Someone was writing about whether stress can make you eat or not want to eat. I'll find out soon enough. Just got my annual homeowner's insurance bill. $5200!! Well, at least I didn't have a stroke when I saw that. Up $2000 since last year. When I first moved here in 2011 it was around $1100 a year and eventually settled in around $1800 before huge increases started 3 or 4 years ago. I'm going to call my real estate agent to figure out what to do to get the house sold and closed before insurance is due at the end of June.

The thing I'm finding about trying to eat higher protein than carbs is I can only eat so much chicken breast and eggs only 2-4 a week. I had 2 of the beer battered cod pieces. 16 grams carbs and 10 grams protein so I feel like I need to find 12 more grams of protein without increasing carbs. So today it is't going to happen because I also had a quarter bagel and 4 strawberries. Protein will be somewhere in the 60's and carbs in the 70's. Calories may seem low but I am eating a pretty big volume of food doing IF.

I have weed wacking like crazy. Even at 9am I can barely do 45 minutes to an hour without getting hot and sweaty and not dizzy but maybe light headed. I just hired a teenager from Nextdoor who seems really eager to work. He says he doesn't mind working if it's hot outside. If he shows up I'll have a cooler with Propel and cold drinks but if it's the afternoon tell him he can do an hour every day until the work is done but not more than that if it's 85 or 90 outside. And I'll fire the current lawn service

I just put the app on my phone and am trying to see how it works. Can't figure out how to post a picture on my journal. I'll probably stick to the website. The app is so different.

Still trying to figure out my lower carbs than protein diet. The fatigue was gone yesterday and I feel fine this morning. I seem to be having much more food but lower calories. My food diary, when following my WOE previously was usually 1000 or fewer calories a day. It's been similar in the past week. I always assume calories are probably higher by about 200-300 calories. Unless I am eating only things I weigh and measure and prepare myself I am not sure of the accuracy of the food journal. For example, I baked 8 ounces of chicken breast yesterday. I weighed it and divided in half for 2 meals. But I forgot that I had added a tablespoon, maybe 2 of ginger soy salad dressing. And when I put one tablespoon of cream cheese on 1/4 bagel I don't measure the cream cheese. Not much fits on 1/4 bagel. Now that I think about it I think I put more on the bagel this morning to finish the tub of cream cheese. I keep trying to work in the beer battered cod I bought at Costco but it always seems to make carbs too high for the day. And I don't want the house to smell like fish in case someone looks at the house. Yesterday I had coffee for breakfast and 1/4 bagel PLUS the yogurt with sliced almonds. Much more than I usually eat in the morning. I cooked the chicken in the morning and ate 4 ounces around 10am. Then I had to leave when someone came to look at the house. Around 2pm I slice 3 ounces of avocado, a roma tomato, and added 3 large strawberries, thanks Katsolo for the avocado and tomato idea. I was really full after that. I had the rest of the chicken around 4. No IF yesterday since I ate for a longer period of time maybe 5:30 to 4:30. Today I will do more weed wacking since my lawn care service appears to have given up on me. Maybe take Bobby for a walk before it gets too warm. He was happy this morning when I added the yolk of a hard boiled egg to his food dish. Doctor told me to just eat egg whites or limit amount of whole eggs to just a couple a week. Sometimes I listen to him.

I have a doctor appointment in a few hours. Not eating before the appointment. Will weigh myself with clothes and shoes before leaving the house so I can compare my scale with the doctor's scale. I haven't posted my weight here for at least 2 months. Didn't want to see anything in the 180's after working so long to get below it. But on May 6th I stepped on the scale. 187. I consoled myself that it was after 2 cups of coffee and whatever else I ate or drank that morning. First thing in the morning on the 7th I weighed 185. Don't remember the fractions of pounds. This morning I was exactly 180. Looking at the calendar that is 5 pounds in a week! Not sure if it is because of the big reduction in carbs or just water. But the last time I lost 5 pounds in a week I had hyperthyroidism.

I will post my weight when it gets back to 178.5 or Sunday, whichever comes first
