    @kathrout1973, I loved reading the end of your post where you wrote, "Feeling Awesome - feeling amazing, feeling totally in Control." That's a 180 turn around from a week ago. You so deserve to toot your own horn. You're unstoppable!

    @PanamaJane - just need to make sure the stress doesn't cause me to trip up - having a bit of it at the minute but so far so good, feeling much better and planning to stay on track

    @kathrout1973, feed your stress with deep breathing, not food, and you'll be good. If all else fails, take a stroll and let that picturesque place you live soak all that stress right out of your pores and into the very stones.

    Tuesday 6/7

    ARG!!! Left my prepared lunch on the counter this morning. Fell off the no booze wagon last night. I feel like crap. It's going to be a long day, but I will get through it.

    Yesterday:
    Logged: great
    Water: : great
    Carb Goal: :great
    Exercise: none
    No booze: Not sure what happened. Broke into a bottle of red wine. Today I feel and look swollen. I know better, it's just self-sabotage. Not the right way to deal with stress.

    Still looking forward to getting back on track and moving forward.

    Late to join the party, but we'll just call it fashionably late ;)

    I started June on vacation in Aruba, so you can imagine my derailment lol. I gained 3.6 in Aruba and about 2 before I left (over a month or so). I haven't been consistent enough, so I think this is the challenge for me! Yesterday I pulled myself back up on the wagon and I'm feeling good about it so far. My goals this month: Lots of water, Calorie goal, Carb goal, exercise goal and sleep 7 hours minimum (I do best with 8, but it's hard to manage). Soooo....

    Monday 6/6:
    Water: not enough
    Calories: 22 to spare
    Carbs: I was hoping to stay at or below 50, hit 53 (total)
    Exercise: in the bag
    Sleep: right at 7 hours

    Today I'll focus on water and carbs being right at 50 - I was just under 7 hours of sleep, and hit the road on my bike this morning. So far, so good.

    SW: 176.8
    CW: I am not sure how often I'll weigh in, so for now this is an unknown

    Hubby and I have been working on renovating our home....working pretty much entire day, so no "official" exercise, but I'm getting plenty of activity! It's difficult to stay on track with eating if I don't plan well!
    I haven't weighed myself yet, cuz I tend to get disappointed and then talk negative to myself, and want to give up and quit. This is something I am working on changing. So weight will be after at least 2 weeks.

    Meal planning for the week and shopping done

    Just stating that I have a social thingy tonite and I plan to not self sabotage. I can bring my own drinks and I can bring an item to eat that is keto. I can plan to only have some of that item. self contained. And I can choose to place my focus an connecting with friends there and participating. It's really not about hiding in the food, its about having fun with friends.
    It's only a few hours and even if I don't eat or drink anything at all, it's not like I would even be hungry.
    The goal is to stay on my own eating plan and have fun.
    And report back tomorrow for accountability. Have a great day, pals!

    We're having salads every night for dinner.

    Hi! I haven't checked in in a few days. I'm still on "lock-down" Macros have been spot-on and calories have been under. Feeling really good (except for seasonal allergies- yuck). I'm actually fasting today. I don't know if I'll eat dinner tonite or just keep it going through tomorrow.
    My new hobby/obsession is cold brew coffee. Anyone else make or enjoy this? My latest brew is with dark roast south american coffee, whole beans, which I ground at home. It is STRONG! Next brew with be with more of a medium roast Columbian.

    June 7:
    Water: better than Monday...will be even better today
    Calories: 4 to spare (yay!)
    Carbs: Under 75 - I think I'm ok with this - I've been wishy-washy about how many carbs I really want to stay under
    Exercise: in the bag - rode 8.5 miles on my bike before work! Loved it!
    Sleep: 6.5 (roughly) - I need more, I want to get closer to 8 a night, but I'll settle for 7

    SW: 176.8
    CW: 171.6

    How I lost 5.2lbs in 3 days is beyond me. I can only guess that the shock to my body from eating/drinking on vacation at will and then returning to my lower carb (and monitored calories) made it happen. I'll take it, though, I'm really hoping to see another 2 pounds come off quickly so that I'm under 170 again. It's been MONTHS and I'm really tired of the 170's. I'm feeling good and motivated, and this quick drop has really made me feel positive about my choices. Cheers :)
