3/5-3/6
I didn’t log the last few days so calories were likely high but I decided to take a few days off. I had a couple of drinks with full on carnivore grilling and wound up with major heartburn. I’ve been loose with my eating the last couple of weeks and my body consistently is telling me to dial it back. Guess I should listen!4 -
3/6 food on point ... did a Leslie Sansone walking dvd...3.15 miles ...416 cals in 51 minutes

OK I have a new plan! Of course I do, where would I be without changing my mind every five minutes lol.
My histamine reaction is flaring up again due to the yogurt. So I absolutely have to find a solution to this. So my plan now is to drop the yogurt but keep eating a little cheese every few days. In theory this should help to stop the digestive upset I get when I drop the yogurt. For my energy levels I’m going to try eating more which means eating more at breakfast since I’m already eating until full at my other meals and maybe also eating until I’m completely stuffed rather than just full at my other meals. For my cramps etc I’m taking some supplements. Then I can adjust my cheese intake based on my digestive situation and over time adjust my food intake and supplements.
Let’s hope this works!4 -

Up again. 166.8. I screwed up yesterday though. My fault for not planning. Back at it today. Yesterday, I did start light lifting with dumbells...3 lbs. Just trying to get a routine going for my upper body, particularly my upper arms. Once I get upper body down pat, then I'll work on my mid section and legs.
Namaste all you beautiful people!4 -

Mar 8 ~ 166.2 - down a tad. Made myself feel better and went to JCP and bought some boots! Massive sale...4 pairs and paid only $30.89! I bought a pair I never would have dreamed I would ever buy, much less wear...
Have a wonderful day!4 -
3/7
Relatively good day but I did some snacking after dinner. Totally wasn’t hungry and the scale jumped a bit this morning but I assume it is water weight. I’m completely aware that I’m not listening to hunger cues so now to break the darn habit. I do fine early in the day and grab coffee mid afternoon if I need something for boredom. I work too hard to just bail in the evenings so I’ll keep telling myself that and find ways to overcome it. Have a good week everyone!3 -
3/7/22
Under 100 carbs daily = 29
Be active 3x a week for at least 20 minutes= Took a walking break at work, got rained on lol
Eat more produce= yes, veggie serving in my lunch and I made a big salad with dinner.
Down 2.2 lbs. Probably water weight so we'll see if it stays gone. Still struggling with headaches that I'm not sure are being caused by stress, weather, or electrolytes. I'm using my rehydrate solution and eating a lot of salt but I'll keep on it to try to shake them.4 -

noice boots!3 -
Here I am all busy. Hit another new post-pandemic-chubb low. 176.4. I will enjoy that while I have it.
Didn't do as well on Saturday as I wanted but it wasn't a blowout. Got into the nuts. I need to put them out of sight instead of on the counter to grab a bunch of handfuls of after having adult beverages...not at my most rational then.

3/8 did Leslie Sansone walking dvd to her party hits with HIIT twice so I got 6 miles today...I feel great no headache/migraines ..hips are on fire but nothing I can't handle ...5

New food routine going well, didn’t have any lightheaded episodes and only had a little dip in energy this afternoon. So a really good start, seems like I need to be eating a lot more than I thought I did.
Still focusing on my meals and how they’re making me feel, this is really helping.3 -

Keep carbs under 40 - ✔X
Keep cal between 1200-1300 - ✔✔
Do my house stairs 10x a day - 5, 5 ( tough one to meet need to be more intentional with it)

Use my stand up desk at least 1 hour a day - xx
So yesterday was a bust. Strong storm came through Monday night and we lost power. Didn't get it back until 4PM yesterday. I couldn't work and house temp dropped to 56°. I could have used the opportunity to workout and warm up but power outages tend to paralyze me mentally and I hate that. Even though I went over 40 carbs yesterday (tomato soup and crackers to warm me up) I stayed under 60 so I'm ok with that.4 -
3/8/22
Under 100 carbs daily = 33
Be active 3x a week for at least 20 minutes= Walked on my break. Cool but sunny.

3/9 We got up at 5am and left the house at 5:30am to go on our walk ..we walked 155 minutes ...6.69 miles and burned 829 calories ..Aspen the husky loved our walk and so did my daughter Alyssa
Calories are on point..I think I am a couple over on carbs ...protein is good 4 -
dang. Lost another pound over the day. 175.6. Just goes to show how much water I retain for weeks at a time for no reason whatsoever!
Enjoying scale progress finally. I know it will probably bounce around now. But that's ok. I'm doing pretty good. KCKO5 -
3/8 was an excellent day until my saboteur did something rational and cooked some tater tots at dinner to aid in my quest to clean out the freezer. I have new appliances coming Saturday so we are attempting to cook more at home to lighten the load on what we switch from fridge to fridge this weekend. Did I need those delicious pockets of potato love? Nope, but I grazed in front of them anyway and gained a pound this morning. Now, I know that goes away tomorrow but still was dumb after having a low calorie, low carb day. 😤4

I'm really over winter, but it sure is pretty outside today. My desk faces a northeast window and the sun is sparkling on the snow covered trees. I'll head out at lunch for a nice walk.4
