Good run. Getting steady at 3 miles in 36 ish min. Smelled bacon the whole time.
Pretty sure it was me.5 -
Doing pretty good, friends. Coming up with different plans of action to prevent snacking. I'll let you know what works.

3/17 - I did fantastic on my goals yesterday. I did two sets of kettle bell workouts. And walked around the mall all day. It only registered a little over a mile but I know that in a confined area my iPhone does not register steps correctly. I was walking around for five hours. I went to Costco and bought a rack of ribs to snack on. I also stocked up on macadamia nuts. They are my new fat bomb!2

This week has been good for carbs, weight, and collagen. Still no workouts. Probably start back tomorrow.2

3/18 - This morning I had to go pick my dog up so started out on a 2 mile walk. Then did Stronglift A. Went for another 2 mile walk and finished the evening with my Kettlebell workout. Macros and calories were good.2

My March week 3 was a bit of a mixed bag. My goal was to keep up with my cardio and carb goals, and to add strength training 3x per week.
I missed the strength training goal, only got in 2 sessions this week instead of three.
I went over on carbs on Wednesday, but according to the ketostix I stayed in ketosis.
I did my cardio every day, and hit my cardio goals for the week.
Despite the two misses, I did lose another 1 lb this week. I will try not to have any fails in week four.

Another beautiful day... Well it's not done, but I'm feeling fairly optimistic. I'm still doing very well having dropped calories, and still fairly active as I usually am. Drinking plenty of fluids and keeping an eye on supplements. Along with electrolytes.
Hope everyone is having a great day as well. 5 -
3/19- yesterday I got up and did my kettle bell workout. I went for two 2 mile walks and in the evening did another kettle bell workout. Drinking my water and eating my food so I'm doing fantastic! Hit my macros and stayed under my carbs. Now to start today's weightlifting workout.2

3/19-3/20: carbs/weight good. Forgot collagen Saturday but got it in Sunday. I have got to get back on the exercise train. I'm very all or nothing which is why I hate taking rest days. I seem to either exercise every day or take 8 weeks off at once. lol. Anyhow not going to happen. I am going to get back at it this week. My tattoo is mostly healed so I don't think sweat or using that arm too much will harm it at this point. Hopefully not anyhow lol.6

I'm chalking my weekend up as "an experiment"...and lesson. I knew this Saturday...which trickled into Sunday...was going to be gluttonous. But man, did it open my eyes. And to think that how I ate this weekend as a very special exception...is how I used to eat any weekend I got together with friends. 4200 calories on Saturday!!! I had no idea a bottle of wine is 1200 calories. I binged on pizza yesterday...but logged every bit.
I'm so happy I logged everything, because I needed to see the damage done...though I could feel the damage instantly. Within an hour of eating sugar/processed carbs, I felt bloated and icky. Today, I am up 5 pounds and woke up so nauseous and with a terrible headache. And honestly...other than maybe the first piece of pizza, none of the food even tasted as good as I remember...definitely not good enough to feel the way I did/do. I'm actually grateful to be back in the saddle.4 -
I am doing ridiculously, crazy, unexpectedly good with lowered calories!!! They're lowered by almost four hundred!!!!! I feel great and I'm so happy, I feel like I've gotten my focus and motivation back.
Now the scale needs to start cooperating.5 -
Under today for calories and net carbs.
I've had to take a few rest days (Thurs, Sat, today) while fighting a bad cold. I did get all 3 days of running in last week.
Weight is OK. 132.8 this morning.2 -
Most of the last week was a bust for me but I was back in gear yesterday. While there was a hour of couch potato time last night, it was not the whole night. I managed to do some dishes, some laundry and stripped the paint off half a dozen cabinet doors. More of the same planned for tonight, and hubby will be home to help LOL.

3/20 - I did my strong lifts in the morning. I took two 2 mile walks. My dog is really loving this! Then I swung the kettle bell before I went to bed. My macros and calories were perfect!4

This week has been pretty bad. Started okay with aquacise and circuit training and I bought myself a kick scooter as I can't bike due to my knees but I wanted to fit exercise into my commute.
I had a couple days well over calories and carbs. And ended this week with two days with a upper respiratory infection which means I haven't been logging, haven't been exercising and I haven't met my step count.
Down 1.2kg total this month.0 -
New week is up. Being at a dr appt this morning.
