This is the Check-In thread for Week 3 of the October "Prepping for the Holidays" monthly challenge.
You can report your progress/checklist every day, or every few days. As long as you are working on those basics, there's no "losing." You're winning.
Here's a rehash of the challenge parameters for those who haven't yet read them or need a wee reminder:

Ahhh...it's that time again. Fall. Temps turns cooler. Leaves change color. And all those holiday foods start creeping in on us. Pumpkin this and that, cider, with hot cocoa. And shortly after that Thanksgiving and Christmas parties smack us in the face with all those goodies. Before you know it, it's the New Year, and you're wondering "What the heck happened?" You're sporting extra weight. You feel guilty and unhealthy. And disappointed in yourself.
But it doesn't have to be that way! This month's theme is Prepping for the Holidays: A Basics Crash Course. This is my second Fall as a low-carber. And I lost weight the entire season. It CAN be done.
The keys to success in this WOE, or any eating plan for that matter, is three-fold:
- Consistency
- Persistence
- Time
Well, isn't that trite and overly simplistic? I'll admit it is simple, but not easy.
To let those 3 keys work for you, you need to be prepared. PLAN PLAN PLAN. I can't stress this enough. Plan ahead, log ahead. When you have a firm plan and procedure in place, you create good habits. And good habits work for you by keeping up momentum even when things get busy, chaotic, or just plain hard. You've already paved the road for yourself! All you have to do is stay on the smooth way and enjoy the scenery.
So in this challenge, we'll be working to set up and reinforce those good habits before you get in the thick of it. We'll be setting up those easy paths and building up that momentum by practicing a habit pattern to predispose us to sail through the holidays. There will be a weekly thread where you can keep track of the goals you reach. We can encourage one another, get advice about any trouble spots, share low-carb-legal recipes of our holiday favorites. In honor of this being the scary month, you can opt for the add-on challenge and get extra credit for working on a fear or scary pattern that often derails you or inhibits your progress.
We're going to compete with ourselves, trying to get the max daily score and collect the max daily pumpkins, or work toward collecting more than you did previously. We'll set up good habits in the following areas: water, electrolytes, staying under carb goal, logging daily, staying close to cal goal, hitting our exercise goal, and can earn an extra pumpkin for resisting a temptation or working on our "fear."
This is what your daily entry would look like:10/1:
- Water: 80/80oz
- Calorie goal within 100:
- At or under carbs: 28g/30g net
- Exercise as planned: 20min HIIT
- Hit electrolytes:
- Logged food (carbs):
6/6
Earned 6 pumpkins.
Bonus: resisted temptation or worked on fear: +1
Daily Pumpkins collected: 7
Weekly Pumpkin Count: 13
The above is certainly just a template. You all may want to add a goal like: "Pre-logged Day" or "Planned Ahead" or "Resisted Off-Plan Halloween Treat" or "Packed On-Plan Lunch". I do not recommend nixing the logging calories or carbs, however, if you are one who becomes stressed by calorie counting, that's ok. But I recommend at least keeping track of your daily carb intake. Portion and carb creep are real. And it helps to occasionally reset our ability to "eye" our carb-count. Now would be a good time to recalibrate your carb-sense. I want every single one of you guys to coast through the holidays, enjoying them to the fullest. Preparation and consistency are key.
On the First of the month, sign in to let us know your personal goals. You can wait until you've done your daily checklist and lump it all together if you want.
Goals might look something like:SW: 155.8
GW: 154.8
Get in the habit of pre-logging before things get nuts so I don't accidentally go over carbs and calories.
Stay on top of electrolytes so I don't get low.
Find low-carb-legal treats for the Halloween party.
To keep it orderly, on Oct. 1, this thread will be pinned in the stickies at the top of the group page and all you will have to do is go to it if the Weekly thread is buried and click on the links below. (So if you've already read the challenge parameters, try not to get too upset with me when I repeat them at the start of each Weekly Challenge thread.) We'll accept challengers at any time of the month. Remember, you are competing against yourself, and starting on getting the basics down (or refreshing them like I am), before the hectic holiday season is fully upon us, is our goal.
Happy Collecting.

See? I drop the frankendesserts and the weight starts to slip off again. I also stopped fussing over calories and let the fat creep up. Makes the weight more slippery.
Oh oh oh! And we had roasted Pork Belly for the first time. omgnomnom. We had it on corn hard taco shells, but next time we plan to make savory soft shells from the IBIH pancake recipe. Of course, my husband got food poisoning from tacos last month so it's really more likely to just be piles of sweet sweet pork belly, and I am 100% okay with that. That was amazing. Wishing I hadn't gotten our order divided into a 1.5 lb roast and 1 lb of slices. Next time I'm getting 4 pounds and JUST roasting it.

NOM indeed.0 -
So...
1. Stuck to meal plan
2. Went out yesterday (5 chicken wings at B-Dubs. 5!!!!), which was the only time I went out for food this week - bonus!
3. Spent too much time at grocery stores last week, but mostly for cleaning supplies. This weekend my grocery shopping was under $100, mainly because I cooked everything the week prior.
4. Not a work weekend. Yey.
Also, my 5K time is slowly creeping back down, so that's a plus. On to next week!0 -

As for this weekend, I struggled mightily with the food demons and lost.
I exercised but... They reminded me they were still there and got a few hits in on me. After working so hard and not seeing progress, and with my inner rebellious punk rearing its head, and with me getting pissed off going clothes shopping (I still can't wear a medium shirt because of my damn man-shoulders and long torso!
Tall-chick-problems!
) I opened the door, and the demons came in.
So I had a setback this weekend. But I learned a few important things. I'm starting a hard-Keto-reset. Back to basics, 20g total (I have been 50g for awhile), no AS except in my coffee (which will be Keto coffee and my breakfast IF-style). Hoping to do this for 10 days straight, and then evaluate how I'm feeling. The chronic fatigue has come back, and though it isn't as bad as it was pre-LC, I'm tired of being tired. With this challenge thus far I've determined that it isn't electrolytes. So I need to do some experimenting to figure out what tweaks I need to get this nonsense fixed if I can. And I obviously can't be trusted to NOT log right now. So that's the end of lazy-keto Saturday.
Here goes...

