Lost Weight

 Lost about 35 lbs in 35 weeks.


One pound per week.


End of February I lose some weight change my diet.  Introduce one meal a day different. I change my morning to eating oatmeal (fiber) and yogurt(probiotic) For February, March, April, and May.

Then in June, I try out some fiber pills which I see the biggest change in my weight with Chia seed powder and flaxseed powder, with metamucil.

I saw my weight drop fast steady with it then.


I've heard of adding fiber could be an appetite suppressant also help with cholesterol and blood pressure. Also be a meal replacement for making other meals last longer in budgeting process.

The constantly being close to a bathroom has also been improved.  Where it's been either stuck up or just water problems...


So I started a quick google search of many different things that I thought helped.  And oat is a gluten free way to add fiber.  I know people will say oatmeal is bad but for most it's a stepping stone up.  They say oat is bad for your sugars.


But really is cereal or chips or pop substitute an improvement like oatmeal?

Some times oatmeal is a better then a red bull chips and chocolate bar.

Don't get me wrong once in awhile it might be a nice treat.

But they say if you want to lose weight is.  

Take one regular thing out of your diet and walk 3 times for 20 minutes or one hour of walking.

And you could even start slower with 10 minutes of walking 3 times a day. Up the street and back.

A change in one regular thing you eat and environmental change like exercise for 10 minutes.  

You'd lose a health amount of weight.  Not the five pounds a week where all the toxins in your fat go through your blood wreaking havoc on your body's immune system.  

If you were immune compromised that would be a flare up if you lost five pounds in a week.

I mean not 5 pounds at end of day and beginning of day after a bowel movement, no eating I mean five lbs at beginning of day same time the next day with same circumstances.

One lbs with same circumstances. Is healthy way to lose weight. Ask a pharmacist, dietitian or nutritionist if fiber is a great way to supplement with to help with weight or cholesterol or blood pressure or supplement meal replacement w-smaller plate sizes for meals.

Adding food like oats or what I think is best now looking at a graph is flaxseed and Chia seed powder you'll get vitamins like Omega oils and magnesium potassium iron things the body needs that is not in the uningestible fiber like metamucil.  But lowering daily dose on all three and putting them together will see great success. I've been taking twice a day regular and seen a big difference between the two.  

But also nice to switch it up once in awhile.

I should get more probiotic and eat more yogurt.  Yet I do drink kombucha on occasions.


Here are my google searches.





Now in 35 weeks or 8 months or so if you'd like to change one meal.

Or supplement with fiber pills or fiber rich foods.  I guarantee you'll see out comes with changing one regular thing in a diet for another and adding ten minutes of exercise daily.


I've seen the difference.


I'm not trying to sell you anything, just tell you of my success over the years with this diet and the data shows it.  A bit more focus on my health in 2022 than in seeing Covid stress weight.  I think lots gained weight over these last stressful three years.

Telling my success this year in small changes.

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  🏃‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run 🏃‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

Walk mid October with my Mom

  Walks with my mom The water looks like glass just crystal smooth.  My mom and I are walking to the river and in life. It’s like we’re always walking away.  Getting closer to the end, my poet mind says.   I say I got to enjoy these walks and I was silent most the walk just trying to enjoy 😊 my time with her. Or walk end more so with 🐾 paw printed pants 👖 from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs 🐕. A wonderful time.  I often thought it was too early to spell like alcohol.  But surprised to pass another walker, but each to their own I probably smell like an ashtray. Although I never smoked or chewed tobacco on my walk.  I just want to walk with my mom.  Often times I don’t think I could spit out everything I wanted to say so much so that I just said in these moments you don’t have to chew tobacco and say anything. Dixie and both us individually by the fallen tree arch. A path going to the river, under which most the trees 🌳 there are...

Walk and a run in to the vet

 Another adventure for Dixie,  she is an expensive dog….🐕 We enjoy 😊 our walks. Up top of the coulee you can see the university  Sonny and I go walking the south side dog park,  it tricky terrain for sure.  It’s nice 😊 for the scenery I think, yet a bit treacherous at times.  A person has to be careful let alone a dog 🐕 being careful. Here is Sonny and I smiling giving a thumbs up to the camera 📸  The walk was decent though some difficult 😞 parts for today, Dixie is on a 14 day hiatus from walking.  She’ll probably want to go sooner rather than later. I think we’re stuck to just five minute poop 💩 walks than the hour or two hour walks we usually do. I’m unsure when it happen but my guess is near the end of the walk when I noticed it. Dixie gets to close to the bushes today, I kept looking her over but noticed a different spot on her at the end of our walk.   Dixie goes through some bushes and gouged a piece out of her. Now Dixie has th...
