    Just checking in. Not a good week last week. Had a good friend pass away, which was hard. Didn't stick to my goals very well. Too many calories eaten and not enough exercise. I did stick with logging every day, but no journaling. Oh well, a new week! More new challenges! Back to searching hard and strong for a new job. And I'm studying for my certification exam! Talk about stress!!! :/

    1.It appears that In order to keep myself from trigger foods this week, I'm finding some success by just upping my carb limit about 25g. This means no keto progress but still low carb at less than 50g. Anything to stop the crazy eating. So I'm pretty stablized for the moment, but definately missing the keto benefits.
    2. Feelings check in: kind of so-so. Not really feeling good about things.
    Coping strategies: press on with things I like to do, kind of a "fake it til you make it" mode. Watching out for my critical, judgy self as I really don't need to be my own enemy right now. I need to be my own best friend.
    3. Tomorrow is weigh in. I know there will be a gain...getting ready to deal with it.
    4. Not much moving around.

    over and out.

    1. Log everything accurately - CHECK
    2. Stay Hydrated - CHECK
    3. Reach protein macro (This is really hard for me) - CHECK - calling today a win. I came within 14 grams :)
    4. Work on my fear of fat (Appropriate for this time of year) - CHECK - still shoveling it in!

    I'm just leaving this here to go off of tonight! :)

    Day Seven!!
    Didn't weigh again... Trying to break that habit.

    Drank water.... Minimally. Boo.
    Drove for almost four hours. Daily cleaning. So yeah. Boo.
    Carbs I did well, and calories. Yay!!!!!!
    I ate keto foods!!!!!

    I DIDN'T SMOKE!!!!!! Biggest HELL YEAH!!!

    A good day. Great weather. Great family.

    Day Eight!
    OMG What a beautiful, laughing, smiling, bucket list of a day!! I'm tearing up over it! Hiking, flying in a helicopter, laughing with my loved ones, being in a forest, climbing rocks, jumping creeks, hopping, skipping, and running, twirling around with glee....it was a day I'll always keep as a snapshot of happy.

    I did not weigh again, which is a victory in itself lol!
    I drank lots of water!! Yay!
    I got loads of physical activity today! Yay!
    I did great with carbs and calories! Yay!
    Keto foods only! No peanuts!

    I DIDN'T SMOKE!!!

    Let me tell you....so much joy. :)

    Day Nine!

    Still a non smoker. Very tired and sad the boy is gone.

    No weigh in. Yay!
    Water is a bust...but I did drink a 44oz diet Mountain Dew on the drive home...that does count, so okay then. Yay!
    Activity, nope. Boo.
    Carbs and calories a big Yay!

    Day Ten!

    Let me just say it's a huge bust.
    Over ate. I mean i binged. So today was a huge boo. In all ways.

    No!!! Not all ways. Still a Non smoker!
    Otherwise today was a fail.

    I did log though. Might as well keep the data handy, right?

    I ate keto only. So my carbs are great.
    Water not so hot.

    Okay, I'm just having a rough couple of days.
    I ate on plan today, but I'm still wired badly.

    So to keep it short, I did meh, okay. No binge.

    1.Carbs/cals were good yesterday..keto range.

    2. Emotions check in: down for the count.
    Coping strategy: made travel plans to see my son, was nice to myself, kept daily expectations a bit lower to allow body to rest. Read a book, used social media distract my mind from negative thinking.

    3. Weigh in: up 3.6 lbs since last weigh in (better than I imagined) and am now 17.8 from final goal.
    For the record I plan to weigh in every day now since I seem to need daily accountability. Hope I don't slack off on this....my history indicates that when I don't weigh and log...I'm up to no good food plan wise!

    4. Activity: Still feeling a need to rest my body. As long as I can stick to my food plan...I am okay with that for the time being. Especially since I have a couple dance nights and travel plans coming up later this week.

    So glad I got on the scale again. It feels like a babystep in the right direction.

    Yesterday: rotator cuff exercises.
    Today: Walked 4.1 miles, 70 minutes, 3.54 mph. Stuffed too many groceries in my backpack. Heavy. Carried the bread so it didn't get smashed. :)

    Jumping in late on this (I have to get back in the habit of visiting the group). I eat fully Keto but I want to re-focus on eating to satiety and no further, getting my exercise in, and avoiding excesses of dairy.

    October 12:
    1 serving or less of dairy: em7od5ymabaq.png
    >5000 Steps: (3661)
    < 20 g Carbs: 19g em7od5ymabaq.png
    Eating only when satiated: (didn't really need that dessert, now did I?)
    Exercise: (not really)

    1. Log everything accurately - CHECK
    2. Stay Hydrated - FAIL
    3. Reach protein macro (This is really hard for me) - CHECK I did good! Within 13 grams so it's a win for me.
    4. Work on my fear of fat (Appropriate for this time of year) - CHECK - Cheeses and Olive Oil!

    Not important but MAN do I have to watch that broccoli and chia seeds I love so much. Good thing it's net carbs!
