I'm doing the thing. Cals and carbs right where they should be. I'll be starting Day 5 of Warrior 90 today. Days 2 and 3 were too easy, so for Day 2 I added reps and Day 3 I added a 10min Tabata from BodyFit by Amy. We shall see how this workout turns out. I skipped Day 4 as it is a rest day. I don't need no rest.
Meanwhile...my weight is not budging. Still don't have the New Year's Eve carb weight off. Fun fun.
I recommend everyone check out Elizabeth Benton on primalpotential.com. She has some great podcasts. She gets right into the psychology of the thing. I find her voice takes some getting used to. But she's really insightful.
Here's a clip from an email she sent out:
"There is NO magic in a fresh start. It's just an idea.
There is NO magic in a goal. It's just an idea.
The magic is in the WORK you do TODAY. The actions you take TODAY.
There's no magic in a plan.
The magic is in the ways you choose to execute today.
Every single day has just as much power & potential as the 1st of a new year.
A proper goal can be a compass, pointing you in the right direction.
But you do understand that the compass is completely useless if you don't move? And the compass is completely useless if you move in a different direction?
What I want for you is to decide the direction in which you want to take your life and then focus EXCLUSIVELY on what actual steps you can & will take today to move in that direction."
The podcast in question is her most recent I believe. In it she gives a few steps to accomplish what she's getting at.
Anyway, have a great on-plan day!10 -

Checking in.
Did great yesterday, until 10pm.. After I broke into the scotch the rest was history. At least the bottle is finished. Not buying any more.
New day.
Calories/carbs: meals all planned out.
Reminder: Stick to the plan...0 -
Still struggling to get through the day fully without resorting to carbs, but the cravings are getting less so I am doing something right, been out shopping today and haven't bought anything Carb heavy for me (although have a few bits for my son as he won't give them up yet) so am keeping them separate away from my stuff so I am less tempted - hoping by the end of the week to be fully back on track1

January '17:
1. Don't majorly cheat.
2. Keep up with ROMWOD (crossfitty yoga), at least 3-4 times weekly
3. Keep up with crossfit at least three times a week.
4. Run my half marathon and not hate running afterwards.
Ok, I have a... problem. Due to the marathon training schedule and some work and travel requirements, I will not be able to do Crossfit three times a week (most likely, twice this week, once the next, and once-twice for the next two weeks after). My ROMWOD time is also suffering because I'm running way more mileage then usual and hence have no time or energy for anything else. I'm going to push for three times a week after January is over and February kicks in, as of right now I will stick to twice a week.
On the bright side, no major cheats. Went over my protein requirements a bit once or twice, but stayed within carbs and calories. I still don't hate running, but I wish I was faster so it didn't take me two + hours to run 10 miles. Something to work on, to be sure. Oh well, keto on!0 -
So far I'm keeping carbs right. Weight is within maintenance range. Since the rest of the week is snow and super cold I got a rainy run in last night which makes 2 outdoor jogs this week. I still have to get on with strength training workouts...nothing there plus I forgot to take my collagen again.0

Had a good day today, moving in the right direction. Am releasing a lot of water...maybe tomorrow will be my whoosh!
Have tried to be more active and today the result was a nice long nap! Hope I can sleep tonite, but sometimes a nap is good.
Carbs are down, vacillating day to day between IF and OMAD. Both styles seem to help me with cravings resistance.
Baconslave...love the "no magic in a goal" post. It's so true. It's all about the action and the energy!!!
Still no specific goal for me...but I'm making the magic happen again. It feels good.

I've done pretty well, though this afternoon/evening I've been extremely peckish and was really struggling to resist the box of movie snacks the ILs had sent for my kids.
I had a few bites of carbage but didn't totally fall off the rails. Still starving and almost out of calories so I need to figure out a lower cal, LCHF snack. 2 -
Oh and I ended up doing strength today despite the joint pain, so I'm on track so far this week ITO fitness goals.2

All right. Finally, today, I stayed on the keto plan -- albeit with the help of some keto Riesling. Went off plan post Christmas and took many days of for various pizza, Asian, Indian etc. meals out. Well, it didn't make me happy. What made me happy was lots of grilled cheese. Finished the tapioca bread I'd got with that. It's sort of lower carb but I realized it's high glycemic. So now, I'll just have grilled cheese with fathead pizza bread. Hopefully, cravings for all things carb will disappear soon. I knew I had to start today when I saw how much heavier I am now then before Christmas. I know a lot of this is water retention from my period approaching plus glycogen etc... but still.
I want to quit coffee, but if I have bullet proof coffee, I really don't get hungry or feel weak for a very long time.
I'm determined to focus on this and do well for the next 12 weeks. I'm gearing back on track till Monday and full focus starting then. I hope to be down to the last lowest of 194.6 by Monday with water gone... and then 179 by Feb 1st. That's an average of around 4 pounds per week for the rest of January.
I need to stop eating earlier. And I need to sleep better and more. Take my meds and supplements.
I lost a lot of time going off. My goal is to get to 139.9 eventually, but now major goal is 154 pounds by the first week of April. And 179 by February 1st. This will be my most ambitious three months, but I have lots of reasons for wanting this 40 pounds gone in 12 weeks/three months.2 -
My mindset is getting better everyday, food yesterday was better and I didn't binge which is a great step forward, my meals were planned and I stuck to the plan, so today I am going to take the leap of faith and see if I can do a full day of LC without the binge in the evening - the really annoying thing is the evening binges make me feel awful and I then don't sleep well but still they were happening, but I am pushing forward today and hopefully it won't be many more days when I am fully back on track - I am aiming to get back to Zero Carb but have decided to be a little lenient within January and allow certain veggies until I am back in total control.
This is the first morning in a very long time that I have that positive feeling and motivation to achieve3
