Daily Food Diary – Day 103 of 365

by annemariedemyen, posted in 2025, Health and Fitness, Uncategorized

It has been 103 days since I started tracking my ‘numbers’ on  my Daily Food Diary.  When I started this adventure, I did not have any solid goals or expectations, but I have found it to be educational and beneficial.

I began the year at 133.5 pounds with an  ultimate goal of reaching 115 pounds.  I am 5′ – 1″ with a smaller frame.   115 pounds is pretty much perfect for me – and where I can fit into my  favourite jeans. 

I have been doing ok working towards my weight  goal, but I have been struggling to get under 128 pounds.   Yesterday, I weighed in at 126.4 pounds!  šŸ˜

This month, I have been tracking and struggling to get my sodium and processed sugar consumption under control.Ā  On day 100, my sugar maxed out at 58.1 grams. (I am trying to keep it under 25 grams.) Ā  My last three days have been – 2.5 g, 5.6 g, and 9.9 g.Ā  I was happy about that, but what I was really happy about was the numbers on my Oximeter last night.Ā  My pulse registered at 70 BPM and my blood oxygen was up to 99%.Ā Ā  (Typically 90 to 92%). My lungs were noticeably, and thankfully,Ā  clear.Ā 

Yesterday, my processed sugar crept up a bit.  Today my lungs are somewhat more congested and  my weight is up 4 ounces. šŸ™„

I am definitely motivated to make more of an effort to avoid PROCESSED SUGAR.  I believe everyone should avoid processed sugar as much as possible.    For me,  I think it is worse due to my compromised lungs and my intolerance for yeast.  Sugar feeds yeast so there is definitely a connection.

I do know it is well worth continuing my focus on processed sugar  for the remainder of this month.

  4. Congrats on reaching a goal, Anne! I’d love to less weighty. My oximeter reads 96 to 99% usually which is great to see of course, keep up the great work my friend!! ā¤ļøšŸ˜ŠšŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦

  5. Thank you, Mags! I thought you said ‘pants’ and I thought that was too funny. Until I get my hernia repair done, I have to wear my raggedy old stretch pants because every time I eat, it pushes my hernia out. It is uncomfortable if I am wearing fitted pants or jeans. Raggedy pants it is. šŸ¤¦

  10. The main concern about the salt would be fluid retention in your organs – your lungs in particular, Annemarie. IMO, Iā€™d say to still keep an eye on it.

  13. Yes. I had it done 3 years ago, but it failed. I saw the surgeon (a different one) in February. He put me on the waiting list for the surgery. The wait will be longer because he wants to use anesthesia this time, so he has to book an operating room. In the meantime, I am careful – and comfortable. šŸ¤—šŸ’ž
