Daily post for Wednesday
Track- yes
Calories- fine
Carbs- perfect, even slightly under
Exercise- no
Water- ehh probably could’ve had another glass or two.
I am really getting motivated to get back to strict keto. I had said my first cheat would be at my daughter’s birthday party...and it was Saturday. I have had about 3 slices of her leftover cake and last night itgave me such a headache. That gives me all the fuel I need to keto on! I’d like to be down 10 pounds by the end of July for my trip to Cape Cod. That will put me in the low 180s! I haven’t seen that since before I was pregnant with my 4 year old!!!3 -

Daily Post Wednesday
Tracked? Nope...
Calories? Might be over, but was all healthy food and keto friendly. We had a catered lunch at our training session and it was delish.
Carbs? Good - definitely not over
Exercise? Nope was in training/workshops all day.
Water? Good... drank several liters
Sleep? Going to lay in bed and watch Netflix for a little while... that way I'm at least resting and if I fall asleep I don't have to get up to move to the bedroom...
Phew. The multi-day training session is over, so back to my regular stepping tomorrow. That was the most emotional training course I've ever been to... it dealt with super heavy topics. It was important and I learned a lot, but geeeeeez.1 -

Starting weight: 309.6 lbs
Previous Week's weight: 305.8 lbs
Todays Weight: 306.8
I took my Girl Scout troop to do an overnight at NASA so my food was horrible and I was grumpy lol. So it is not a surprise to me that I gained weight. A plus for this week is that I have increased my plank up to 20 seconds in two weeks. This might not sound like much but two weeks ago I could barely do 10 seconds and I thought I was dying after it lol. The small gains make me happy. So thankful for this group it is a huge source accountability for me.1 -

Daily Post: Wednesday
Tracked?: Yes
Calories: Way way over.
Exercise: None.
Water: A decent amount. Not sure exactly.
Comments: Honestly, not a good day but I don't want to spiral down because of it. I'm going to make today a good day and the rest of the week. So far so good. Wasn't able to work out yesterday either. Was just mentally exhausted from finals and wanted to relax. But will definitely work out well today to make up for yesterday and also because I'll be done with finals after today!
Also, I'm not sure if how many calories I'm burning is accurate while working out. I try to go for around 15 minutes as a starting point. And the machine says I burned aroudn 250 every time I do this which kind of sounds like a lot to me since I see other people not burning as much but working out for longer than me. That being said, I do make sure the elliptical trainer is at the maximum incline and increase the resistance to 12 (Not sure how resistance is measured) so maybe it's higher intensity?0 -

I always assume its inaccurate, knock 50-100 calories off the total and I log that instead. Lol
I walk to treadmill at the highest incline (15), at about a 2.0 pace or higher. After 35 min, it says I burned about 285. I usually log 200.
Its never gonna be 100% accurate. 1 -
@AB0215 Enjoy your trip!!!

If you are entering your gender, age, height, and weight into the machine, then it may be somewhat accurate. If not, then no not accurate. 250 calories for 15 minutes does sound a bit high. Think of it this way, if a 6'2" 250lb 25 year old male jumped on the elliptical, and did the exact same workout as you did, the machine would give him the same calories burned. But there is no way you would both burn the same number of calories, even doing the same work.
What does the MFP entry for elliptical give you? Even that won't be accurate though because it's based on an "average" intensity, but it might be closer.

Daily Post - Thursday
Track - no
food - probably, haven't eaten much (surprising!)
exercise - 1 mile swim and strength training
Recovering from yesterday's "procedure". Felt ok this afternoon so I went to the gym. But now I'm cramping again. TOM doesn't help. I'm hungry, but don't feel like eating - like nothing sounds good. I may just go to bed.1 -

Daily post for Thursday
Track- yes
Calories- under- I skipped lunch.
Carbs- over- I was dying to try the seafood risotto with parm cheese sauce at the place we went for dinner. I honestly picked out the seafood and only had about 4-5 bites of the risotto. The rest was packed to go for my hubby to eat. I asked if next time we went to the restaurant if they could switch out the risotto for veggies instead! Wish I would’ve thought of that sooner because that parm sauce was AMAZING!
Exercise- no
Water- not enough
