    Rough week. Poor weather kept me inside doing paperwork too much of the time. Did not get enough exercise, despite my goal to walk to the mailbox and back at least five times per week (2 miles each trip). In previous weeks, I've been doing a lot heavy yard work, but this week was pretty light except for yesterday and today.

    Doing reasonably well on eating gluten free. LCHF is usually a no-brainer for me as long as I stay away from bakeries. :) I live 25 miles from town, so that's not really an issue right now.

    I've increased my magnesium a bit to cool down leg cramps & noticed benefits all over. I'll spare you the details.

    My weight has stalled this week, but I am ok with that cause I am feeling good. Not going to sweat it right now. Tasty high fat meals are leaving me really full and satisfied, which is a BIG plus for me.

    Day 3 - Hump day! Got my lunch and dinner all planned out again for today.
    Got my walk planned. I did deviate and have just one glass of wine last night, but didn't enjoy it, if that counts. I did forgo the mai tai at dinner. Working on a good weigh in on Friday morning.

    Day 3 of 31 was on target, ketowise. Had about 2 extra Tbsp of butter that may affect loss, but still totally keto.
    Today I forgot my weigh in until after breakfast, so I'm waiting til tomorrow. Really need to get my habits front and center in my mind. Slacking off did nothing good for me.
    Got a chunk of closet sorting done, more tonight.
    A quiet, but solid day on the journey...

    Food was great today other than the Reese's PB cup ... after watching 6 little boys all afternoon (mine + 4 others). :p Back on track now though, snacking on raw veggies and ranch. I love that ranch is OK on keto; I rarely let myself eat it before.
    Exercise: My Fitbit says 15k steps but I think it's drunk.
    Sleep: Right around 8 hrs.
    Hydration: Good.

    haven't done so well this week at all, but back on track today - getting back to ZC but I have decided to stop logging my foods and just go with the flow - eating when hungry and only eating until I am satisfied - going to be a bit weird for me but I have been dieting for so many years I think I need to get this out of my head first and just let myself get into the swing of things properly

    For some reason I'm having trouble getting in my water this week. I may also not be getting in enough calories. Going camping, hiking and biking this weekend so I need to stay hydrated. I'm thinking I want to buy a couple extra durable water bottles.

    7/19-7/20
    Vitamins - yes
    Water - not enough
    Carbs<80 yes
    Cal<1500 yes
    Activity - no, tweaked my hip and letting it heal. Feels pretty good today!

    No more than 30-50 total carbs daily--- Check
    Exercise 4x a week at least---Check
    Try a couple new recipes---Check
    Make an effort to get up a little earlier---FAIL
    Organize my house better---Nope

    This week was a little crazy as my mom was in the hospital a couple of days for a potential stroke. Turns out tests show no stroke but there is still no idea what caused her stroke like symptoms so that is worrisome. I got my workouts in but they weren't very intense. I didn't even weigh this week because TOM started early and I'm just not in the mood for the scale. lol. My house is not so great because I've been crazy tired. I have overslept most days. So fail, fail on those last two. I got an Instant Pot on Prime Day so I rocked the new recipes this week. :)

    Yay I have finally got back on track - had a full ZC day today - still have a little pain in my stomach from all the crap I have eaten over the last few days but it is definitely better and not as strong, I have given up logging as I am fully immersing myself into ZC and going to really start to listen to my body and eat when hungry.

    Still not managing to kick in the exercise, but decided need to concentrate on food at the minute and get that working well before I try to add in anything else

    7/1 weight: 177.2
    7/7 weight: 176.8 (-0.4 lb)
    7/14 weight: 177.6 (+0.8 since last week, +0.4 since the 1st)
    7/21 weight: 175.4 (-2.2 since last week, -1.8 since the 1st)

    Carbs under 40g:
    - 7/14: 49g carbs (I was hungry and ate my kids' chicken nuggets), I did not log my water
    - 7/15: 34g carbs, I only logged 4 glasses of water, but I'm not sure if that was a failure to drink or a failure to log
    - 7/16: 28g carbs, only 6 glasses of water
    - 7/17: 17g carbs, only 7 glasses of water
    - 7/18: 30g carbs, 10 glasses of water
    - 7/19: 34 g carbs, 14 glasses of water (I guess I was thirsty!!!)
    - 7/20: 36g carbs, 8 glasses of water
    - 7/21: So far I have had 21g carbs. I'm guessing I'll have an avocado for dinner, topped with melted cheese, a little salsa, and sour cream. That's what I had last night, and it was divine. I've only had 1 glass of water so far--been drinking black coffee like there's no tomorrow, though!

    I did well on 6 out of 7 days, and the scale responded! :)

    So sorry to hear your mom is not doing well. Hope the docs can figure it out.
    In the mean time, don't be so hard on yourself, kiddo. You have been doing great and Rockin' it!

    Okay, joining in in the middle here. Today was day 3 of keto for the first time since 2015.

    SW: 230 (3 days ago)
    CW:227

    <20 carbs: :smile:
    >120 oz water: :smile:
    Exercise: Ish. I played Pokemon Go for a couple of hours... lol
    Ketones: small-moderate
    BG below 110: :neutral: Not yet. However, for the last few months, it's been out of control even with long acting insulin. I'm no longer taking the insulin, and this evening my BG was 159. I'll take that as a victory for now. It's nice to not see a 4 in front of it. :smiley:

    Day 5 of 31. On target ketowise. Had a few extra calories, but all keto. No weight loss for today, but I had a small whoosh recently so..not worried.
    Still feeling some keto flu symptoms but nothing too bad.
    Tonight is dance night, and so I'll get some good exercise.
    Working on homebody projects. Making progress and feeling alright.
    It's the weekend, pals!
