    Weekly
    1. Pre plan & Prep Weekly Menu -Done!
    2. Bake/Cook one low carb dessert a week -- Big ole' fail on that one.

    10/13 & 10/14
    1. Log daily! - Done!
    2. Stay under 25 net carbs - Done!
    3. Drink 80 oz of water - Done! ( For some reason I drank way more yesterday, I filled up my cup 6 times at work, plus the water I drank during a 3 hour night meeting)

    I think this is really helping. It makes me continuously think about my goals every day separately rather than a long time frame. I am much better with short term goals. Long term ones get vague for me.

    Daily pumpkins 3/3
    Weekly Pumpkins: 12/14

    October's Pumpkin Total: 72

    The chiropractor really helped with my SI Joint problems (which are apparently a result of me using my strong upper leg muscles for lots of things when I ought to be using my glutes), so I'm backing off yoga until the right muscles are firing for the typical poses I was doing.

    I've been over on my calories a bunch, but frankly staying under par on calories is not a huge concern of mine. I'm FAR more concerned with being under on carbs, and I slipped on that. I've avoided the leftover anniversary cake I made (LCHF but not as LC as I prefer). Yesterday I was almost purely carnivore without even trying, and that was a proud moment.

    1. Stay under 25-30 net carbs a day most days of the month (see #3)-1pumpkins
    2. Plan meals for the following week on Saturday or Sunday and stick to meal plan- 1 pumpkin
    3. Two special occasion days take place this month and my goal is to go no higher than 50 net carbs-N/A
    4. Try to add exercise in 3-4 times per week as joint pain permits
    5. Try at least one new keto friendly recipe per week to keep things interesting-1 pumpkin

    3 pumpkins
