    February goal - progress at least one difficulty level in pushups and get down to 25 minutes for 2 miles (currently at ~26 minutes) Keep food and water steady.

    Food - :+1:
    Water - :+1:
    Sleep - :+1:
    Exercise - 2 miles on elliptical in 25:15, so almost to my Feb goal. Not sure if I'll be able to go that fast tomorrow. Apparently my speed is very dependent on my music tempo. :lol:

    191.2 today, so a bit more loss, more than 5 pounds since I restarted now more than three weeks ago today. Still need to start exercising and lifting, sleep can be better. I also completely stopped taking supplements... need to restart that. February is hard on energy levels though with keto generally feel so so much better.

    OK, I want in, but with a bit non-standard goal: buy less stuff and cook more (freezer is almost full). Yesterday was planning to buy chicken rotisserie, but they did not have it, so I did not spend money for it. Also, I do not need it, I just like it. So I only got my staples (milk, flaxmilk and blue cheese), and want to try to stay the month only buying the staples I use up (it is cheese and milk basically, because I have a bunch of meats and bacon and frozen veggies), but not buying rotisserie or other stuff I like, but don't need. I could even live without milk, by making coffee at work and using powdered creamer, but well, I like to add MCT oil and other stuff to my coffee.
    So:
    06 - picking up order from Walmart, contains two pizzas (order placed yesterday). Not the best, but other items (cheese, burgers, sausages and MIO electrolytes) are reasonable. However, need to try to avoid spending again. Eating home cooked lunch, but it is the last serving, need to cook something today for remaining of week.

    2/01 - super good day
    2/02 - totally failed! I can't believe I reached for candy during the day. Mind you I was anxious waiting to hear about my new grand baby being delivered...but still! Shame on me. Back at it today!
    2/03 - good day!
    2/04 - could have been better, I made some gluten free biscuits for my husband but I ate a couple :) they were good!
    2/05 - perfect day. Even ate out for lunch but found a great choice at Jersey Mike's Subs - sub in a tub :)
    2/06 - completely blew it yesterday. I had lunch and was still starving. I'm trying to figure out why - I think I had too much sugar with the veggies and salad dressing (tomato you know) and not enough protein. I had turkey lunch meat with cheese roll ups. I think I need real meat like home made hamburger patties which have adequate fat and protein. I'll get this figured out!!!
