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
Update:
1. Been doing keto like a champ, but had an accidental slip up yesterday while eating at a dinner party. Overshot my carbs by quite a bit, and then fell off the rest of the evening with some popcorn and dark chocolate.
2. Went for a walk on Friday and a hike on saturday. Slow moving week. But! Deep cleaned my house for about 2-3 hrs daily.
3. Fairly consistent
4. I've been much better about snacking, but I've found an afternoon pickle and scoop of peanut butter to be helpful for my protein and electrolytes.
5. My family reports that I seem to be coming out of a fog.
6. I've taken meds and supplements daily!
The scale has not budged, but I'm chalking it up to shark week woes.0 -

CW 198
GW 195
Ultimate goal: 1400 -
November 7th: Stationary Recumbent, 60 minutes, 13 miles/the bike.
880 minutes remaining to meet November goal of 1200 minutes. Done!1 -
BAD night, but I will be accountable....
Goals for me:
Drink my 8 glasses of water
IF for at least 14 hours and preferably 18 daily Made it to 14.
Stay at or below my 25g net carb goal
62g net!
Make sure my protein hits approx 70g BUT not much more 100g
Get at least one day a week of non-work related exercise
Ugh, even with eating back my exercise calories I went over by 336...
Way too many carbs for what I want at this point in time. Plus Grey Goose and olive juice.
AND 156 g fat - also too much to bother burning my 'pantry supplies.'
Shark week
Total random sleep periods of 2 hrs or so every few hours today. Just because of shift overnight and important things like being with my husband as he went to the hospital for tests this morning with errands after. I feel like crap which blew my WOE after 8 pm.0 -
First weigh in for me having just started eating LCHF. Down 5lbs! Very pleased! No sugar cravings, feeling full most of the time & no sore belly & bloating. Last day off before 2 12hr shifts at the hospital. Spending this evening meal prepping so I don't mess up at work.1

End of Week 1
- Carnivore, so yeah... no plants (as usual)
I did just fine here. - Exercise consistently (strength every other day)
Every day I planned. - At least 10,000 steps a day
6/7 days, but my average was almost 11,500. The one day I didn't hit steps, I don't feel bad about because I completed a bunch of stuff on my TO-DO list. That helps with reducing my stress. - No weight gain (lean body mass gains should be offset with body fat loss)
Body weight down 0.4 kg. Lean body mass (predicted) up. Fat mass down. - REDUCE STRESS -- honestly, if nothing else, this is a major goal for me
Still doing my best on this front. Hopefully we get a closing date for the old house this week. That will remove a lot of my stress.
2 - Carnivore, so yeah... no plants (as usual)

Second week:
Mostly did well yesterday, active day but no exercise. Saw 200.8 for the first time in around 7 years this morning.
A lot of heartburn and stomach pain yesterday, not sure what the culprit is. Started drinking coffee again after two weeks of not drinking. I wonder if it's the Finlandia butter we tried this time instead of Kerrygold. Maybe too much coconut butter? Or maybe a supplement I took. Finally eating ginger helped.
Nov 8th-14th goals
Remainder of the week I'll be traveling. I will take my scale with me and be focused.
-- Sleep enough, it will be very busy. And I'm so tired already because I didn't sleep well at all this week. Don't resist sleep at night. If things are done in the morning it won't be the end of the world.
-- Say no to what you don't want to eat. Eat later if you have to. Take flax bread and avocados etc. with you just in case.
-- At least half an hour walk a day.
-- IF for at least 14 hours.
-- Reduce stress, especially with the added stress that will be this week.
-- Be 198.4 by Saturday morning. That is 89.9 kgs. That is 2.4 pounds from today. 8-9-10-11 in 4 days. Under 200lbs and under 90kgs. Do one non-food nice thing every other day for my body, a massage, putting on lotion, nails sthg. I haven't seen under 90 kgs and 200 pounds in almost eight years.
-- If this happens I will take Saturday easy, celebrate a bit. Then reprogram goals etc on Sunday. 13-14 full moon! I really hope the waxing moon won't make my weight high as ancient knowledge suggests! 16-17th after that the waning moon days are also supposed to be good for the beginning of a weight loss journey:) I'll launch my second phase officially then, anything helps:)
-- Be positive. Focus on health and work. Eat well and enjoyable foods. Don't be tempted by foods at events and when visiting others' homes. Eating out, make very healthy choices. No carbs (other than veggies), no sugar.
CW-- 200.8
Goal by 12th 198.4
Ultimate goal 139.9 (Less than 61 pounds today! For the first time! 60.9 pounds to go)

My experiment into ZC has been interesting. I aim for zero and still end up at 20 lol. I see the scale moving but it had gone up 3 lbs when i started but now Im back down. So it does help with inflammation/water wieght. Trying to stick to it during the week and go up to 40 on the weekends. We'll see if that works for me
Exercise (x3 a wk): FAIL I only got to workout one day but I was adjusting to my new work schedule. I think I got it now
Logging:
Under 20 net carbs on non workout days:
Under 40 net carbs on workout days:
Under or at Calorie Limit:
0 -
Got a few miles in, finishing up right at about last light. I hate that it gets dark so early.
1 -
November goals:
Under 50 net carbs a day
Workouts minimum 3x a week
Continue fall clean-up of the house
Get outside more
No issues staying in carb goal. I am counting 3 workouts. I trail ran one day. Took a nice walk at the lake while visiting my uncle in Ohio. The 3rd I'm counting because my little cousin was insisting on having a wrestling/karate battle and honestly I was sore all over the next day so it was a workout! lol. I was out of town over the weekend so no real house work was accomplished. My husband did clear out some stuff in his "junk" room while I was gone. That was nice. I was outdoors for my trail run and I made a point to visit the lake while in Ohio. Overall a nice week!1 -
