Weight Reports for Seven and Eight Months
Sorry I haven’t posted for a while, but we moved from Chapala to a little town in Colima, Mexico. We live a couple miles from the Pacific in a little cottage we are renovating. We hope to have it available for holiday rentals by late in 2010. We call it Casita Chuparosa — I’ll put a link in the blogroll when I get the new blog up.
So, shortly before we moved, on September 30th, we weighed in. Isabel had gained 3/10 kilo, and I gained 6/10 kilo. Then we weighed ourselves again at the beginning of November (the 2nd) and Isabel was down 1.5 kilos, while I gained again — another 9/10 of a kilo. Different reactions to the stress of moving I guess. Didn’t help me any that we weighed ourselves when stopping to shop, on the way home from an afternoon at the beach, where we had huge fish-fillet dinners, a jug of coconut water. The electronic scale here also has an attachment for blood pressure and body-fat-index measurement. My blood pressure was right-on at 140/89, while Isabel’s was a bit low. That was anomalous for her, she has had frequent doctor visits (fertility specialists) in the past two years, and never had abnormal blood pressure levels. The body-fat measure is by electronic impedance, so not very accurate, it showed very low for both of us: 21.3% for me and 27.9% for her.
- Date - My weight (kilos) - Isabel’s Weight (kilos)
- 5 March 2008 - 99.2 - 65.9
- 1 Sept 2008 - 94.6 - 61.9
- 30 Sept 2008 - 95.2 - 62.2
- 2 Nov 2008 - 96.1 - 60.7
All through this hectic time we have stuck to our fasting schedule, except on the day we actually moved (Oct 2nd) when circumstances did not make it convenient to eat at the usual hour. Of course after eight months, the diet is so routine we barely need to think about it.
Health-wise we are both feeling fit. As I mentioned earlier, Isabel’s arthritis has returned somewhat, but not as severe as it was before beginning the diet. I have not had any attacks of gout, my leg-cramps have not returned, and we each caught a slight cold in October, but symptoms were shorter-lived than usual, and less severe. My only complaint is that I can not connect to the Internet from the beach!
If you are contemplating a fasting diet, or have tried it, we would love to hear from you! Just join this blog and post a comment…
