Yesterday I shot myself with my fourth week of Semaglutide. The day I started it I had ballooned up to 214. Today I was at 208ish. I've been at 208ish for a week.
I'm combining two things. One is the Semaglutide injection. The other is tracking my food and exercise on Cronometer. Cron has both an app and a web page that update each other. The tech is wonderful. It has a way to link ever UPC code I feed it and know everything about the food I entered. It can analyse a plate of food with the camera and do a pretty damn good job of figuring out what is on the plate and all the nutrients it contains. VERY sophisticated.
And I really want calories and protein, the two things I care about. The object is to maintain a LOT of protein while also maintaining a calorie deficit. Every diet ever.
Far as I can tell the GLP-1 just slows digestion and makes you feel fuller longer. I could easily fast for a day now. My hunger level is pretty low. Unfortunately it does not change my taste buds so I think broccoli and asparagus are anything other than discusting so it is not a great but only a good addition to the arsenal.
Cronometer says it will take me a year to get down to 195. A quarter of a pound per week. I reached out to them to find out how to reset it in the app to more like 1.5ish pounds per week. We'll see what they say. At the moment I'm exceeding the caloric deficit they have set but I'd like to have a more realistic target so when I eat that lasagna it breaks the goal for the day. Every now and then.
Today is a non PB day. As was yesterday. I played two days in a row and am taking two off. But I did mow the lawn this morning (in temps UNDER 70 degrees) and took Toby on a walk around the block. So I did get some exercise.
Tomorrow is a PB day and I'm playing a few times next week.
