Survived the trip to Cincinnati. I only had one small indiscretion with some gluten free brownies at The Melting Pot. Still came in under my 100 carb goal. I got some walking in taking my nephew to Jungle Jim's. Overall an enjoyable time!4 -
y'all doing great!
My scale is doing the hormonal bouncy thing. Just trying to KCKO. I did very well NOT eating myself to death this weekend.
Just waiting for results. I have to figure out my exercise today since I have to take the kids to a thing which encroaches on my regular workout window. I'll make it work.3 -

Yes. When the kids call, that definitely takes precedence! Unless they call all the time asking for money! LOL!1 -

Time change is starting to affect my energy level but our sons and their wives (all the kids LOL) are coming for dinner tonight. Oldest is buying his first house so bits of anxiety floating around. Weather will be spectacular here the next 3 days upper 50's 🎉✨
Make it a good day all

I’ve gone a bit radio silent because the dang scale is increasing rather than decreasing. This is no surprise as I’ve been eating all the foods and had a birthday thrown in too so I used that as another excuse. I’m still making the effort to eat when hungry but have slips here and there. I’m really rethinking how I eat and when so I feel more satisfied but it has been hard breaking routines. I just bought the book Muscle for Life and have started it. No surprise but success is defined by counting those pesky calories so I’ve recalculated my needs and macros and am going to buckle down. This spiral is killing me! I will prioritize protein and back off even some of the healthy carbs to feel more satisfied. This weight stuff is definitely trial and error and a marathon, not a sprint. The number on the scale shouldn’t define us but getting beyond that thinking is tough. I’m going to kick Middle Age’s behind!4 -
rude water is back.
I'm just going to go take a walk and pretend that didn't happen. KCKO.2 -

Just got back from a four day trip to the New Forest where we spent days walking on the coast and in the forest. I would never have been able to do this before, it’s so amazing.
Added a teaspoon of honey to my breakfast every day but otherwise stuck to carnivore eating. That worked really well for me, I had the energy to walk around all day without causing any Fibro or IBS flare ups. So I think honey will become part of my food toolkit. I did have one dessert to celebrate my 50th birthday but that did cause a Fibro flare up. Thankfully it was short lived so just confirms I really do need to stick to a meat heavy and low sugar diet. The honey didn’t seem to cause any problems though, I guess at that amount it’s ok.4 -
I acquired a stupid cold this week and am having to put everything but work on hold, If I were still in the office I actually would have called in sick yesterday and today. I can handle chemo, multiple surgeries etc but a cold knocks me off my feet and I become a whiny little you know what LOL.
Today will be too beautiful out to let this sideline me so powering through.4 -

I buckled down and focused on protein yesterday and stayed under calories. It helped that I had a late afternoon appointment that kept me from my normal boredom snacking and had dinner later than normal. It was a nice day so I got in a short walk outside between a full calendar of meetings. Come on spring!5 -

Under 100 carbs daily = around 35. Forgot to verify exactly before I started typing.
Be active 3x a week for at least 20 minutes= 20 minute walk after dinner.
Eat more produce= salad for dinner.
I got a keto coffee at a local shop for breakfast and ended up not eating lunch. I like to limit artificial sweeteners as they can flare up my rheumatoid arthritis but I’m experimenting with them in small quantities so I can get an occasional treat out.
Leaving on a weekend trip to a super foodie sort of place with tons of gluten free options. Eek.4
