Original Weight: 224.4 12/4/2015
CW: 220.8 on Weds., 12/9
GW for Dec 31: 215 (roughly 2 pounds a week)
Final GW: 145-150 (haven't decided yet)
December Goals:
• Eat below 20g of carbs every day, including Christmas (I'm seriously done messing around)
• Eat 1500 or less calories each day
• Drink 128 oz of water a day
-Not too worried about exercise this month; just trying to get carbs under control.
-Eat at induction until I hit 200 lbs; then do two more weeks
Met all goals yesterday but went 50 calories over my goal. It was ROUGH day-- learning that i'll be getting some new responsibilities at work that I was not expecting, running errands at lunch AND in the evening, and hubby was out to a work dinner so I was flying solo with the baby that evening. Blah. So I just kind of ate some leftovers and some cheese. But hey, it worked and I was SOOOO tempted to just dive headfirst into a bottle of wine and snacks. As stressful as yesterday was I am so happy I could say that I at least stuck to my eating plan! Nothing worse than having a bad day and feeling fat on top of it. Today is going well and I'm hoping to stay on track with a family Christmas party tomorrow.
Everyone is doing AWESOME and I'm so glad I found this group!!!0 -
@slimzandra, nice job on forgoing the takeout--scrambled eggs is always a great standby and something I usually have in my fridge! That is definitely a weakness of mine.0 -
Catching up on the last few days!

The work day I had on Wednesday (began getting patients ready for surgery at 5:30am, and stopped at 2:45pm with one potty break!) has zapped me these past couple of days! So, no extra exercise or bike riding since Tuesday. I have three days in a row next week! I sure hope I can get some stamina built to withstand these long days soon!
Haven't been on the scale. I don't like to weigh when I feel pain since I know the pain is from inflammation, which shows increases on the scale. I'm waiting for a day when I wake feeling my best before I get on.
We have hubbys employer Christmas Dinner this evening. It's a rather large, semi formal, to do. I've managed to get hubby to color coordinate with me for this one! I'm excited to get to wear my pretty dress!! I'm not telling what it looks like because I want to post a picture here later!! I think I look fantastic in it! LOL! That's still weird to say! But, we are going to look good!

Down even further. Was it the fasting, or the dairy free, from the past couple of days? Today I already had cheese at breakfast, and I'm not sure I'll be skipping a meal today. Does the cheese make me hungry? Or is it weekend brain? It didn't help I was working on my novel in the kitchen today, to avoid sitting for long stretches. So when it occurred to me to eat, I was already looking in the fridge. Lunch was dairy free (MMBH's Cilantro Chicken OMGYUM). Dinner is pizza. I think I ruined my scientific method, but we'll see what happens. Life IS the experiment!0 -

Friday and Saturday were okay for me. Ate a bit more than I needed in the evenings, but I tend to do that when tired or ill and I am still run down from gluten exposure. Calories weren't too off I think... I was too lazy and busy to log though. LOL
I haven't exercised for a few days. Only worked out 3/7 days this week. A bit disappointed in myself but I felt poorly so I am letting it go. I will get going again tomorrow and push through.
The scale has been sitting around 149 for a few days so I am pleased with that.
My son's b-ball team had a game yesterday. We had been undefeated so we were moved up a division and we were slaughtered yesterday. The poor kids. It was 50-10. Ugh. Hopefully they can shake that off. HOPEFULLY I can get us moved back down to our old division! Wish me luck!0 -

Well I'm sitting with my legs shaking from a 6 1/2 mile hike. Almost all uphill. I ran down. I needed to clock some cardio, my one cheat I had planned (12/11 work Christmas party) rolled into another cheat dinner the next night0
-
I am probably going to continue fasting this week. Nice fatty breakfast and then nothing til dinner (except a chicken broth if I get foggy). Felt great doing it last week, and was definitely bummed not to manage it over the weekend.
A straight multi-day fat fast is probably not the best way to survive Disney World, but it's tempting!0 -

