Kerri's Crazy Life

Well today is just blah! I can't get my craving fixed. I have eaten all the food and still not satisfied. I'm absolutely miserable and getting a slight headache from trying to eat so much different stuff. Maybe this will pass soon. Crazy thing is that I haven't had a craving one or even been hungry the last 2 days until after I ate lunch and then both days it was like a never ending snack attack all day. Need sweet, now need salt, oh wait sweet again, nope wrong it's salt now...gah!
I did get in my 2 days of the challenge done and I got in my steps. Goal for today was 4600 and I got in 11325 as of now. Hmm more calories burned today... could have added to the munchies too today.
I also didn't get the water in that I have been doing so that probably played a role in all this too I'm sure.
I just really want a fast break or Reece's cup and my chocolate pb fat bomb didn't do it.. not any of the 3 of them I ate 🤦. Glad I closed out my food diary for the night and about to go to bed to keep my mouth shut!
Please let tomorrow be better!0 -
That sounds like me during my period. Sometimes I'm a bottomless pit during ovulation as well. Throwing in factors like lack of water and sleep or more activity and I'll eat all the things. It's definitely a balance I'm still trying to find myself.
The good news though is everyone has those days and it's nothing to beat yourself up over. Not every day will be perfect and it's okay!
I hope tomorrow is better for you!0 -
@WifiresGettingFit thank you so much! It's definitely rough! It does help knowing you're not alone though 😊.0

@knorris84 you're welcome! Nope you're never alone!!

You just reminded me that I joined a challenge last week! Of course it was right when I got sick. I guess I can start today.
I also sympathize with the hormonal cravings! Going to the grocery store right now is pure torture. The red devil will be visiting me at the end of the week and my body knows it.0 -
Well today....blah not good at all! I have binged ALL day on ALL the foods. Like seriously I'm sure I'm out of ketosis now and my stomach hurts so bad I can't breathe. It's super gassy feeling too. I can't even know what all it's trying to digest at the moment. I got to the point I just stopped logging bc it was just making me feel worse and worse, which made me want to binge more and more. I'm so frustrated with myself. 73 days I've made it and now this. Ugh! Today is done and over with. No more looking back!
Tomorrow is a brand new day and I will be back on track. Here's my new mindset:
1. I deserve to be happy, healthy, headache free, and to have more energy.
2. I am in control of how I nourish my body and it's all on me to ensure that I do it properly.
3. My husband and son deserve to have the best version of myself.
4. Keto is the way to ensure all of the above falls into place. Keto makes me feel good, headache free, and have more energy. Keto makes me a better me!
It's time to get up, dust myself off, and get back in the saddle. I had to get my mindset back to my why factor and start fresh. No more cheating or a bite here and a bite there. It just hurts me in the long run and stalls my progress. I'M BACK!
I didn't get my water in but I did however get my challenge (last day of 2 days worth) and my house walk in. My steps goal was 4700 and I got 11875 as of now. I was trying to walk off the cravings today... didn't work ha!
Tomorrow is day 74 of keto, but day 1 of my fresh start with better mindset!1 -
Well I woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible headache. It's not to the point of migraine just yet at least, but it's pretty close. I know exactly what triggered it this time. I had so much junk yesterday, but I also had a couple things with real sugar in it instead of my Splenda naturals. I absolutely CANNOT eat sugar! No matter how tempting it's really just not worth it in the long run.
I still woke up very motivated today and ready to tackle my first "fresh start" day! Be back later to do an update on the day.0 -
I hope you feel better, and you can totally do this!!!!0

I hope you're feeling a lot better today! I know how hard it is to feel out of control and then the physical consequences just add insult to injury. You're strong and you can get right back on track. Keep your goals in sight, even if you have to make that literal. Write them down and put them somewhere you can see it. You've got this!0

@megbeveridge93 it's so funny you said that about literally writing them down bc I do a journal besides here, like one I write in off and on during the day and I have it at the top of the page and a little like symbol thing I drew on my wrist for a day or two for a reminder. Everytime I look at it or go to journal either one I remind myself. I know it probably sounds absolutely crazy but in some weird sort of way it helps me re focus. Thank you I do feel much better today. I'm much better focused. I still have the cravings like no other today but I've done more things that fit keto. I may be a little high on my fat today but at least it's not sugar and I'm still at like 5 carbs for the day so that's better.1

