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)

(((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.

GW 158 for the end of the month. Ideally back to 150.

This month I will

1. eat fewer than 1800 kcal per day
2. not eat over 30g of carbs per day
3. 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.

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.

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.

yesterday, 6/5:

Enough water: yes
Meet 6k+ steps: yes
Log meals to the best of my ability even if it means guessing some things: yes
Carbs under 75g total: yes
oh! And take all my meds: yes

and we're home because our trip was unexpectedly cut short with a sick kiddo at home, so we came back yesterday instead of staying. So I'll be facing the scale this morning.

6/3 to 6/5 (got too busy to sit in front of the computer):
CW:168.4
GW: 141

Get in 10k steps per day: √

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

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!
