Tonight I went to a wedding reception. Risky business but I did manage to avoid eating any cake/sweets whatsoever; NSV for me! I mostly ate the fat/protein options (yum). My one friend who does keto was there and told me red wine would be OK if I wanted to drink so I had a glass and a half. Overall I think I came in 100 cals under and only 8 gms over my total carb goal so I'll take it, especially since DH and I don't go to weddings very often anymore.
Hopefully the scale won't freak out on me for too long. 0 -
Week 3:
SW: 159.2 (11/02/15)
CW: 158.6 (11/17/15)
GW: 155 (by 1/01/16)
November Goals:
Review basics and get back to following more carefully
10,000 steps per day (work days); 5,000 steps per day (weekend)
Keep at around 40 net carbs per day
Log Food Daily
Additional exercise at least 3 times a week (yoga, weight lifting, biking)
11/16 - 11/18 - been doing well. Again during the work week it's easy to do everything I want to do. Weekends are so much harder. Maybe I'm just lazy by the time the weekend rolls in??
But one thing I noticed this week...on Sunday when I went to the brewery and had some carbs (not much but I had carbs I normally don't have), my tummy has been sore. It's finally starting to feel better and my body is letting go of water weight. So on Sunday I only had a few sips of beer, a piece of rye crisp at lunch and a lot of popcorn. Monday my weight was up a full lb (water) and by Monday night my tummy was getting sore. Not sure if it was gluten from the beer/rye crisp or the popcorn (it wasn't buttery at all just salty). It will be interesting to do a test sometime and just have some gluten and see how I feel. Love experiments!!!
11/18 - another good day however since I made a new board on pinterest, I spent my evening pinning and looking for just the right cover pic and never got around to exercising
11/19 - food was good, didn't get in enough steps. Visited with daughter last night instead of exercising but scale is down almost a pound today
11/20 - 11/22 - I did pretty good. I was only shy about 200 steps on Saturday but I made up for it on Sunday. Food wise, very good all weekend long. I find munching on pecans helps when I'm pretty hungry and the carbs are pretty low for them!0 -