Today was much better. I still went 130 over on calories and could have improved in many other areas, such as trying to avoid the fat bombs, but I needed something sweet and hey at least I avoided all sugar today. I thought all morning meat, meat, meat and then fixed a hamburger Patty that was 390cals 😲. I will have to remember those patties are for days when we have a lower calorie supper meal planned. Oh well, you live and you learn. I planned on burning more calories today but things came up and I didn't get a chance to.
I got 3 bottles of water in but could have done much better.
I got my daily challenge in for today and my steps goal was 4800 and I got in 11590 as of now.
There were many areas I could have improved today, but I'm okay with what I did succeed with. My goal is for tomorrow to be even better!0 -
Today has been much better! I still crave something sweet after every meal but I'm trying to convert that. I've been doing fat bombs every night for weeks now even before this TOM and I know it's just hindering progress. I'm going to try to swap that for yogurt or something so it will help out on my protein but maybe not trigger that dessert thought as much.
I played around with my macros today. I changed them to maintenance for my goal weight and it's a ton more calories. I'm so completely stuffed and still have a ton of calories left. I had already had fat coffee and lunch and all before I tweaked them so I'm looking forward to what I can manage with it all tomorrow on a blank diary. I'm hoping to get in much for protein and lots less fat. I haven't met my protein goal yet since being on keto so we will see. Give me all the meats 😂. I'm worried about the increase in calories tho bc it's a mentality thing with me. If I have the calories I want to eat them and I know I'm full. Like I can't breathe I'm so full bc I was trying to up my protein and I still have almost 500 calories left. I dunno....
I got in my challenge, and two house walks, one of which I added in some other exercise to tone other areas. My steps goal was 4900 and I have 11771 as of now.
I fell short on water today though.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a success. Tiffany if you read this and have any suggestions or thoughts please throw them at me! 😀0 -
Today was the first day of sticking to my macros and with the change of address made to them. I was able to stay within them but I did notice I was on my phone all day trying to mess with different things to get certain precentages for my macros. I got to thinking that I'm overly obsessing about it and that's not healthy and it also feels that it's taking too much time away from Tucker so back to just staying low on carbs, but this time really trying to make sure I eat lots of protein and then just let that fat fall where it may. I don't have the time or the patience to be so specific. Guess that means I'm going to change over to more of lazy keto but with tracking. Or whatever I'm sure there's a name for it. Anyway, I did notice after dinner tonight I got a busting headache and I dunno why. I had left overs for supper and same ole stuff the rest of the day. The only thing different today is I was lower fat and higher protein. Like a lot lower fat and a little higher protein. 🤔. I may try some more salt tonight just to see.
I got in my challenge, water, house walk, and ran a bunch of errands today. Today was definitely a success and didn't need to snack much but now the headache...crazy. Steps goal was 5000 and I have 10217 as of now.

I've had some ups and downs but I have been back on track since Sunday. I think I just needed to get my head back right and stay off of here for a while and it definitely helped. I had gained over the last week or so but I'm slowly climbing back down.
I had a root canal done today so I was a little high on fats today but I was trying to just get stuff in me that would keep me full and wouldn't hurt my mouth.
I've been adding in some weight and other body parts strength training with my walks daily. I'm still going strong on my challenge so far. I'm still getting in my steps daily too. Today's goal was 5400 and I'm at 13464 so far.
It feels so great to finally have a grip on this whole keto thing! It's taken me a while to get my head wrapped around how I need to do it and of course I second guess myself when I read other people do other things. I have how I need to do it for me finally and that's how I'm going to go at it for a while. I may still play around my calories some but I'm leaving the rest alone.
I'd like to figure out my calories for my goal weight and just eat that everyday instead of decrease now and then increase back up, but of course when I input the information in the different calculators I get different calorie goals so who knows. And should I calculate it for maintenance and add in the exercise or calculate at sedentary and then add my exercise calories separate? Hmm 🤔0 -
Oof, root canal. That's rough! You're doing an amazing job on steps! Looks like you're crushing goals all over the place. With the amount that you walk every day, choosing between sedentary and maintenance is definitely a difficult decision. I tend to set mine to sedentary and add my exercise. Everyone does it different though!0

@megbeveridge93 yes this root canal has been a doozy. It's my second one in the last year. I think the sedentary is probably what I will keep it set to also. It gives me something to work for and I like being able to add calories like that during the day for something that I've accomplished.
Today was a pretty good day once I got my tooth pain under control. It hurt all night long and I couldn't even think about trying to eat this morning. The bad thing is I've had another root canal on the opposite side of my mouth back in July that didn't take and I can't usually chew on the side and now under no circumstances am I allowed to chew of this side now. Now both sides of my mouth just hurts plain and simple.
I got in my steps, challenge, and a decent walk today. I didn't do as great on water today though. Hopefully tonight will be better and I can get some sleep!1 -
@knorris84 it's been a while since you've checked in, how are you doing?0