The good news is my weight this morning was not completely terrible after a weekend of overindulging on carbs. That included 2 large pieces of the best birthday cake ever! LOL.
Alcohol consumption was a Margarita and a glass of scotch. For the first time in over 8 months I ate too many chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant. Tasted so good. I've never reached that -carbs and sweets just don't taste as good as they used to level. Things I ate over the weekend were not on my LCHF diet and still had the same appeal to me after foregoing for so long. Friday, Saturday and Sunday lunch were off the radar, but I did skip dinner last night and surprisingly there was only a one pound gain this morning. This week is my dedicated "work it" week. I'm committed to working hard for the next 10 days with diet and exercise, as I plan on indulging again for Xmas weekend.0 -
I over ate today, but only 92 carbs.0
-
A little bummed this AM. But, down about a pound - so okay.
Keto is o n track.
Kind of a couch potato this week. Did get out dancing one night.
Holiday blues have arrived big time. Will check in tomorrow.0 -
Already updated. It ate it...
Day#______of being so tired. I can't put a number. It just goes on and on. Couldn't sleep at all last night until I took a Benadryl at around 2:30 or something. It took another hour to fall asleep. Kids got up early. I feel so run down. Maybe keto flu, maybe the antibiotics (that need to do something soon), I'm just so tired of feeling tired all the time. I've done the electrolytes. I tried to nap while the kids were gone this weekend but my brain wouldn't shut down. Off to down another cup of coffee.
I need to manage enough energy to get the floors done today.
On the bright side, though I hate eggs now, I tried a an egg-crepe fried in butter and spiced with garlic and dill, slathered in cream cheese and pink salmon and rolled up. Delish. Yummy breakfast.

Going ok - no gain, no loss. Calories and water are good, exercise is not so good. I've been sick for a little while now and I'm having some other issues with my body so I haven't been feeling overly energetic. I'm trying...just not going as well as I'd like it too. I'm happy to say my nutrition has been pretty well on par, though. So I have that going for me...0
-
same for me, no gain, no loss. Still getting over my cold as well. Stuffy and coughing this weekend, but maybe turning around? Looks like this will be a "no gain" December as well as November. I guess that is ok, although not preferred...0

Up a little after the weekend festivities, but not too bad. Have nearly two weeks before the Christmas gathering at my ILs house; hoping to lose a pound or two between now and then. Just focusing on eating low carb in the meantime, drinking more water, and saving cheats for the big day.

Scale is back behaving again, even though carbs and sugars were high for me last night. I love being around 20g. I battle the hungries when it gets higher, even though CICO is good. This week is my dedicated "work it" week. I didn't get my workout in, I was so close to getting to the gym, but I ended up exchanging an item I bought for an xmas gift instead. I'm counting the run through the mall! I'm getting short on time to get it all done. Warm in the 60s here today in NE. A run outside is in order for today.0 -

(+1) Affirmation NSV: Husband is talking about freeing himself up to eat whatever he wants when we get to Disney (as an adult with the power to choose his own path). Hearing all this has not tempted me to go, 'Oh, oooookay, I might as well eat ALL THE THINGS I SEE.' Very proud of myself, as I approach my 300 day LCHF streak!

(+1) Affirmation NSV: The super comfy flannel PJ bottoms I own used to be tight across the thighs and uncomfortable in the crotch (but clearly not enough to toss them out). Yesterday I saw my reflection in a glass door and realized they're as loose and flowy on me now as silk asian-style pants! (I tried to see if I could get both legs in one leg of them... not quiiiite but I could get both lower legs in there!

(+2) Exercise - Parking far away (in the rain, go me!)
(+1) Affirmation NSV: Last night we decided very last minute (as in, we were walking out the door to run an errand and then had an idea) to meet a friend for dinner for his birthday. They were already headed to Olive Garden, so we just met them there. I didn't stress about what I'd eat, and found exactly one item on the menu that was low carb. Had a little salad, and two club sodas with lime. No stress, no fuss! My husband (planned ahead and made a conscious decision) had Chicken parm and the accompanying pasta, plus two bread sticks. Normally I'd have been like, "Oh well maybe I'll sneak a little something, too..." but I didn't. I just like being keto so much!
