Just checking in. Not a good week last week. Had a good friend pass away, which was hard. Didn't stick to my goals very well. Too many calories eaten and not enough exercise. I did stick with logging every day, but no journaling. Oh well, a new week! More new challenges! Back to searching hard and strong for a new job. And I'm studying for my certification exam! Talk about stress!!!

1.It appears that In order to keep myself from trigger foods this week, I'm finding some success by just upping my carb limit about 25g. This means no keto progress but still low carb at less than 50g. Anything to stop the crazy eating. So I'm pretty stablized for the moment, but definately missing the keto benefits.
2. Feelings check in: kind of so-so. Not really feeling good about things.
Coping strategies: press on with things I like to do, kind of a "fake it til you make it" mode. Watching out for my critical, judgy self as I really don't need to be my own enemy right now. I need to be my own best friend.
3. Tomorrow is weigh in. I know there will be a gain...getting ready to deal with it.
4. Not much moving around.

Try leaving out any emojis. They hack off the post on some platforms.0 -
1.Carbs/cals were good yesterday..keto range.
2. Emotions check in: down for the count.
Coping strategy: made travel plans to see my son, was nice to myself, kept daily expectations a bit lower to allow body to rest. Read a book, used social media distract my mind from negative thinking.
3. Weigh in: up 3.6 lbs since last weigh in (better than I imagined) and am now 17.8 from final goal.
For the record I plan to weigh in every day now since I seem to need daily accountability. Hope I don't slack off on this....my history indicates that when I don't weigh and log...I'm up to no good food plan wise!
4. Activity: Still feeling a need to rest my body. As long as I can stick to my food plan...I am okay with that for the time being. Especially since I have a couple dance nights and travel plans coming up later this week.
So glad I got on the scale again. It feels like a babystep in the right direction.3 -

Day Twelve!
Feeling better today mentally.
I ate very well today, did some unplanned fasting, and oddly enough helped with hunger.
I drank a load of fluid today!!
Carbs are great!!
Exercise..... Yeah....I really need someone to kick my pants about this one. I'm soooo lazy!!
I'm still cranky, but I took a nap lol2 -
Yesterday: rotator cuff exercises.
Today: Walked 4.1 miles, 70 minutes, 3.54 mph. Stuffed too many groceries in my backpack. Heavy. Carried the bread so it didn't get smashed. 1 -
1. Keto is on! Currently in 36 hour of modified fast..motivation is from low mood, but once I get fully keto that may improve. So relieved for this unplanned gift.
2. Emotional check in: seriously feeling pretty low. No interest in doing anything.
Coping strategies: Going with the food fast, hoping the keto mood upswing will kick in soon. Dealing with loss as best I can, just trying to feel the feelings when they come up and then let them go. Feels healthy, not scary.
3.Daily Weigh in: lost 1lb of 17.8 lbs.
4. Activity: 30 minutes walking, hope to rally and go out with friends to a music club...maybe dance some.
Trying to keep steady through this. Think I'm doing okay with that. Really glad to have actually lost a pound...probably water, but the scale drop always feels so good.5 -

Jumping in late on this (I have to get back in the habit of visiting the group). I eat fully Keto but I want to re-focus on eating to satiety and no further, getting my exercise in, and avoiding excesses of dairy.

>5000 Steps: (3661)
< 20 g Carbs: 19g
Eating only when satiated: (didn't really need that dessert, now did I?)
