Meticulous May?
Replies

feeling awesome again - did meaty 5 days to begin May and now have changed to Intermittent Fasting - went a little over my carbs yesterday but haven't felt this good in a long time, the long time pain I get after eating seems to be disappearing and I am finding I am not hungry any more - its great to be back in the zone again2

Going to do my check in now, since no scale tomorrow morning. I logged everything that went into my mouth this week, so check.
Down from 268.4 to 266. When I do log I have always been big on including all.0 -

I gave myself 2 days off for my birthday celebrations (ate somewhat LCHF during it but also had ice cream, etc.) but back to logging tomorrow!0

Just checking in! I'm out of town for the weekend celebrating my Mom and Mom-in-law then tomorrow my kids celebrate with me! Great time to talk about the good old days...1

Finally- down a hard fought pound ! Never thought it was going to happen. And just in time for Mother's Day!!2

I logged crock pot scrambled eggs with ham, pepper, cheese on Fri. and was 1,300 calories over for the day. In fact, I ate some of it on Fri., some on Sat., and some on Sun. Not technically meticulous logging, but I am ok with this. I was fine on calories for the week from Mon.-Sun. Not as meticulous as I normally am, but I'm thinking about doing it again anyway this week because I have more supplies for such a dish.1

So I didn't manage to check in here over the weekend - was out for dinner with the hubs on Saturday night and did not make the best food choices - including cheesecake.
In it's normal way this led to a binge day on Sunday which I also did not log and included pizza.
I'm so disappointed in myself, but today is a new day. I have no food prepped (because the binge doesn't exactly lead to food prepping for the week), but will make the best choice I can at lunchtime - maybe some roast chicken and a salad, after the gym, and tonight I'm making ruled.me's kung pow chicken which will leave me with lunches for the next two days as well as dinner for me and hubs tonight.
I'm glad I started this challenge because that binge could easily have spread into this week without you guys.
@reblazed Congrats on the new low, I started this challenge at 194.4 and would love to see the 180's when I weigh at the end of the month - you should be plenty in there by then, even with the rollercoaster

fell off the wagon yesterday - didn't listen to my body properly and ended up bingeing last night - have put it behind me and back to meticulous logging - really trying to work out what foods agree and what doesn't agree with me so going to have to start working out what gives me the pains so that I can eliminate it from my diet0

Didn't check in here over the weekend, but I have been logging. Had a couple cream puffs for dessert yesterday, but was still below my carb goal for the day. Saw a new low in the scale this week (143.8), but only for one day, lol. Nice to be making progress tho.
SW (May 1): 146.4

I've been logging consistently, but haven't checked in here over the weekend. Had a little potato yesterday which put me over on carbs, otherwise, all is well. Weight- still not moving.0

Up half a pound. Suspect histamine inflammation at work. Grrr. On the plus side saying No to unhealthy choices even with my mum. Major success there.4

Didn't weigh in this morning but was 133.2 yesterday. So I went up a little after my birthday celebrations but not as much as I expected.
I went back and logged everything for those two days as best I could. I definitely indulged some Fri-Sun but kept it lower carb (esp Friday) so I don't think it threw me off too much.
My scale REALLY seems to like 133 over, say, 131. Which annoys me b/c clothes fit better at 131. You wouldn't think it would make a difference, but it really does. I am theoretically recomping but right now my strength training is physical therapy 3x/wk and it's helping me get stronger in a safer way but I'm sure it's not as fast as a regular strength program.0 -
OMG. Heart to heart with mum and despite needing anything sweet as a sedative I stayed strong and coped without. Yay team, knowing you guys are also here, somehow helped me choose to not grab multiple sweet treats. We ended up with me giving mum a "at a boy" pat on the back and her, with a bit of encouragement, shaking her tail. Not bad for a 73 year old. Laughter after drama. Good close n no sweets.8

