Wanted to check in here. I have been able to keep the leg cramps under control after the one day of slipping and forgetting my sodium. Keeping carbs (20) and calories (1600) at, or below, goal.
My reluctance to set a weight loss goal has proven true. The scale finally got back to my lowest (194.4) then two days later (202). There isn't a logical reason for this, but I sure hope the reason is revealed once I do begin to lose pounds again. This is why my motivation isn't based on that stupid scale (I can't let it be since its let me down). If I had, I wouldn't be here. The inches lost and the health I have gained from this woe is greater than what that scale can do to me!
I haven't logged my food since last week. I don't like not having a diary to show others when it's needed. I'm working on getting my routine figured out, after returning to work. There's no way to fit in any mfp while at work, at all. I may just pre-log everything the night before because I do like having an active food log. Will get this figured out and will keep on trucking!
You all inspire me!0 -
This is day 8 for me since starting keto. I lost 3.8 lbs as of the first week but this morning I'm down another 1.8 now that TOM is winding down! So 5.6 lbs gone in the first 8 days.
Yesterday I kept my calories under and had 21gm net carbs.
Wasn't able to run b/c of the pouring rain but looks like I'll be able to go out today.
Overall, I am really happy with keto so far. I have fewer struggles with hunger and cravings than I did on Dukan (even my modified Dukan that was a bit higher fat than the strict plan). It hasn't been that hard to stick to, but I haven't gone out and about that much. I did have "cheats" on both Saturday and Sunday but I have a better plan for those situations in the future. I was already struggling with fatigue and poor stamina so I don't know if I can blame it on keto.
I've had some headaches but appreciate the advice to keep an eye on my sodium intake and electrolytes. My cardiologist wanted me to bump up my sodium anyway since my BP runs low and I have a vasovagal response so I have issues with dizziness and starting to black out at times. (The latter has only happened twice but that's why I got sent to a cardiologist.)0 -

We really enjoyed this one! Made it twice in one month (two birthdays)!

And we got this spring-form pan on Amazon...

November Goals:
1. Review basics and get back to following more carefully
2. 10,000 steps per day (work days); 5,000 steps per day (weekend)
3. Keep at around 40 net carbs per day
4. Log Food Daily
5. Additional exercise at least 3 times a week (yoga, weight lifting, biking)
11/01 - didn't get my steps or track my food so I'm going to say nil for the day just to be honest
11/02 - Also didn't track my food (was so busy all day long) but I did get in my 10,000 steps and did some yoga!
11/03 - Great day. I got in my steps, did some weight lifting, tracked my food and was under 40 net grams of crabs.
11/04 - Another great day - got my steps in, did yoga, tracked my food and under 40 net carbs.
11/05 - a repeat of yesterday!!
11/06 - 11/08: Weekend went pretty well. I was very low on calories and good on carbs but only one day I didn't get to 5,000 steps. (I wasn't feeling very well). But overall my weekend was much better than ones in the past!
11/09 - Great day and I did yoga as well!!0 -
