Exercise: None tonight. Have an exam tomorrow morning. But will do a more intense one tomorrow after my exam.
Comments: Did better today. Did a fast. Didn't weigh myself today but obviously will tomorrow for my weigh in. I'm not sure if I'll get a loss this week. But after my exam tomorrow I'm going to really buckle down and plan my meals exactly until I get to 170-something.4 -

@sjtudor89 I'm sorry for your loss. It's always hard when you're facing an emotional challenge like the loss of a family member, stay strong.1 -

@SLIMn2016 First of all, I hardly think that half a pound is bad, it's normal when you're building muscle, and you definitely are with that kind of DOMS! And remember, that will help, muscle eats fat for breakfast so....next week will be better!
I've already been thinking about those things. Thanksgiving isn't normally an issue for me. What's going to be an issue is next weekend for me. My best friend's birthday is next week and he specifically moved his birthday dinner with his family to after my meet so I could eat at this fried chicken place he wants to go to, with his family who apparently adores me and really wants me to come. I haven't eaten fried chicken in like well, math is hard this early, but it's been since before June of last year, and I don't know how well I'll do with that, might eat some bread (gasp, I know a carb!) mostly because I want to see if it's as good as I remember. lol. Also, definitely going to eat candy corn, a Reese's and most likely some ice cream (and for those of you who know why this is a big deal--it's a St. Louis thing) Imo's Pizza...and then weirdly, back on track for turkey day, because it's always at my house, and I cook keto so everyone get's a keto thanksgiving lol. Maybe this will be the year I tell my mom my secret to the turkey....now that she's doing keto...(it's butter, the secret is butter) I actually do make other things, but I force my family to bring dessert and take it home with them, it does not stay in this house, so next weekend I'm expecting a carb gain, which I'm hoping will normal out by the next weekend weigh in....but we will see. Also, my dad's birthday is the 27th, and I always bake him a cake, which is much harder to do now that I don't eat said cake and can't tell if it's good or not lol.
My best advice for the holidays, track track and track. It's hard I know, but worth it. If you over eat on one day, you can make it up the rest of the week, by cutting a little extra from your other days. But you can't know what you need to adjust unless you track!
Also, if anyone's interested in a Keto Thanksgiving, I'll share my recipes

@CourtneyLomonaco It happens to all of us, the trick is, getting back on track! And you're headed in the right direction. 0 -

Thank you Ashley! Your Dad and I share a birthday--- I'm hosting Thanksgiving too...but nobody brings food---so it's all on me---and I have teen boys who want the desserts. It makes it really hard with kids (especially teen boys--they are bottomless pits of hunger 
)... you have the best tips though--- sending everything home with everyone is wise. I think this year I'll try to freeze most of everything "bad" for me--- and just leave enough out for the boys to pick at. My hubs is Paleo, so mostly will eat the turkey and sweet potatoes and maybe a little of the sweets bc it's a holiday. For sure the sweets are my weakness--- cookies, cake & pies I'm making less of this year. I may order them too--- last year I had to bc I lost my Mom right before Thanksgiving. I just hope that doesn't trigger a "I don't give a @&#!" eating spree for me this year. I'm trying to keep the holiday separate from the sadness, but it's very hard to do. I have to for my sons---and I have to for me, so I don't emotionally bail on my diet and binge (I'm sure many of you can relate in some form--especially to the emotional eating part?). This time of year is hard on so many levels for me.
Thank you for supporting our team so well @AB0215 --- you take the time out of your busy schedule to come here and cheer us all on--- it is so very appreciated Ashley!2 -

Comment: I've been eating at maintenance calories for most of the week on accident. I think the reason is I'm not eating enough during the day so by the time dinner comes, I get hungry and eat too much. I'm going to examine my diary and figure out what it is that's messing me up. Going to fix up this week and only eat what I plan.6 -

Track yes
Calories yes
Exercise God yes walking Through Penn Station had to use my asthma pump 8x before I got to the Red cap Amtrak station (so out of shape)
Goals/Comments:
So I am on a 13 hour ride to Charlotte, NC where I will be spending the next 3 weeks with family (during this time my weight will be the same until I get back, sorry but no scale for my size at my sis house). In preparation thanks to all the advice and support I have received from this group I brought these dinner trays that are reusable to make my keto meals so I won't buy anything from the Cafe car. It work for the most part too with the exception that my bag tipped over so the vinegar and oil for my cucumber salad spilt into all the parts so the nuts, chia seeds and berries were not edible (not for me anyway) But I love my recipe it turn out great even with the mishap here it is:
Cucumber and Celery salad
Take a bowl and put all the slice cucumbers , celery and onion and then cover the vegetables with 1 cup of vinegar and olive oil each and let sit in refrigerator overnight.7 -

@SLIMn2016 I make keto versions of cakes and cupcakes, that way I eat cupcakes along with them, and then I'm not cheating on my goals and I'm still feeling like I'm not giving anything up.1 -

@SLIMn2016 It's the rule. I will cook most of the food, and I make keto cakes, cupcakes, pies etc, but nothing with sugar, if you want it, you bring it, and whatever doesn't get eaten, you take with you. I pretty much spend the better part of 2 or 3 days in the kitchen in the days leading up to the big day. Now, I do make mashed potatoes, au gratin potatoes, and other things like that, but they still fall in the rule, if it's a carb, it leaves the house with all the carb lovers lol. I've come too far to mess it all up now!
I may have that I don't give a crap thought when the day comes, and over eat, but I can promise you, it won't be a carb lol. And if I do, it will be ONE day, because I can combat one day, I can't undo a whole week lol, that's the key, one day.1