It's all gotten a bit quiet here!
Today was a good day. Gym done, food on point and leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. Hooray.
I still struggle daily with keeping keto, but I think that's because I barely get through a week without having something that is higher carb than I should allow myself.
I need to take time to find more recipes for dinner but it's very difficult with work, toddler, housework and a husband!0 -
I'm still here! Yesterday was good - stayed under on carbs, went to the gym for the first time in over a week (busy week last week). Today has gone well so far. Kids want pizza tonight (school is doing some fundraiser thing where a portion of the proceeds from orders at a local pizza place go to the school), but I plan to just eat the toppings and a salad. Couldn't find a way to log that, so I'm just logging it as two slices of thin crust pizza and knowing that my carbs won't really be as high as my log claims, lol.
I hear ya in the no time thing - one of my favorite easy meals is taking chicken thighs, dip them in melted butter, then dredge in grated Parmesan cheese seasoned with pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and basil (I buy the cheese pre-grated for this purpose, sawdust be damned) and cook at 425 for 30 minutes. Add some frozen broccoli or green beans on the side and you've got a quick, easy meal that everyone will love!3 -
Ok those chicken thighs sound amazing. Definitely getting some pre-grated Parmesan and chicken thighs in the online food shop this week!1

has been a tough day today with my son - ended up eating stuff I didn't really want to but I have ensured I have logged it and will keep going - on a good note I started the day off 3lbs lighter this week so am over the moon with that2

Suffering from food poisoning of some sort since Sunday night. I logged yesterday and am logging today, even though it's been mostly crackers, yogurt, and broth.
I'll probably try to eat some cabbage tonight.
Still feeling very tired and blurgh.
The camping trip was nice this weekend though.
I would love to feel better enough to workout tomorrow finally.0 -
Awesome start. Great expectation management. BPC at 7am, 1pm burger sans bread, 630pm protein shake. That had a slight allergic reaction for me. Not satisfied. Friend fed me cashews. That is when the cashewnut monster reared her ugly stress coping head. Most of a packet... demolished. Not proud, but noted.1

I swear, I could eat chicken thighs every day, and now I've learned a new way to make them. Thanks.
Still being meticulous, here.2 -
Blah.
LCHF SW (Nov): 150.6
Goal range for maintenance: 129-132
CW: 134.8. Boo.
I might need a bigger maintenance range but I need to expand down instead of up.
Yesterday was pretty good though in terms of cals, carbs and exercise.
Libra tells me my trend is gaining 0.5 lbs/wk.
Indeed, even though I hit GW in March, looks like I gained 0.8 lbs in March, 2 in April and so far 1.1 in May. I'm only down 1.8 lbs for all of 2016. Sooo meticulous May is definitely needed. 0 -
Slowly getting closer to keto compliance. Put together a good streak, then struggled for a couple days, now back on hoping to finally get back in the keto for a good long stretch. It will happen.
Still logging. Will weigh again tomorrow and go forward from there. In the meantime, trying to keep adding those all important alternative to eating activities. Still struggling to add in daily physical activity.
Feeling a little emotionally depleted, but not too bad. Just gotta keep going forward. That is it for today. Just keep going.1 -

Exercise - plan on running tonight.
Keeping at the same drop and haven't rebounded. So I'm feeling good about that. It's probably because I haven't had time to eat! Soooo Stressed!!!0 -
annoyed with myself today - was doing really well and fell off the wagon again - I am finding myself sabotaging my own decisions again and I am hating the way it makes me feel0

My struggle these days is to stick to keto foods until my cravings subside. I've decided to go ahead and up the total cals as needed to be satisfied.
How hard this return to my plan is; makes me realize how far off path I went. So when I first started this woe I used this higher cal plan til I felt secure enough to tweak for weight loss. Back to the beginning and build from there. No more denial, all the while grateful that I'm on this correction before real damage was done to the total weight loss numbers.
Logging every bite.
Well, time to get busy with this day.2
