    1/28 - 163.8 - Quite alright, no hugs needed. This is sodium and general foodbaby uptick from a delightful dinner out. We went out to our local hibachi place for dinner to get out of the house. I got a bento box with teriyaki steak, tempura veg and shrimp (why must it be fried? At least there's some extra protein and nutrients still there), and california roll. I also ensured to eat all my miso and salad before dinner to help fill me up before the calorie bomb showed up to the table. I didn't eat all of it and focused on the proteins and veg before allowing myself to indulge in the roll and (best in town) fried rice. Today we are headed to the big city to get BF a suit jacket. I'm tasked with matching it to his already-owned slacks and shirts. We'll likely be eating out while there as it's an hour to hour and a half drive depending on traffic. I'm feeling confident. Today is the first day I've felt neutral. I've been feeling fat/bloated/heavy since October before I gained back all the weight (and then some) I had previously lost in this challenge. It's a nice feeling and I want it to stay so I'm very motivated to keep that up.

    Previous Day's Comments
    1/22 - Headed out of town in a bit and there's a chance we won't come back until tomorrow (bringing work things to work on the road as a precaution) which also means no weigh in until Tuesday at the earliest. I wanted to let you all know I'm still alive. BF's dad and brother weren't so bad, though they all got a little silly Friday night and I went to bed with some loud sleepy music to drown out the loud talking/laughing. They left yesterday around noon and I spent the day putting my house/routine back in order. Pups are getting along now, for 3 mornings now they've taken to play fighting for hours as soon as I let them out after waking up. It's been an hour now and I can still hear them going at it. I'm glad, though. Harley still isn't sure about bed and couch sharing, but she's getting better. I'm working to get back into routine myself, but travel will postpone a little bit of that. For the most part, I stuck to my habits, though.
    1/23 - DNP
    1/24 - Not bad for not having weighed, tracked, and generally not checking in. Plus, TOM showed up on Saturday afternoon a little earlier than expected. And then travel, which not only lowers my water intake but also increases my eating out/unhealthy options. It's currently chilly, but a beautiful rainy morning. I did my workout to the sounds of rain on a metal roof. Journaled to the same sound. Just did a couple sun salutations under my porch overhang to thank Mother Nature for the rain as yesterday it was announced we were in a burn ban due to the dry conditions. I've taken to doing 3 iterations of sun salutation-forward fold-half fold-forward fold-sun salutation iterations a morning. It gets me focusing on my breath first thing, I always go to out on my back porch/deck (depending on weather) to get fresh air, and on clear days, I get a beautiful sunrise which always lifts my mood first thing. Despite missing my beautiful sunrise, it lifted my mood but that's due to the aforementioned dry conditions in the area being remedied. I went shopping and got myself the makings of a nice cobb salad I'll be able to munch on for at least 2 days this week, if not more. I also got the ingredients for making my own wontons/steamed dumplings which BF and I both like. Hoping this week will be a quick turnaround back into good habits after last week's upheaval. Also, it's good to be back here (: I've missed you all.
    1/25 - Oh I'm so proud of that number! I ended up making a GIANT cobb salad yesterday and BF decided to be a smarty pants and say "I hope that's not for dinner! It looks good, but too many green things" and so we had taco salad for dinner bahahahah! Today I did my workout, as planned, and am all caught up. Rest day tomorrow. Workout Friday, my day off, and then vet visit with Smoke for more shots and follow up on surgery. Hopefully cleared to bathe and walk! Harley is so mad for stopping our evening routine and bugs me every night. Sorry girl, I miss it, too. Cobb salad again today for lunch. I did eat breakfast but kept portions fairly small and hope dinner can stay small, but filling, as well to avoid eating back all my exercise calories. I have the last of the cobb salad for tomorrow and plenty of leftover veg for more salads! Hopefully I can eat it all before it goes bad.
    1/26 - I indulged in a small slice of my homemade strawberry swirl cheesecake (everything, including crust, is from scratch) after dinner. I was right at expected calories for Fitbit and under by 57 on MFP despite that splurge. It is lactose-heavy, though, so I'm not surprised at the little extra bloat, both visibly and on the scale. No workout today as I did 2 in a row already. Back at it tomorrow. Will be mindful about getting up and moving through the day, though. I have leftover cobb salad to finish up for lunch. Not sure dinner yet, but I should know by lunchtime and can adjust from there. Hoping to fast today and not need breakfast. Yesterday I was very nauseous and ate but hoping today I can push it a little further. Dinner was also later last night than it has been in a little while so I should be able to "tough it out" until lunch (and by "tough it out" I mean avoid the habit/boredom/mindless eating I'm used to while working. If I get nauseous or actually hungry, I'll eat)
    1/27 - Sodium? Uptick from the cheesecake 2 days ago? I have no idea why I'm up today. I was under calorie goal (estimate since I was working late and didn't see what BF put in dinner specifically. He told me, but I couldn't estimate measurements) and didn't eat back any of my very miniscule exercise calories. I woke up about 15 minutes before my alarm today so I've already knocked out my FeelGoodPlan workout. Debating if I want to attempt yoga with the pups finally settled down and back sleeping (it won't last). Already finished all my scripting and journaling once I hit post on this... Grocery shopping today as well as taking the pup to the vet. A lot of driving. Wish I could take the pup in with me into the grocery store. I'm a tad nervous using curbside pickup as I had a bad experience with them after I broke my back in Kansas. The produce they picked for me had a bunch of mold on it! And the milk was out of date. I've heard good things from friends about the store here so I'm hoping it works out. Now to make sure I have everything I need in my cart... eek! I guess this risk is better than driving the 40 minute (one way) trip into town twice!

    @deepwoodslady You do need help from a medical professional but here is an old article I hadn’t seen before - https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/low-carb-diet-for-diabetes#Whats-the-optimal-carb-intake-for-people-with-diabetes?

