Well, here we are folks! It is September!!

2020 is flying by, that is for sure. Hope you all have a great day.

Typical day here for me: 18/6 eating window, keto diet with 1200 calories and 20g carbs or less.

See you all soon!

    Just realized I haven't checked in this week! I had a boatload of paperwork to do. Got it done just in time. :smile:
    I am 25% of the way to my goal. The last few pounds have been lost from stress and nausea, but still.
    @Meghan509 Glad you had a nice weekend! I can't believe it is September already.
    @melaniecheeks I hope you are doing well!
    Off to bed very early. I need sleep. Lots of sleep.

    Got sleep last night. Lots of sleep. I feel like a normal person today! I am going to eat normally today and fast tomorrow. Back to ADF. I actually missed the routine of it.
    Have a great day! Happy Friday Eve! Stay healthy!

    Good morning all!

    @KateNkognito good for you for getting your rest! I find it is important for us to get enough sleep in order to stay healthy in these crazy times!

    Today is the day before weigh in day! Regular 1200 calorie day on tap with 20g of carbs or less. Hope to have good news tomorrow AM. :)

    Have a great day and see you soon!

    Happy Friday all!

    I am down .6 lbs this week. I am happy with this! Happy to have a little loss before that time of the month is on its way. ;)

    Labor Day weekend here in the USA - Monday is a holiday. No work for me. WOO HOO!

    Planning to head to the beach this weekend to soak up any last bit of sunny days we have before fall arrives.

    Have a great day and see you all soon. :)

    I’m in Donegal this weekend, husbands birthday. So I’ll not be sticking rigidly to plan, but will try to make sensible choices.

    Morning!

    @Meghan509 Congratulations on the loss!! Enjoy the long weekend and the beach!

    @melaniecheeks Happy birthday to your husband! Enjoy your trip!

    I am cleaning house, doing laundry, and doing homework today. First day of school with kids is Tuesday! I am terrified! Who's idea was it to become a special education teacher?! LOL It will be ok. I got this.

    I am on track to be at a weight that I haven't been in since 2015 by my birthday in October. I also have made it into the next lower decade. I am pretty excited. This is the ONE thing that I can be in control of and successful at in all of the chaos of 2020.

    Have a great weekend! Stay healthy!

    Good morning! Happy Tuesday!

    Hope you guys had a great weekend. We had a nice day off yesterday. Went to the beach on Saturday and Monday and saw friends on Sunday. Good times. <3

    I am going to be on vacation for the week of Monday, September 14, so expect just a few posts from me next week.

    Talk to you soon! Have a great day. :)

    Good evening, all! Today was the first day of school with kids. Since I am in special education, I didn't actually see any of them today. It was also my first real fast day in a couple of weeks. I have to say, I missed intentionally fasting. Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to a yummy breakfast tomorrow, but the rhythm of ADF is nice for me. I am 15 pounds down. My goal is 56 pounds, so I am over 25% of the way to my goal. :)

    @Meghan509 It was a nice last weekend of summer. Glad yours was nice, too. Enjoy your vacation!

    Off to bed. Lack of sleep lately is catching up to me. Have a nice week! Stay healthy!

    Hi all!

    Crazy day today at the office. Back home decompressing now, sigh... :s

    Going to keep this short. See you guys tomorrow. Have a good rest of your Wednesday. :)

    @melaniecheeks You got this! You can get back on track if you remember why you are doing it. :) I hope your weekend was fun, though!

    @Meghan509 I am with you. I just sat down and feel like I deflated, literally. I hope tomorrow is better!

    Have a great rest of the week! Stay healthy!

    Good morning all.

    Another busy one here. Went to bed nice and early last night and that helped recharge the batteries a little. :)

    Regular day on tap here. Hope you guys have a good one. See you soon.

