Tuesday - keto day 7 - not ideal for keto, I've been aiming for a 2:1 ratio of fats:protein+carbs(net) and today was only 1.77:1 - not what I was trying to do...exercise was spot on, walking, stairs, cube workout, plus P90X - so boring and I hated every moment of it, but I did it and I really pushed hard...ran errands in the evening so it was late when I started and I was already tired, so I only did 10# for shoulders/tris just didn't want to take the chance of injuring myself if I pushed it to higher weights when I was already tired...I prefer to get my weights in before dinner when I still have plenty of energy.0

That's fab that you had such a positive day yesterday on so little sleep (positive not just in terms of calories in/out, but attitude, too.)0
-
Wednesday - keto #8 - good day, walking, cube workouts, stairs, agilityX - I only did half because I needed to cook dinner...food was better than usual 2.44:1 - good ratio!
I'm going to the oyster festival in chincoteague this saturday with family...not sure what that means in terms of diet...probably lots of fried foods and plenty of fat but also an overabundance of carbs...<sigh>...maybe I'll try prelogging and try to keep it somewhat under control...like extra steamed oysters or fried oysters and avoid the fritters...0 -
Thursday - keto #9 - 2.92:1 an excellent ratio, and it was a strength day, so I got to eat lots of yummy foods and even fit in some peanut m&ms plus a glass of wine with dinner...it was very tempting to have a second glass of wine, however, I didn't even key it in and crunch the numbers, there is just no reason to be pushing it. Exercise was standard, except I only made it half way through back/biceps and didn't do glutes at all...something is out of alignment in my lower back and causing a pinching pain...after half the workout I just hurt too much to maintain proper form, so I figured skipping the rest was way better than getting injured doing bad form...and sadly, most of the time my wrists and lower back hurt more than the muscles I was trying to work...so frustrating...
I will not have internet this weekend, so I will be out of contact until Sunday night or Monday morning...I will try to track my food via the app, but that thing works for crap on my phone, so no promises.
My goal for Saturday is to have an avocado in the morning and an avocado for dinner, and to just have one oyster fritter...I should be able to eat any of the steamed seafood and a lot of fried oysters without too much problem, but the fritters have so much breading, going to have to limit that. The fried and steamed oysters are my favorite anyway. I'm hoping for crab soup too! Oh, and I got my alcoholic seltzer water to take with me - 2 packs of 12 in different brands, so I have plenty for the whole weekend and plenty to share with the others if they want to give them a go. One of the brands I have had, but not in the same variety of flavors. The other brand I haven't tried before, but I'm looking forward to giving it a shot. They are 1 or 3 carbs each depending on brand, and in cans, so totally portable. Whatever doesn't get drank can stay at the beach house for the next trip.0 -
I hope you enjoy your weekend, safe travels!

Weekend was awesome...I ate tons of delicious food, but didn't go crazy and stuff myself too much...lots of trying many different things...very little activity and no formal exercise. Basically a weekend off keto, though I did stick to my alcoholic seltzer water (totally delicious) rather than hard cider, so I did keep at least the alcohol carbs down. Had an awesome time with family and it was so nice to visit and have adult time with no children around.1

Monday - #14 - lots of walking and my normal workouts...a bit sleepy all day and allergies acting up a bit...however, food was on point, mostly...I was planning a snack and forgot to eat it, but not the end of the world. I didn't finish the last 5 bites of dinner, just too full, but again, not the end of the world.
I need to do another round of measurements. Maybe I'll have time on Saturday???
Plus it's past time to decorate for Halloween, and I haven't started sewing my skirt yet...<sigh>...1 -
Tuesday - #15 - 3.02:1 - great day for food, it's easy to be good on the days I get to eat more...much easier to get protein and plenty of fat if you have lots of calories in the day...plus, I managed to have some halloween candy TWICE which kind of made my day a happy day...peanut m&m fun size bags are not too terrible on the macros.
Almost forgot to do my weights because I was a bit caught up in Lethal Weapon, but I did them at 9 and we watched John Wick 2 while I was doing them. I really pushed the weights, but I didn't feel as struggling as usual, I think that's because I skipped weights over the weekend, so I had extra recovery time. Other than that did all the normal workouts, walking and cube exercises, a bit of stairs...and had a chiro visit which was awesome!!!

