On Sunday morning, my daughter and I took a stroll to a neighborhood IHOP. There are plenty of places to find a quick and tasty breakfast in Chicago. We purposefully chose a place more than 3 miles from home. Naturally, we walked. I made a healthy choice of a ham and cheese omelette. Once we walked back home, it was time for me to jump in my car and head to Cincinnati so that I could be in front of a customer at 10:00AM Monday morning.

The thing of particular significance to me is that our 7.25 round-trip hike to IHOP on Sunday morning was not even our first jaunt of the day...

...My daughter and I have an agreement. I will never refuse an invitation to take a walk in the neighborhood. On Saturday night after midnight, which was technically Sunday Morning, we took a 4 mile stroll. This meant that our IHOP hike was our SECOND HIKE of the day. Well, you have to understand, the weather in Chicago has recently been spectacular, so this is the time of year to take advantage of that...

BACK TO THE DOCTOR

Although in the past two or three weeks I have been struggling to continue to moderate my food consumption as easily as I did when I started - there is no denying that I have continued to make progress.

DECEMBER 24, 2014 initial doctor visit/wellness exam 309 lbs.
On this day, I was already quite aware that my weight was completely out-of-control and that I was
quite fat - This was the day that I learned that I was clinically MORBID OBESE CLASS III.

FEBRUARY 20, 2015 first follow-up with doctor 254.5 lbs.
On this day, I somewhat stunned my doctor showing up in the office more than 50 pounds lighter
in the space of two months. During this visit, the doctor game me his 'blessing' to continue with
the 1000 calorie/day regiment that I was on - as long as I continue to feel good.

MAY 11, 2015 second follow-up with doctor 216.1 lbs.
My appointment is later this morning. Among the things that I will discuss with Dr Tenhundfeld
will be my plan for going forward. This time I am looking for the blessing to increase my
calories up to 1800 calories/day as long as he agrees that with this I should continue to lose weight
(much more slowly) During the past three month, I did experience a time when I was not feeling
good (in fact my muscles started to ache) which I assumed was from lack of fuel. This has
since cleared up since I increased my calories. I will be interested to see if my resting heartbeat
has continued to decline. I am planning to fasting until morning so that my blood can be tested
again to insure that I am receiving all the nutrients that I need. Among my questions today, will
be to ask if there are other dietary supplements (over the counter) that I could/should be
considering aside from the Vitamin D and Multivitamin that I am currently taking each day.

885 CALORIES

It is hard to believe that the same guy who less than one week ago gave almost no thought to consuming a 2000 calorie meal has just completed another day of SATISFYING EATING that was actually under 900 calories for the day! I promise you I found myself no hungrier today than on any other day of the previous many years. Four days ago, during my 'wellness' checkup, my doctor said that we really don't have to eat so much at one sitting as the next meal is typically only 6 hours away. We only need enough to survive until that next meal. This is what I ate today:

BREAKFAST: TWO (2) NAVEL ORANGES (85 calories each) 170 CALORIES
LUNCH: 3-EGG OMELETTE w/CHEESE 425 CALORIES
DINNER: ONE (1) SMOKED POLISH SAUSAGE
w/TWO (2) CUPS OF BROCCOLI CUTS 290 CALORIES

TOTAL 885 CALORIES

I did eat this same menu yesterday as well as I am a creature of habit. Remember, I am the guy who previously divulged that I ate only about 8 different 'entrees' from only five different 'restaurants' over a period of multiple years. THIS FOOD TASTES BETTER. I FEEL BETTER. I AM GETTING BETTER. By the time I visit my doctor in eight weeks for the followup appointment from my 'wellness' exam - I expect to be a lot 'weller' than I was way, way back on December 24, 2014 when I woke up! (no typo there, that exam took place a scant four days ago!)

The highpoint of my day was the five (5) mile walk I took with my daughter. The first 2.5 miles was a true cardio experience as we were racing to the brand-new Maggie Daley Park in Chicago before darkness set in. I don't know what precise speed we were walking, but we were walking fast and stopping only to cross busy downtown streets. On the way back, we took our time and there was no cardio component to the return trip. Nevertheless, I am going to assume that it was far better than hopping onto a bus.
