11/2 Check in
Monthly Goals:
I'd love to lose 10 pounds this month, but don't know that it's realistic. I'm going to keep it as my goal though...aim high, right??
My anniversary is on the 20th, so I want to possibly go off plan that evening (a glass or two of wine) without derailing completely and going back to old eating habits.
Daily Goals:
Water: 75/100oz
Logged Food:
Exercise as Planned?: I'm planning to go for a 2 mile walk on my lunch break 3 days a week
At or Under Carb Level: 20/20
At or Under Calorie Limit:
Month total: 5/10

Nov 2. Survived the candy cravings by making a low carb peanut cookie. Successfully stayed on plan, within macros and counts.2

I'm in!
My goals are:
1. Give keto a try for a solid month.
2. Move my body every day
3. Log my food
4. Eat enough at meals to not need snacks
5. Be kinder than necessary and show my gratitude.
6. Take my thyroid meds and supplements consistently
I have a dr. Appointment next week. I'm hoping for positive results both in my blood work and on the scale. My scale at home isn't very reliable, so I'm going off the dr. Scale mostly.
SW: 203
CW: 195 ( estimated from my scale)
GW: 142ish

Messed up. Again. In the same places. Le sigh.
I need to get my *kitten* together. And I only have 3 kittens. 1 -
I want to add something to my goals...stress less. I tend to be a very nervous person and tend to stress over every little thing. Things that don't necessarily need to be stressed over. Still working on drinking enough water. And sitting at 207 for the past couple days. But I'm staying under 30 g of carbs so that's good.3

I felt really good about today. I was very energetic, mind felt sharp, and I made a kick *kitten* dinner (low carb lasagna). I will see tomorrow if the weight loss is actually a thing that happened or if my scale was just being screwy.

Still eating just animal kindom, but got fooled by "gluten free" cheese sauce on my burger at a restaurant today. Got super bloated and crampy shortly after. Called the restaurant. Oh, the cheese sauce contains wheat flour? Good thing I'm not celiac. Very misleading of them
Oh well. Lesson learned; ask detailed questions before ordering and never assume waiter knows what a gluten and grain free diet means.2 -
11/3
1) Log every thing every day
2) Keep it under 25 net carbs
3) Only step on the scale once each week (the scale makes me crazy)
4) Drink more water than diet coke
Ugh, today was hard but I made it through the day under 25 net carbs. Day 3 back on the wagon and I want carbs, lots and lots of carbs. But, I didn't indulge in the brownies that some evil person left in the break room.. and I didn't call for pizza delivery after the dinner I made was simply horrible... and lets not even talk about the cheddar cheese and pepperoni "chips" that I made tonight that tasted like charcoal. Luckily I found a little peanut butter to wash the taste out of my mouth and satisfy me for tonight. Tomorrow's another day and it will be better.

Sauces and commercially fried foods are some of the only sources of contamination in my diet.
Thing is, if you ask about it then you should get correct information. Like you said, it would have been much worse if you had a severe intolerance/allergy.0 -

I'm still committed to not micro-managing my nutrition. However, I find it easy to make less than optimal food choices without a plan. Today I've set aside my foods I plan to eat.
I must remember that cheese is a condiment, not a meal. My mantra needs to be eat more meat if still hungry.1 -