Wednesday - #16 - food was pretty good...I was munchy in the evening but I stuck to pickles and tea which is allowed...exercise was a bit slack, walking and cube stuff, only a bit of stairs...didn't workout in the evening, bathed the dog instead...was tired after that...he HATES getting a bath...but he has itchy skin, so he's getting a medicated bath every 3 days until he stops scratching...the silly mutt...0
-
Thursday - #17 - food was excellent until I got into the halloween candy at night...I should have stayed away but it mostly fit...however, today I have a mild headache, so I'm pretty sure candy is a no no for keto even if you think it fits. I also tweaked my macro goals today based on a 2:1 ratio for grams, not calories. It will be a little harder to hit, but should keep me from having those moment where I get off track since junk isn't going to fit with the new plan. Exercise was standard, but I only made it half way through my weights in the evening because my carpal tunnel was killing me...my muscles could have done more but my writsts were shot.0

Hope you're wrists feel better

Friday - #18 - a solid day, got my walking done and that's about it...we worked the outdoor concession stand at the football game, so that was like 6 hours on my feet and I was good, just had a diet soda to keep hydrated.
Saturday - #19 - busy day, but solid, walking in the morning but not as much as usual since I was tired and opted to sit and read for some of the time...checked out a weis grocery store and picked up the things to cook for the pig roast...came home and cooked for the pig roast, baked mac & cheese plus jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon. Went to the pig roast and stuck to the keto thing, just meats and a few bean dishes plus 2 glasses of wine...I was driving, so it was easy not to overdo the alcohol...then picked up the boy from homecoming and went to bed super tired and super late.
My weight is up this week, but shark week is due next week, so I'm not going to worry about it...and I did measurements and my arms are up 1/8 th of an inch...every little bit counts!!!1 -
Sunday - #20 - built a deck all day...I didn't track food, but I'm sure I was way under and I stuck to things I knew were ok to eat...scrambled eggs with sausage and cheddar for breakfast around 10am, then hot wings with bleu cheese dressing around 7:30pm...the rest of the day was spent working on the deck...tore out the old deck since hubs didn't get around to that on Friday/Saturday...then built most of the floor for the new deck...it was getting dark so we didn't do the last row of boards since that would require cutting around the posts and no one needs to be trying to do that with just artificial lighting...he's supposed to build the stairs today, but it was raining this morning, so not sure if that is going to happen...my hands and wrists are killing me today, carpal tunnel and deck construction do not go well together...back and leg muscles are a bit sore, but no worse than any other workout, so that makes me feel good at least!!!0
-
I hope your hands and wrist start feeling better soon!0
-
Monday - #21 - lots of walking, and some darebee stuff for GoT - food was on point, a little over since I indulged in some peanut m&ms, but within my +/- 200 calories goal, so not gonna fret.
I've been putting anti-inflamatory essential oils on my wrists and hands blended with comfrey oil, so they are feeling much better today!0 -
Tuesday - #22 - all the normal stuff plus chest, shoulder, tris, and glutes...totally brutal, but hopefully totally effective...I definitely felt like a total badass, and I even managed a grand total of 72 push ups over the course of the workout - yeah baby, push up queen here!!!
Food was not totally keto, I had some grapes and a pear...subsequently woke up with a headache this morning...so, yet more reinforcement for keeping my keto numbers in line...<sigh>...but the fruit was delicious!!!0 -
Wednesday - #23 - had a headache most of the day, I guess I deserve it for not being diligent about keto...also, was way over on food, but Tuesday I was 900 cal under, so being 700 over today seems fine to me...shark week started and I think it was just messing with my appetite...did all the standard workouts plus some balance and flexibility work in the evening.
I still haven't started sewing or finished decorating for Halloween, how can it already be so late in October???0 -
Thursday - #24 - felt amazing today! I ate like it was a strength training day, and then I talked to my best friend who moved away for almost 2 hours on the phone and didn't do any strength training...<sigh>...so I think I'm going to try to shift the Thursday routine to Friday and the Saturday routine to Sunday and then I will be back on track with a normal Tuesday strength routine. Food was good, I indulged in a single hershey kiss and it was both delicious and satisfying...I have a week before my halloween party and I haven't started sewing my skirt yet, but hopefully can tackle that over the weekend...and I never got the call from the shop that the corset arrived, so I need to find out what's up with that...and I haven't finished decorating, plus the deck is still under construction...so much life happening right now!!!1