This is the first weekend in a LONG time where I kept up on my water intake, very deliberately.
Even though things are looking pretty good, I still want to get back to my simplified, mostly-animal products livin'.
Going to make an attempt to decline veggies wherever they can be extracted easily. Breakfast today was egg salad and black coffee. Lunch will be a slab of meat from the buffet at the market (hopefully lamb!). Tonight I'm making chuck eye steak with goat cheese cream sauce, and I'll roast some cauliflower for the omnivores at the table but pass on it myself. I'll have a coffee with cream, and a small portion of some double cream with dark chocolate powder for dessert.0 -

Snaking levels are low, which is good, but calories are up. I think it helps that I have food ready in the fridge, so I don't snack before fixing a meal - it is pretty much ready. For some reason cooking seems to make me less hungry.0 -
Friday/Saturday/Sunday check-in:
SW: 179
GW: 172 - getting close to this, so it is a reasonable end of the month goal!
1. <25 carbs/day - 2 out of 3
2. 10,000 steps per day - 1 out of 3
3. Log food every day - Yes!
4. 80 oz. water every day - Yes!
Weight after the weekend is 172.5, had a little up and down Sat/Sun. Had company all weekend and that included some red wine. Haven't been drinking much at all up to now, so that threw me off. Still on track to reach my goal for the month!

So sorry to hear about your fatigue struggles and hope the reset helps. I feel you on the clothes shopping. I have similar issues with broad shoulders and long torso. I am not super tall - 5'8", but have to wear large shirts - and I'm not even large chested! Oh well. Right now my main issues are hips/thighs...ugh.
Good luck!

Monday Check in 10.19.
My official weigh-in is Mondays, so I'm a bit out of synch with this, but I wanted to post that I'm down 1.2 this week!! I am thrilled. Since September 19th, I've been +/- .2 -.4 each week. Trying to get below 150, it's like a psychological barrier. I didn't weigh all week for that reason. 152 today. So close. I got invited to a HS reunion, in November so that has kick started me again. Hoot.
Love the tenacity post!!0 -

150 is my nemesis, too. I'm a sturdy 5'5, so 149 is the beginning of normal range for me, but I. just. cannot. get. past. 150.0 -

My chest left about 20lb ago. I'm just over 5'10" with shoes on. My thighs and lower abs are still my bane. Thanks for the well-wishes.
Man, I felt the keto-flu-blurgs, yesterday. Electrolytes were fine so no headache, but I felt achy and exhausted like I had the flu. Which isn't much different than most days any more. I'm thinking I need to stay uber-sure I'm in ketosis all the time or uber-sure I'm not. I tried moving up to <100g but it was hard to get high enough to stay out of ketosis. I'd love it if someone would say "Hey, Jess! Here's a free ketone meter and strips or a free Ketonix. Try it out for free and nail down your exact threshold!" Har-dee-har-har. Like that's ever going to happen.
Good thing though, that when I went to bed a little hungry b/c my calories were gone, I didn't lay there and fantasize about carbs this time. I laid there thinking about a cheesy, mayo/mustard, ground beef bowl. I'm so doing that for lunch.
Sooooo....trying to keep the fat as high as possible. I'd go full on dairy+carnivore but DH would b!tch at me if I didn't have a veggie on my plate at supper. :rollingtheeyesupinhere:

OMG - this is SO the same at my house... They just don't get it! I just have veggies on occasion to placate him and because we make the kids eat them. I am starting to doubt if the kids really need them, but they are growing and need vitamins, blah, blah.

My kids won't eat enough meat to NOT eat veggies. But they basically eat meat and veg with only an occasional carby side any more. Of course they have the chips and popcorn DH buys. I don't know why it is DH's bizness what I put in my mouth, but he sure seems to think it is. Why the commentary? I don't say a single word about what he eats. Ever. It's his own business. Because he's a grown-*kitten* man. I get that I was a Fatty McFatterson and made poor choices for a long time. But I've made good choices for well over a year now. Which I did ON MY OWN. Without his help at all. I don't need it now unless I ask. Which he isn't so helpful about even if I do ask. He's very good in performing "well-intentioned spousal sabotage." I have to just grit my teeth in silence and breathe and move on. I end up chewing gum frequently when he brings crap home or makes something he knows makes me crave. I don't say anything. I just chew my gum and stay out of the kitchen.

Getting annoyed with this weight creeping up as we approach the last third of the month. The hope of dipping into the 130s is getting a little slim at this point. I resolved the other day to cut out the veggies but I haven't made it yet. Going to ignore those zoodles tonight since I already reported my carbs above and won't be able to edit it by the time I've eaten dinner!
It does occur to me that we switched from Heavy to Light cream because the price of Heavy jumped almost $3/qt a couple weeks ago. Might be worth just drinking black until that price (hopefully) settles again. See if that helps. Carageenan is in every light cream variety I've found, in addition to the extra lactose sugar.0 -
