This unusual post is to help me get back to a real place. My body is so far from the norm it won't likely help others very much. But I need to do it to help make me see what I need to face and fix it. So, I apologize up front if I wasted your time. This was a lousy food and exercise week. I have daily goals to regain my health one day at a time... My first most important goal is to stay under 1500 mg of Salt each day. Doctors' orders. This past week my daily consumption was sometimes double and once even triple that amount. Holy water gain Bat Man! Thats INSANE. This is ultra hard on my heart. It makes all the prescribed diuretics and potassium pills I take almost pointless. This morning, I woke up with pain in my chest and running down my left arm. I took two aspirin and have Nitro at the ready. So far, I feel much better. This ridiculous unforced error must stop now. My second priority goal is to exceed 30 grams of Fiber each day. This past week I averaged only 10 grams and didn't achieve my goal even one day. This is required to maintain gut health. Gut health is required for every other health, nutrition and weigh loss goal. I didn't eat my beans. No black, garbanzo, lima, black eye, etc... None, nada, zip, nothing. Time to get back to basics. My third goal is to eat less than 13 grams of Saturated Fat each day. I averaged 26, double. I only made this goal on two of seven days. I not only picked the unhealthy fats most times this week, I went the extra mile and ate even more of them. So, I did myself the double favor of not getting my good Omega's plus added plenty of extra bad to my body. Got to get back to eating SMASH (Salmon, Mackerel, Albacore Tuna, Sardines and Herring). My other lesser important goals didn't fare any better. I didn't exercise even once. Oh-well. Can't change the past. Future plans always seem to wiggle away. Can only choose in this moment. It's a new week. Lots of new moments to live better choices.

Did the doctor instruct you to keep your calories that low? Looking at your numbers they seem to be around 1000 each day. That is very low for most people and especially low for someone with as much weight to lose as you. It’s very hard to hit nutritional goals when you eat so little. A great fruit salad can help with fiber but will cost calories. Same with beans and lots of other healthy stuff. My guess is you should probably be eating closer to 2500 calories to lose. I used to own a nutrition center and when people cut calories that low, unless they were a small woman, it never worked. It sounds like you have a plan. Just asking a friendly question. We’re pulling for you

@Shake Those Pounds: Thank you for considering my situation. My Doctor thru my Nurse Practitioner requested I stay below 1500 kcal a day. About three years ago I had surgery on my leg (thigh). The doctor didn't get how damaged my knees were (bone on bone). He bent and twisted my knees during surgery such that they were damaged beyond my being able to walk since the surgery. They will not now even bend over about 45 degrees so that I can sit up without sliding out of a chair while in excruciating pain. So, I have not been able to get out of bed for the past 3 years. Because my knees are in pain 24-7 I cannot significantly exercise my lower body large muscle groups. (I do manage some reps of a jumping jack type movement while laying on my back) To exercise with large weights I use dumbbells in bed. Bicep curls, triceps extensions. pectoral flies and lat stiff arm pullovers. But those are all small muscle groups compared to the legs. Thus, the extreme calorie restriction for my size. Or at least, that's the reason they gave me. Last week I averaged 1503 calories a day. Yes, some were less than 1000 kcal, but some were also over 2000 kcal. And most definitely YES! It has been very hard for me to find the magic combination of natural foods that satisfy all my nutrition requirements at the same time... I am not a fan of supplements, but sometimes I do use them to augment fiber, or protein, or whatever else I just can't figure out how to achieve.
