    I was in the gym 3 of the last 4 days, pushed myself even though my ear and throat are still bothering me. Resorted to French toast yesterday after a queasy stomach with muscle cramps. I'm hoping it was just part of whatever bug I have. The only difference diet-wise is I started having coconut oil again last week then had some fresh coconut for lunch on Sat. I really hope that wasn't the cause.

    Yesterday I had another really hungry day and ended up eating closer to maintenance calories. I was also stuck at home all day w/a sick kid so I think boredom may have played a role.

    Today is off to a great start though. I did C25K Week 6 day 3 this morning (10:41 pace on hills, which I'm really happy with at this point) and have plenty of calories and carbs left for the rest of the day.

    I've been having a lot of persistent headaches lately; I think I need to start drinking my "ketoade" every day in case that's part of it.

    Sorry for the OT but I have seen this term kitten a handful of times in various threads here. What does it mean in the LCHF world?

    Work travel has been nuts, work is nuts, kids are nuts, husband is driving me nuts :wink: so I haven't been as awesome in the last week as I would have liked, however. Overall I'm declaring Feb Challenge a success. I have worked on my mile time, gotten to the gym more, focused on my running form and breathing. I can't get to the gym today but I can tomorrow, and I'll go all out for my last day of Feb and see what my final time is for this challenge.

    MFP inserts "kitten" when it perceives a word to be inappropriate. It is usually those "four letter bad words" most choose to not say around children where "kitten" gets inserted.

    LOL ok thank you! That clears it up because each time I have seen it the context was different and I was really hard-pressed to figure it out. It's certainly more subtle than a bunch of asterisks.

    Once again the weekend is the bain of my monthly challenge! We went out to dinner with friends on Saturday to a Chinese restaurant and it was near impossible to choose something that doesn't have a carby sauce with it. Other than that and a glass of wine, I did ok. Didn't sleep well all weekend as hubby's cracked rib is still keeping him tossing and turning all night. Kids starting to come down with some sort of cold and I'm getting on a plane Thursday night - fingers crossed that I don't catch it!!!

    Just checking in at the end. My goal was 30 minutes activity every day. Id say i hit it about 50%.
    Unexpectedly lost about 10 pounds from stress; but, I'll take it!
    For next month I'm shooting for 30 minutes every day again.I'm about 15 pounds from revised goal weight, so I'd like some progress there as well!

    I'm still here. I've been reading. I'm just surly and in a pissy mood lately so I'm just staying quiet. :tongue:
    Did nothing productive this weekend. Ate too much.

    Did a Hero90 workout today...whew. I'll only be doing low-impact tomorrow.
    That's all I'm going to say cuz like I said. Me=pissy.
    I'll get the new challenge up tomorrow.

    Big hugs to @baconslave ve. Or bacon. Whichever would make you feel better. ;)

    Today went refreshingly well. Running in the a.m. definitely helped (and earned me more calories!). I ate back about half my exercise calories, macros were on point, drank tons of water and 2.5 servings of ketoade. I'm also on track to actually go to bed on time for a change!

    2/27: Weight good. Carbs at top of range due to crazy tea concoction with honey. No collagen. No workout aside from blowing my nose 8001 times, no chores. I've not had a full blown cold in at least a year. Forgot how miserable they are.
