    Aside from not indulging in alcohol, I missed all my targets. (Now considering a glass of red wine for good measure) :naughty:
    Hope you enjoyed the wine!! Tomorrow is another day and you had a very successful October o:)

    I've decide to change my goal from NO chocolate to "less than 50g", because I like chocolate and there is no problem with having ONE serving. It's when I eat a whole Lily's bar for lunch (*cough yesterday cough*) that there is a problem. If I put my goal as NONE I will fail regularly. At least this way, I can have a little and still feel successful.

    :blush: Starting tomorrow :blush:

    I do everything Sunday to Sunday, so this is my 1st-week wrapup.

    Water - 10 cups or more: 7/7
    Excercise every day: 7/7 (*)
    No plants / carnivore: 7/7
    Carbs 10g or less: 7/7
    Calories <= goal: 5/7
    Strict logging: 5/7

    My appetite has spiked upwards on this meat-only experiment and I'm eating more than I had planned. My snacks have been more meat, but when they happen at inconvenient times I don't make the effort to get them in the food log. :frowning: And while I did excercise every day, several days were lighter than usual as I was recovering from some pulled muscles in last week's 5k run.

    Hopefully the appetite issues will sort themselves out this week. And my legs are fully recovered now from last weekend's injuries.

    Gosh Darnit!
    It's been madness. Soccer is finally over. And my dd15 just had a birthday. She had 2 friends over Saturday night, which meant I had to clean all day Friday. And then I took her and another friend shopping Sunday.

    I'm still sleeping awful, and I'm a little achy (stupid Sjogren's joint pain). Sinus headache and sneezes this morning. Fall allergies are a joy.
    I did my maintenance week, and I am sad to go back, but I have returned to a deficit until Thanksgiving at least.

    App or site?
    The app makes everything harder, but if you are motivated you can manage it.

    Using the app, you have to find a pic on the web you want and copy it's image/web address. You can then tap the little pic in the edit bar while posting and paste it there. That will paste the image address inside a tag called "img". To replicate that, highlight and copy that tagged line (which will hug the url with "img" and "/img" except the quotations will be replaced by brackets.) To steal images from others' posts, for example to steal my little trees, you have to quote the post they are in and then copy the tagged line, which will also begin/end with the "img" tag. Then you can highlight and copy the line and delete the rest of their post you don't want, and use the window to compose your post and paste the pic/icon where you want inside it.
    A right PITA. But doable.

    The site is a load easier since you can have multiple tabs open, it's easier to c&p just about anything without having to jump through the aforementioned hoops, and it's easier to navigate in general.

    Back to basics is what I need! Been off for a few months and now looking for a Keto reset. In fact, just read the book. :wink:

    I have managed to get into keto the last couple of weeks and lost about 4 lbs so far. With the holidays coming up and a trip to my parents' over Thanksgiving - now is the time to get serious! I set my food journal up for 1600 calories per day, with 20 carbs and 80 protein. Trying to stick to that!

    Would love to have the multiple year stretch that some folks have had - may this be my official kickoff! It gets so much harder to get back into keto and this time I really felt it as an "all over" body ache - yuck!! Not fun to go through that...
