    Great day today!
    21gm net carbs
    10k steps
    8 hrs sleep
    Under cals

    DH is also kicking *kitten*. He's not LCHF (heart disease patient) but he's definitely dropped carbs/sugar, is working out hard 3x/wk, and has lost 15 lbs so far. His jeans are definitely fitting more loosely.

    I lost the 10 pounds I set as my goal for November. I have lost another pound past that and very happy with myself and my LCHF lifestyle. I will be honest that I feel more out of shape now than when I started this 31 pounds ago. I was in denial then and had my eyes closed to the truth of how overweight and unhealthy I had become. I now am very aware and see what I have done to myself. I feel very thankful for the awareness. I am pleased that I am no longer in denial. This is a way of life for me not a diet.

    Better day yesterday. At 200.6 today. Still 0.8 over my lowest and 2.2 over my Nov goal. Two more days. Hoping the water weight or something will drop over the next 48 hours and I'll be a happy camper on Thursday post scale. Need to sleep more. And manage stress better. Hard to keep morale up with bleak days back. Trying to exercise not for weight loss but so it boosts my morale.

    Good day today. I didn't have a chance to work out but was very on track with eating, and got enough sleep. Yay.

    As we near the end of the challenge, I've done pretty good with my 8 glasses of water a day, my IF 14+ hours (sometimes 20), my protein goal at 70g, getting in my non-work related exercise.
    But, I will need to up my carbs to a 50-100g net so I can lose fat and still poop. I was hoping to get down to my previous goal weight of 132 but only managed to lose 1/2 a lb or so over the past month. Tomorrow I will take my last measurements and see if much has happened. I did fit into a couple pairs of shorts that I didn't think I'd be in again at this weight - packing for Jamaica. Still, waist is nowhere near the 25" it was at when I was at goal a couple years ago.

    I have been horrible about logging the last 10 days or so and as a result I have probably let my carbs creep up too much (hello nuts, I love you). BUT I am ending the month with a 2 pound loss, so I lost 6 of my 10 pound goal. I knew 10 wasn't realistic since I ended October with a whoosh, so I am happy with the progress I made this month.

    This month held my one planned cheat since starting and I don't have another one planned in the foreseeable future, so here's to a great December! B)

    Well ended the month on plan and drinking plenty of water. Didn't hit my goal of under 200 but I kept losing during thanksgiving so Im not too upset. Started the month at 207 and ended at 201.8

    November goals:

    Under 50 net carbs a day :)
    Workouts minimum 3x a week :neutral:
    Continue fall clean-up of the house :)
    Get outside more :)

    Kind of a crazy week with the holiday. I had 3 dinners to go to. I stayed mostly on plan. I had a taste of corn, butternut squash, mashed potatoes, and potato salad. I fit them into my carbs though. I only managed to exercise once. I'm having an allergic reaction to something and was advised to quit my RA meds and see if that was the culprit so I've felt pretty craptastic this week. I did get outside for a hike and to take the baby to a Christmas event w/ lights and a outdoor carriage ride. I cleaned the living room up and put up a Christmas tree this weekend.

    Well, Nov isn't over till tomorrow morning cause I'm still hoping to be closer to my nov goal by tomorrow. It's been hard looking at the scale everyday this past week with now south movement but up and down 1-2 pounds that I had already lost. I didn't sleep well at all and I may have been too active the past few days. Hard to feel positive on this day. Trying music and light therapy right now and walked under the rain for a bit but sleeping four hours leaves little room for morale. I'm thinking cheese, this is mostly all that cheese in fathead pizza is stalling my progress and I'm wondering if almond flour is doing the same. Also too much stomach issues with this new low carb tomato sauce I've been using. I need to get less food focused in December. Simpler might be better. And I won't weigh myself everyday. Hoping I can weigh myself only once a week cause this is crazy how much time I spend calculating percentages of everything every morning. I'll be a happy gal if I see 198.4 tomorrow. Overall though this forum has kept me going and sticking to low carb and keto despite way less progress than I was hoping for.

    Light therapy is great for getting ready for morning fasted cardio...who wants to wake up from a cold rainy day?

    :) I prepare and have my coffee and so on while I'm in front of it.
