My cycle pace had dropped quite a lot so we had lunch n powered home. Lunch at a pancake house in sand dunes (more common than cafes but choice is carb carb or carb. Cheese n bacon pancake best option if that makes situation clear. Husband helped with pancake)0 -
So seems I have the logging and staying within macros well under control, but the water, supplements and exercise are just not happening...0

(((HUGS))) @baconslave I am very sorry about your loss.
(hugs) about homeschooling too. We are doing school board facilitation visits, finished up parent council for the board, coaching two soccer teams, just did two project fairs and my house has fallen apart. The kids are very lucky that they are still alive. They have no idea how close they are to being sold to the chinese coal mines. LOL
I am joining in.
CW 162.4
GW 158 for the end of the month. Ideally back to 150.
This month I will- eat fewer than 1800 kcal per day
- not eat over 30g of carbs per day
- skip evening snacks, or keep it below 100kcal.
Basically, I will eat less, eat less carbs, and eat less frequently. Less is the theme here.3 -

I'm going to join in too, pretty basic for this first week because we are out of town - no scale, limited cooking options, yada excuses blah blah... I have no idea what my SW is other than "higher than I want." So for now until we're home, goals are super simple:
Get enough water
Meet 6k+ steps
Log meals to the best of my ability even if it means guessing some things
Carbs under 75g total
oh! And take all my meds, because I forget when we're on trips, often, and it can lead to very bad places.
Met the first 2 yesterday but failed at the last 3...just realizing I didn't get all the meds yesterday. Have to be on top of that today.
Today 6/5 is off to a good start so far though.0 -

10/10 improved from 9/10 yesterday
Feeling I am getting back my sense of self accountability. If I suggest something sweet, My husband is also helping with silly remarks saying but you can't.... those candida are having a party at your gut cantina wanting more sugar and margharittas. Queue mexican hat dance or similar. Next week I guess they will be a different nationality bacteria partying in my gut! We may have been away from home too long as this multinationality bacteria party feels perfectly normal.1 -

End of week wrap up:
I seem to be back on track and able to zero in on my program -except for days when I socialize. This is some progress from the more constant lapses of the past few months. I plan to just keep chipping away at the reasons/solutions that i need to self sabotage over social events, til I get past that.
Did not add physical activities beyond dance nights. But I thought alot about doing it. Gonna keep at that til I break through.
Still holding off weigh in til June 14.
Daydreaming of the times when I was sailing through my keto plan and the weight was melting off. I did it before and I can get there again.0 -
woops! I'm getting a late start, too.
I just started on Low Carb and am still trying to figure it all out
I previously lost about 25 pounds, but gained them back and more over the past 8 months.

Happy Monday. 6/6
Got a lot on my plate today. Got a massage over the weekend and now I'm really sore. The deep tissue massage was too deep. I felt a lot of popping in my traps when she was doing it. I thought it would feel better, but now almost feels swollen.

Well, the weekend wasn't the best... but I logged... regardless of what I was eating, I logged!

CW: 224 (down 2 lbs so far this week)
June Challenge GW: 215
Daily Goals:
Log Daily: 6/3✔, 6/4✔, 6/5✔
Log EVERYTHING: 6/3✔, 6/4✔, 6/5✔
<20 g net carbs: 6/3✔, 6/4✔, 6/5X
<1400 calories: 6/3✔, 6/4✔, 6/5X
>80 oz water: 6/3✔, 6/4X , 6/5X
15+ min on elliptical: 6/3 - no elliptical but took my son to the amusement park and got in a lot of steps! 6/4 - no elliptical but did yard work and that felt like plenty, 6/5 - no elliptical, but took son to the waterpark and got in lots of swimming and steps!
I am really trying to see the positive here, which is that even though I ate crap at the waterpark yesterday, I logged it - of course my brain just wants to see the negative and feel like I failed life yesterday because I went off plan... ARGH! I guess all in all it was a good weekend though. Lots of fun that's for sure!1 -
...of course my brain just wants to see the negative and feel like I failed life yesterday because I went off plan... ARGH! I guess all in all it was a good weekend though. Lots of fun that's for sure!
Failed life? That sounds a little harsh to me. You were building memories with your son and that is a huge success in life. You were living life and learned that such times don't necessarily work out for your new WOE without some pre planning. Use that lesson to make plans for next time like packing beef jerky in your beach bag. (Climbing down from soapbox)6 -

This slipped away from me!
I've been pretty good, even with a menopausal shark week. OY!
