plateau and old school readers of this blog will know that I am no stranger to shaking things up. Right now I am almost 42 hours into my water fast. There is some really compelling science behind this. The goal is to get my body to the state of Ketosis which means your body prefers to burn fat for energy. You can see why this would be ideal. We shall see! I have no funny stories yet. So pardon the dryness. I am also looking into getting checked for endorphin deficiency because no matter how hard I work out, I am just a pissed of drowned harassed rat. I hate every second no matter what the exercise is. Which is not fun when you are working out 6-7 hours a week.

Stay tuned!
