Re: Cheat Meals on KETO. Questions for Low Carbers.
First, as long as you see any color on ketostix you're in ketosis, shade doesn't matter. Darker shades mean you need to drink more water.
Second, it's OK to have a day where your carbs are a little higher, but no more than 100g. If you decided to eat a bunch of carbs one day you'd get kicked out of ketosis and have to wait like a week to get back in.
Personally, I don't do cheat days. It's not worth it to eat some carbs at one meal and then have to do a week of strict low carb and glycogen drain work outs every day to get back in to ketosis.

I'm wonder how this will help OP, since the responses to her question are what she can't see.

Managed to stay on track while up north, which I was pleasantly surprised by! My diet was not the greatest, but we did get in a few hikes and took in some breath taking waterfalls, which we always enjoy. Looking to get back on track today!

Re: Slower start on the 1st week?
(I'm not on premium for context) you may not see immediate change. My body took around 3-4 weeks to adjust and it started getting used to the routine. I started to slowly losing more and more weight. I'd focus more on what you're eating and what vitamins/macros you're not eating and how you could change up snacks and meals to maximize nutrients while staying in the calorie range. Ex: I have no problem with meeting protein goals as I go over all the time, but need more vitamin A and C. So I need to change my snack from nuts to Clementines and incorporated more carrots into meals.
Re: WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JULY 2025
Yesterday our forecast was partly cloudy and dry but about 15 min before DD and I went out to feed horses it started to rain. We went out expecting it to be very brief but it just rained harder for the entire time we were doing chores. When we came out of the barn there was an awesome rainbow just above the tops of the trees. It was very bright and the colors very distinct. I thought of you Beth. It made me feel peaceful and hopeful.
Allie - glad you are having a good trip.
Mo - after my DH retired from teaching he drove a courtesy van for the VW dealership in Sioux Falls. It was the perfect job for him because he loved to chat and had a captive audience.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA

Heather - The good part is that you've been there for so much of that journey. As have we, vicariously... Lovely girl, and will be a beautiful woman.

๐ In today's mail I got a letter from the credit card I rarely use, telling me that they had raised my credit limit to $17,000. That's crazy. It's a higher limit than either of the credit cards that I've used regularly for years.
๐ On today's "Jeopardy" there was a mention of the Statue of Liberty". It reminded me of the visit I made to her by myself in 1995 so I looked for a YouTube video. I saw a great video with a great tour from getting tickets all the way through climbing to the crown and down and then to Ellis Island. When I went in 1995, I just showed up and made the climb. Now you have to get tickets online and they might not be available. It reminded me of a video I saw recently about watching the sunrise over Haleakala on Maui. When I was on Maui in 1974, someone picked me up early in their car and we drove up, watched the sunrise and drove back to where we were staying. Now you have to make reservations ahead of time and wait in long lines. I was so fortunate to do so many interesting things when I was young and places weren't so well known and overcrowded.

Re: WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JULY 2025
๐ The dogs and I woke up extra early this morning so we were finished with breakfast and ready for a real walk extra early. The only thing better than walking between 7 and 8 here is walking between 6 and 7. It is foggy and misty this morning so the temps were way below 60. Even with a long walk and stops to talk to two chatty neighbours (one with a dog and one with a garden she wanted to show off), I was still able to get home early enough to water after walking nearly 8000 steps. After my 9:00 Zoom meeting, Annie and I will go to town to deposit my ballot, pick up prescriptions at the pharmacy drive through where they always have a treat for Annie, and drop off four bags of stuff at the charity shop.
๐ Tina, are you hoping to move? Where?
๐ I've been thinking about the photo of Tracey and Rodger and how cute they looked when they first met, that I went looking for a photo of Jake and me when we first met because I thought we were so cute and young in the picture. We were cute but not so young because we were just past 40 years old when we met.
๐ Lanette, I haven't done SWSY for a long time and recently gave away the ankle weights and most of the hand weights (I still have 4 and 5 pounds), but with dogs and the gardening I do on my knees, and all the walking and dancing, I'm using a lot of muscles throughout the day.
