It was only so-so with food. Seems to be the norm. Another day when I ate on plan ALL DAY LONG and then blew it at night. I joke about going to bed early to stop this pattern; but I'm really thinking(hoping) a 5 or 6pm bedtime might keep me on track. How ridiculous is that??? So frustrating!

My midsection is fluffier than ever. Haha. Today is day 6! I haven’t weighed myself in a couple of days, I don’t want to get super obsessed, as that didn’t work well for me, prior. Maybe I’ll take measurements! It was a good day. I’m sore, but I made work into a workout. I’m working at ALDI and I get paid to workout lol. So I’m focusing on making throwing produce a weight lifting activity by repetition. Cases of carrots and cantaloupes are great weights. 😂 This feels good and feels right. Lori

Have a head cold as well not feeling too bad just annoying. Sun was out today, I didn’t make my mom cry (not a hoarders tv show calibre situation here but some work to do). No scale but I’ll be home Sunday to weigh in.

I was pretty successful… then life happens, Covid… I lost over 40 lb last time, without any problems, then I fallen down this wagon and get like half of this back. Part of it is that I was diagnosed with RA, And started with Humira. That didn’t help either… Once I learn about this diagnosis, I decided to go back to school and do my masters, so I can go away from the bedside ( I’m a registered nurse). My weight got up and down. Last summer I was trying keto again, but it just didn’t work for me… - no scratch that: I didn’t work with the rules. Anyway I quit. Now this January I got Covid, and it was really really bad… I spend home 8 weeks, and still even now feel like a sht… Anyway, 3 days ago I decided I’m back. I think I’m doing good this time, so far the scale is going down, I’m drinking 1 gallon of H2O per day, use kitchen scale to assure portions sizes. Have 6 more weeks of my double master program, a lot of stress with that, then work and adding to it family… it’s not easy ( but then, when it is easy?) I’m 47, have ideally 40 lb to lose. My younger son is going to college this August… first year- freshman… He decided on college about 700 miles away from home. So that’s another stressor. But I’m committed now. I use MFP to log in my call and macros. I’m trying to keep the intermittent fasting 16/8. But this not always works since I work 12 hours day shift, an I often go out with my hobby for dinner after work. I also have a problem to actually stay in my call requirements. I’m mostly bellow it, since I’m not hungry, and there is only this 8 hours eating window… how much you can eat… I know, I’m getting there… What about exercise? I do yoga since beginning of this year, after my Covid, but after I transition myself well into this life style again, I think I will start weights… I think it will help. Hope to hear more from your journeys. A.

I recall before I had to consume a ridiculous amount of sodium to keep that imbalance under control. The thing is, when I wake with a headache, and chug salt water, it makes me sick to my stomach. Meh, oh poor me. 🤣 I can’t remember what day I’m on anymore. It’s not that important. I’m getting into the swing of it, is what matters. I think I’m developing arthritis in my hips, it’s a family affair. The weight loss should ease some of that, fingers crossed. Anywho, happy day my friends! Lori

My mother broke her hip (VERY bad break), my father was diagnosed with cancer, I got Covid, etc, etc, etc.... So here I am starting over again! Jun 01 was my "day 1" - I actually didn't gain too much (still down 41 lbs, woo!!). I am hoping to lose around 15 before a wedding in August. Now that it is nicer out, I am incorporating about 30-60 minutes of daily walking - but I am wondering about IF. I hear its a great compliment to Keto but my husband and I are such all over the place eaters. Sometimes dinner is at 5PM, sometimes its 10. Does this affect the process at all? Or does a later dinner just mean a much later lunch next day? Looking forward to more information, and hoping this thread keeps me accountable!