    Busy, busy, busy. SO GLAD tomorrow is FRIDAY! Today was a fast day, but also pizza day for dinner. Good combination. I can fast all day knowing that I get a couple of slices for dinner and I will have leftovers for tomorrow. :)
    @Meghan509 I hope it slows down for you a bit! Glad you got a good night's sleep. :)
    I am off to keep myself awake until a decent bedtime. If I go to sleep too early, I wake up in the middle of the night and think about all the things I have to do! Have a good weekend, if I don't get on tomorrow! Stay healthy!

    Good morning all!

    @KateNkognito pizza! :smiley: Good for you for finding something that works well for you. Like they say the best "diet" is the one you can stick too. That is how I feel about Keto!

    I am officially in vacation mode. B)

    We fly out early tomorrow morning and will be back the following Saturday. When we are back, I'll fill you in on what we did, etc. Staying low key for now on that front. ;)

    Next week I'll be logging in to keep my streak alive, and I'll plan to post a little here too.

    Have a great weekend and I'll see you guys soon.

    Good morning! I had a NSV yesterday. I had my picture taken for the staff directory and I look not fat. Still chubby, but not obese. :)

    @Meghan509 I hope you have a great vacation!!! You are absolutely right, whatever works best for you is the best.

    Off to do all the things and stuff. Have a great weekend!! Stay healthy!

    Hi all!

    Oooh way to go @KateNkognito!

    We are here! Made it safe. Will report back soon. Not a keto week, that is for sure. LOL.

    See you soon!! :)

    Have a wonderful vacation!

    Just doing this week's menu plan - cod tagine tonight (I need to use up some chickpeas), prawn curry, then I may make a veggie chilli using the rest of the chickpeas. I got some fresh chilli at the weekend.

    @Meghan509 Glad you made it safely! Have a wonderful time!!

    @melaniecheeks Well, you can come and cook at my house any time! I had half of a frozen pizza for my fast day meal. Your dinner sounds MUCH better!

    It was a long day, but I had a good fast. Also, yesterday I intentionally walked for a mile in the evening to get to my step goal. Intentional exercise by me... I never would have thought it would come to this! LOL Have a great rest of the week!

    Long day, but I got to see my baby run in his first cross country meet! Super proud Mama moment!

    Not much else going on, and I have to go do my homework for this week since it is due at midnight.

    Have a great rest of the week! Stay healthy!

    Hey, all! I am just starting to get myself together in my classroom. Figuring out schedules and everything. I feel much better today about everything. I *think* there is the beginning of a plan.
    In weight loss news, I am definitely on track to be down at least 20 pounds by my birthday in October. That will be 4 months, so over five pounds a month, on average. I have never had success like this before. It is exciting and a little scary. I am finally starting to notice the change in my shape, too. At this rate, I should be at my goal by the end of the school year.
    I hope everyone has a great end of the week. Stay healthy!

    Super crazy day. But now I can relax and go to bed early. Not so much to do now, just getting on a roll in the classroom. I hope everyone has a great weekend! Stay healthy!

    Have a safe trip today @Meghan509!
    I am avoiding my homework. I also have a whole bookbag full of stuff to do from school that I am ignoring. It seems like the best use of my time. :D
    I hope everyone has a lovely weekend! Stay healthy!

    Good morning!

    Back from a relaxing week in Montego Bay, Jamaica. :) We went through a pretty lengthy process due to Covid-19, but we are so glad we went.
    We had to submit negative Covid-19 tests and obtain a travel authorization for Jamaica. The plane was around 50-75% full and middle seats were blocked. When we arrived we had to answer some questions and then we were on our way to the resort. The resort was only 10% full. So we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. Pool and beach were literally empty. The most people we saw were at the restaurants at night for dinner. And not a lot of people. Staff wore masks and made us feel very safe. Tables were wiped down and sanitized constantly. Guests were respectful of health and safety guidelines. No issues what so ever. Flight back home was fine. Took us literally 10 minutes to go through US customs on the way home. Unheard of. :)

    Back fully on the Keto wagon! Hope you all are well. See you soon.
