A Weight Loss Plateau and Self-assessment

I've been messing with my dieting for the past 3 days. I am eating more grams of carbohydrates in the form of milk, bread and crackers or a combination of all three. I am eating carbohydrates above the 50 grams allocated for each day. I am doing it to see if my body will react negatively with any of my health markers. I have mentioned the blood pressure spike yesterday. But the number subsequent stayed flat the next day. I guess just like everything else my body follows the laws of physics. It tries to maintain its direction and rate of motion. For a while, that is. I don't want to have to find out how long that is.

My weight loss seemed to be stuck around 76-77 kilograms. It looks like a plateau. I am eating at 1100-1200 calories this week. Could my metabolism slowed down considerably to outpace my weight loss plan. I am considering a reset of my plans.

If I do reset I want to reset UP. Around 1500-1600 calories. Continue with a ketogenic diet.

A ketogenic diet means the lowest possible carbohydrate intake without dropping vegetables, turmeric, flaxseeds, sesame seeds, sweet potatoes and a few other foods in the whole foods website list of highly nutritious foods. I don't want to leave out foods that are nutrient dense. This rule works fine for me so far.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
