It is so good. I'm doing LC carnitas with leftovers for lunch.@baconslave

Exactly. It has to. Part of me is still mad, but the other part knows that if I'm doing the right things, the scale has no alternative than to cooperate eventually.

Scale went down a lil'. Not all of it yet. It is dumb... That's fine. I'm doing the right things. Onward and downward. KCKO.3 -
1/18
Scale has ticked up a bit again. My gut tells me it is the Buffalo sauce I had on chicken last night and the small amount of bacon on my salad, plus soreness in muscles from increased weight and shoveling snow the day before. BUT my head wants to revolt rather than keep calm that this too shall pass. Stupid stupid scale! I would ordinarily think about an NSV but I can’t pinpoint anything that makes me get over it already, so I’ll just keep repeating that mantra. Looks like everyone else is seeing some success so I’ll live vicariously through the group for now!4 -

Aaanndd I'm back down again. I'm about to be sick! Can I get off this ride? Well, at least it's a low number today. I made a ham & cheese omelet yesterday for dinner, using 4 egg whites. I'm trying to cut down on cholesterol now. It was not filling at all. I was still hungry and made myself go to bed still hungry. I was good on my calorie count, a little high on carbs & protein, low on fat & cholesterol for the day and I ended the day miserable. I really need to find a happy medium fast, or I'm going to fall off the wagon and fall hard! I never fell asleep hungry before, but my cholesterol count was always high. I hope I find the solution.

try to find some of the "ok" fats to add to those eggs and other foods? I dunno. My cholesterol behaved. Sorry I can't be of more help.

My body hates me. I know I should be losing. Maybe I will do measurements later to see if there's been any changes.
Jess, you know what is happening, KCKO. KCKO. KCKO.

@baconslave Hope you see changes in your measurements! But I totally get where you are coming from! It's so dang hard!
I added 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp almond oil to the eggs, as well as green & red peppers, onions and salsa. It just wasn't as satisfying as it is when I used whole eggs. I get satisfied with 3 whole eggs with my omelet. This just wasn't as tasty and satiating as before. I did well on my keto diet because I ate what I liked, and I like eggs! LOL...I really don't want to go on the statin that the doctor prescribed me. Especially when I read things like keto dieters can have higher than normal LDL cholesterol levels but the size of the particles are what is bad. Unfortunately, my doctor didn't test for size, just levels.3 -

Taking a bit of break on food to work through my potential allergy issues. Scale continues to be a jerk so I’ll focus on upping my protein to stay satisfied and just watch the volume I am eating. Otherwise, just another gray couple of days in OH.1 -
I did not have it within me to check measurements bc I'm afraid there won't be a change. Perhaps tomorrow. Scale is still stuck.

Getting there....
I'm just saying no, and refocusing, when my reptile brain says "how 'bout a lil snack" at 11pm.
A month unemployed, but I went thru the first assessment for a Canada Post job (GREAT pay, benefits, good hours) so I'm hoping to hear more...and in the meantime I am back working on call with the security company I used to work for 15 months ago.
Drinking my water
not logging food though - UGH! I loathe logging after a few years of doing it regularly.2 -

Slight decrease. Good, good. Getting there! Today though, I plan on having a feast to watch the game. Chicken wings with ranch, ribs with bbq sauce and a slice of pizza. So light breakfast, light lunch, no snacks. Lots of water. Should be a blast!! If we win, get to do it again next week! LOL!2
