yeah, I have done pretty well sticking to my "diet". its not really a diet because its more of a fundamental change in eating habits. No sodas or energy drinks or caffeine, no chips etc.
down about 9 lbs in 6 weeks...which is about an ideal rate of loss. from 238 down to 229 this morning. was down to 227 a few days ago but thats how it fluctuates when you are losing (or gaining)
I wont be TOO excited about the weight loss until I get below 209ish. Thats where I was around last Nov. That had been about a years progress down from 259ish to 209. I decided to take a break at the 209 and somehow crept back up to 238. Its crazy how it creeps back on.
In any case I definitely want a 6 pack lol. Yes, in a way its a shallow and meaningless thing, but it is what it is. Im only guessing but id say id have to be around 181 or so to even dream of defined abs. So I have a good way to go
When i went from 259 down to 209 I was lifting weights like 6-7 times per week. The crazy thing is, i was still drinking 2 Mt Dew Amps every day religiously. I just made it work out as far as the calories. I feel so much better about things now that I am doing without those 60 grams of sugar and who knows what all chemicals
--------------
I still havent totally eliminated so called "trigger" foods. I couldnt swear that im gluten free. I doubt I am since I have protein shakes 5-6 days per week and I always put some oatmeal in them. Im sure there are other things I can do to peck away at possible food triggers. For now I am going to content myself with the radical changes ive already made and i'll keep the weight lose going.
Pretty sure I am going to try some tanning today. I want to find out if the tanning beds at the local gym are uva "a" or uva "b". from what I read the "b" is the type that can be beneficial for psoriasis. In any case im going to try some tanning, if for no other reason that more vit D in the body.
I cant say ive seen many changes in my Ps. Im still taking the Humera but waaaayyyyy less frequent than recommended. It is what it is.
Peace, JonJon
