    05/23: 154.8 - Lots of walking (9.71 miles). Finished off some chocolate covered almonds and dried mango gifted to me on Friday, which is better than it has been. Solid hydration.

    05/24: 153.8 - Yay, a day without sugar! Ate a whole rib eye though. It's like I could feel my arteries hardening. But no sugar! Progress not perfection, right? Fitbit says 16,278 steps (7.25 miles)

    05/25: 155 - Wrong direction. A little sugar disguised as a spoonful of jam. Ate well, but simply too much. It's all just so much easier when it's sunny. Fitbit reports 7,978 steps (3.48 miles). Back to my desk in the morning.

    05/26: 153.4 - Ate well. Will drink more tomorrow. Long day but got in a walk. It's easier when the weather's nice. Fitbit says 11,220 steps (4.85 miles)

    I'm so happy I found find y'all and am looking forward to the next round!

    My apologies for the super long post!

    @SheilaBoneham for keto you want 5%carb/20%protein/75%fat. With protein the MAIN GOAL, carbs a
    LIMIT, and fat to provide longer lasting satisfaction. I have eased up to a more lazy or dirty keto. Senza has a macro calculator which will adjust your macros as you lose unless you enter a custom value as I have for protein. I know I have a low carb limit - I was diagnosed with insulin resistance back in the late 80’s or early 90’s. I was put on a diet which was almost no carb, lived to tell the tale and lost a bunch of weight until I switched back to eating the crap that made me fat to begin with. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️Now I check my blood for ketones and glucose every morning. I buy those supplies from Best Ketone Test - excellent customer service!

    Looking forward:
    I'm just too danged cussed to let this thing knock me back, and ruin all the effort I have put in to get here. I am stepping up my routine, and taking control. Sheltering in place means I can fully concentrate on getting in my exercise, and preparing healthy food.
    • May: focus on maintaining and increasing my progress
    • 2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
    • Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
    • Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
    • Cut down on eating between meals

    Never give up! Never give in!
    Back Story:
    2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
    2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
    2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ So far, so good.
    That's a WIN in my book!

    2020
    Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
