    Looks good Tracey. Looks like what my son eats on his diet. Did you make those beans? I need bean recipes. I'll look up 'speckled butter beans'.

    I bought the beans frozen and they were cooked in my instant pot.

    I wish Fiber One would make gluten-free options! I need the fiber, and they look so good! I am going to see if there are any options at Whole Foods. I would start eating those with my meal.

    I used to love fiber one bars and I'm going to get me some high fiber and low calorie ones this weekend :)

    I like the fiber one bars. My local Martin's Food Store had 4 boxes for $10 so I picked up 4 boxes.

    I really like your plan of alternate day keto-ing.

    I love Fiber One bars too. I tried it the first time just after Christmas and bought 5 boxes back with me lol.

    Ohhh...crab cakes...that's what i love ordering in seafood restaurants. Never had one at home. I'm not eating as many simple carbs lately too. No rules but eating that way.

    Meal looks fantastic, Tracey. Love everything you've got on that plate of food. We've got the same taste!

    Well I changed my official weigh in day back to Friday so no chart today. My weight for today though was 153.5. I will post my official chart on Friday.

    Nice weigh-in! Has the alternate LC been working well so far?
  • tlblanksfit

    The alternate LC has been awesome. I believe that was the key to my success. I will definitely keep going with that.

    Good job Tracey, it looks like you've got this under control now.
  • tlblanksfit
    tlblanksfit Posts: 1,573 Member
    I believe I do Jim, I believe I do. This new plan is getting me to the point where I am not always concerned about what to do. I know what the plan for the day is, I stick to it, and I am able to maintain. My confidence is getting to where I believe I will soon be at the point where I won't need to weigh everyday and can move to weighing in once a week. If I hold steady the rest of this month, I think I will try weighing only on Fridays in February.

    Can't wait to see your chart update!

    Today's official weight 156.1
    Average for the week 154.4

    I started off the week really good then fell off the last three days. But this is a new day and I must stay the course.

    I also have been really slacking on the exercise, water, and sleep fronts which I need to get back on track.

    Nice job keeping your average close to/below 155!

    I am definitely glad I was able to keep my average below 155 but I don't want to be pushing it every week. If I could keep my daily weights at or below 155, I would be content.

    That is my challenge for this week. I think I do good when I challenge myself soooo... Tracey your challenge for the week 27 January - 2 February is to have your daily weigh ins be 155 or below.

    YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
  • Brendalea69
    Brendalea69 Posts: 3,863 Member
    YES you can do it Tracey :)
  • brittdee88
    brittdee88 Posts: 1,873 Member
    You can do it! You only had 2 days when you weighed more than 155, so you're on your way!

    If I can get it together on my other elements (sleep, water, and exercise), I think it will be much easier.

    Today's Noon Meal. I am on my 2nd 16 oz cup of water. I hope to finish this with my meal and then fill my cup up again with the hopes of drinking 2 more cups for a total of 4 cups (64 ozs) before leaving work today at 3:00pm.

    You can do it! The important thing is for us to keep trying :smiley:

    Your meal looks yummy again. Is this home cooking? Great that you are able to cook so well!