Friday - #25 - mild headache in the morning that went away pretty fast...probably sinus in nature since I've been a bit congested and we just had a cold front move through...cube workouts and some walking done...however, I spent the evening working on the deck during daylight hours and working on my skirt for Halloween after it got dark, so didn't end up doing strength training after all...finished my skirt around 11, got showered and went to bed...talked to the place I ordered the corset from yesterday and even though I ordered it in August it won't be coming in since the company has it back ordered...<sigh>...so I ordered a red WW tank top on amazon and that will just have to be good enough for this year.
Next year I'm picking a costume no one has heard of so that I don't have these problems getting materials - I'm pretty sure all things Wonder Woman are going to be hugely popular and I actually picked this costume before the movie came out.0 -
I've had sinus problems myself lately, it's no fun! Glad the headache went away fast! Hopefully you're weekend has gone better than your Friday morning started out!
Are you sharing the picture of your finished costume like you did last year? If so, I look forward to seeing the finished product!0 -
Saturday - #26 - walking during ballet, but not as much as normal since I decided to treat myself to a coconut milk latte and sit and read a book on my phone at Starbucks - it was so fun...plus, we worked on the deck after I got home so there wasn't really a huge incentive for me to get exercise minutes in when I knew I was going to have a very active day anyway. Got the back supports all done, and picked up the lumber for seats and kickplates...also did a bunch of random shopping that needed done...t-shirts, jacket, hair stuff, etc. And had another treat of Sweet Frog since they actually have 'no added sugar' frozen yogurt...and finished out the night with 2 glasses of wine...<sigh>...in looking back at the day, I didn't really eat much...an omelette for a late lunch, some sausage and eggs for dinner...probably should have eaten more real food and then I would have been less tempted to have treats...though as treats go coconut milk and yogurt are not terrible.
Sunday - #27 - deck construction - seats and kickplates are done, top rail is done, 2 of the 4 back rails are cut but not mounted, it's coming along nicely...no formal exercise, I did have wine in the evening, and colored my hair with henna...my carpal tunnel is killing me, taking anti-inflammatory herbs and oils, plus wore my brace when I wasn't working on the deck...there's just no way to work on the deck with that stupid thing on...food was good...omelette for a very late lunch, smoked turkey and homemade green bean casserole for dinner...we also had mashed potatoes, but I only had a bite of those...it was like a mini-thanksgiving and the casserole was delicious, they had fresh green beans and baby portabella mushrooms, so very yum! I did get into the chocolate a bit, should have stayed away...naughty me...1 -
Monday - #28 - so, a bit of a headache in the morning...I'm guessing because I got into the chocolate...it seems to hit me more at the end of the day, if I have it in the middle of the day I seem to be ok...I really just need to get some dark chocolate so I can handle the craving without all the extra sugar...in any case, had a bit of extra salt and the headache only lasted about half the day.
It was a tall-dark-and-gorgeous day...like 7 or 8 sightings, plus I even spoke to him, oddly enough, when I was trying to hunt down some dark chocolate.
Food was good - leftover smoked turkey and green bean casserole for lunch, turkey/cheese omelette for dinner...very yum.
All the normal exercise, plus pilates in the evening - yay for me!!!0 -
Tuesday - #29 - amazingly fun day...like 3 sightings of TDG, plus a fun training class, plus an awesome walk by myself at lunch, plus happy hour after lunch, plus hubs actually worked on the deck without me...I would have rather had him at happy hour...
Food was a bit over on carbs, but still under 50...protein was way too low for a strength day...calories were way too under...going to need to make sure I eat more...
Exercise was awesome, lots of stretching, walking, plus back/biceps/glutes in the evening...and I totally kicked *kitten* with 25# weights for glutes and upping my reps...plus 20# weights for biceps (mostly) and upped my reps on a few...
Totally feeling like it was an epic badass day!!!1 -
love that badass feeling 0
-
Wednesday - #30 - wow, like a whole month of keto...who would have thought that could happen...day was solid on food and exercise was normal...no evening workout because I was just feeling lazy and watching Bones instead...going to take tomorrow off work so I can cook and clean and do my weights before the party...should be awesome, going to be a kick *kitten* wonder woman and yes, I will totally be putting pics up!!!1
-
Thursday - #31 - I think I was good...work, standard workouts, standard food, then getting ready for the party in the evening...I think I did pilates...not 100% sure since I didn't post daily when it was fresh in my mind.
Friday - #32 - took the day off work to clean and prep for the party...food was good, omelette around noon, chili at the party, plus hard cider and hard lemonade...didn't track, didn't workout, though I think walking around in those heels was quite a workout because my shins are sore...party was epic chaos...didn't get to bed until 2am...
Saturday - #33 - hungover in the morning...not too bad, just so freaking queasy...cleanup from the party, eat leftovers, go to the grocery...definitely no working out, but almost no eating all day, so that's ok...party in the evening, lots of fun!!! It was an adult party, so quiet and not crazy like mine.
Sunday - #34 - good day, back to eating more normally, plus more cleaning, shampooing the carpets, fun and exciting life I got here!!! Going to do some yoga today since my upper back is not feeling right and my hips are not happy and my shins are still sore...however, the dog got into something and made himself sick, so between the party and the dog vomit the shampooing must go on!!!0 -

love the 'matching outfits' 0
-
Thanks!!!!
Rounded out sunday with Combat plus some yoga - it was an awesome weekend...up next weekend Imagine Dragons!!!0 -
Monday - #35 - I think I'm finally getting the hang of this keto thing without a ton of tracking. I did enter my food after the fact, but after haircuts we went to five guys, and I totally managed to eat on point...though the thought of just getting a milkshake and saying '*kitten* it all' was a bit tempting...I prevailed and stayed on target...so food was good yesterday, and exercise was standard...no extra evening exercise since I spent 3 hours in the car and 2 hours getting everyone haircuts...but it was a solid day all around!1