    A hundred years ago, low carb was the method of treating diabetes. It’s nice to see the medical science has finally figured out how well it works. Some doctors are resistant. My theory is they don’t want to “cure” their patients because those people are their livelihood.

    There are many books about the value of low carb but in your situation, you do need to be monitored by a professional who is in agreement with the low carb life.

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

    People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 5 years with amazing results!

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    SW: 127.0
    I need to get back to a fasting schedule.

    1/22 126.5 Fasted until 4:30 or 5. Got an Unwich at Jimmy John’s (#7) and could only eat half! I did have a glass of red wine and dumped the remaining 1/2 bottle down the drain!
    1/23 125.5 Art Quilts, etc meeting this morning, picking up a friend for lun-ner this afternoon (Golden Corral?) Weight might jump up tomorrow.
    1/24 127.0 As anticipated. Golden Corral for the first time in months. Not as good as I remembered it. 🤷‍♀️ Stayed to 25g TC limit but too much salt and not enough water and drank coffee later than usual so couldn’t get to sleep.
    1/25 127.0 No TMI for a couple of days UGH Got my new Garmin and set it up yesterday afternoon. YAY! Calories, protein and fat all under; carbs over by 6 - all came from assorted low vegetables.
    1/26 126.0 Good day yesterday- only 13g TC and over 5000 steps due to shopping. Today I have guild meeting an hour away and meal with a friend before repeat meeting. I’ll do my best to make that a good meal.
    1/27 126.5 20g carbs - it was 15 until I ate 2 squares of Sam’s Choice Dark Chocolate-something has changed with that product. It no longer melts in my mouth. Oh well, Amy and I went to Chipotle for dinner - we each got a salad and no chips. Or as many steps as I expected. I’m so happy to have my new Garmin and that it is synced with my iOS devices!
    1/28 127.0 No idea except no TMI. I have beef and Brussels sprouts with butter and my BP coffee with cream.

HOWEVER; proved to myself YOU CAN get 10,000 steps without leaving the house!! :D Completed my food and exercise diary for the first time in months, and a little happy sore from all my 5 minute workouts today. A tiny bit nervous about weekly weight in tomorrow since I'm eating my last meal so late, but hoping some stretching tonight and a good BM in the morning won't disappoint, lololo

    got care free in maintenance and the scale went up one lb at a time. Now I’m turning it around one lb at a time.

    2016- 245lbs
    2019- 142lbs
    9/12/22- 185lbs
    R211 EW 186.6

    1/25 186.6
    1/26 184.6
    1/27 182.8
    1/28 181.0 this is 100% dehydration!!! While I would love to keep seeing this dramatic drop I am guessing there is a 5-6 bump up coming from last night. My calories were under but I had three Manhattans and I know how my body responds to alcohol.
    I want to say I will make good choices today but I have to admit I’m kind of hungover and I already opted for dog snuggles on the couch over kickboxing class.

    @quiltingjaine Thanks for an excellent article. Of course, the dietician will help me navigate as this article addresses the diabetes (which is what I was looking for), and I have the heart healthy to contend with also. (No butter etc.). It is nice to have a starting point of 90 carbs or less. I had put 100 carbs in my macros but was usually closer to 115 when logging. I will continue to reduce when meal planning. The lower the better, of course. Hopefully this dietician will help me to figure out how to eat a diabetic diet, a heart healthy diet and a weight loss diet all at once with menus that include more than 3 meals a day of chicken breast and nuts lol. Right now I am trying to substitute some of my low carb foods with low fat items. Low fat cottage cheese, plant based margarine, etc.

    Thanks for the article. Healthline is an excellent source too. 90 grams or less, here I come! BTW, on Keto I did count net carbs but I have not been doing that on the low carb plan. My counts have been for total carbs which I know is what you agree with most. The article did touch on the pros and cons of both ways. I rarely ever eat back my exercise calories or carbs. Thanks again for the resource.

    1/22 - 176.4
    Good. I’m headed back down despite the sample oatmeal-coconut-raisin cookie from the batch I baked for DH. I just shoveled the driveway and sidewalks so I’m feeling warm and energized! I hope it sticks for a few hours. Still wrestling with puppy-induced sleep deprivation, although he did nap a long time yesterday afternoon because one of my training buddies brought her 15-week-old Flat-coated Retriever puppy over to play. My Booker is 10.5 weeks. Boy, did they have fun wrestling and running and getting wet and dirty. We had fun watching, and then cleaning them up! Some of you said “more pics,” so here they are in a less frenzied moment, my Booker on the left and Chaos on the right. Cutie boys.

    1/23 - 177
    Oops.

    1/24 - 177.4
    Ah, well, a couple of nights of relapsing snackwise will do that. DH bought a Marie Callender chocolate pie to try, and I didn’t realize how crazy many calories were in a serving until later. Yikes! Trying to straighten myself out today.

    1/25 - 177.2
    Better, not perfect, last night. We’re getting all-day snow, so I’m off to shovel what’s there now. Exercise!

    1/26 - 176.8 💚
    I did much better yesterday — no nighttime snacks. Yay!

    1/27 - 178
    Aww, come on. No idea. Salt maybe.

    1/28 - 177.4
    Does this round seem to be slipping by extra quickly, or is it just me? I just hope the rest of Jan and Feb go as quickly—the really cold weather makes it much harder to manage puppy energy, though it does help when he runs like a nut through the snow, which is up to his chin. There’s a lot of ice, though, and ice on top of snow, and I’m afraid of falling, so I don’t go out with him much— I stand on the clear part of patio and throw things. I wish I could run of calories like Booker does! Ok, have a great Saturday, and stay warm & safe if your in the freeze zone.
