    2/7: Carbs were good. Forever at the top end of my maintenance range. Ugh. It's not over so we'll call that good. I did get up early and did my strength training workout. I took my collagen in my morning coffee. I did not get in a household chore.

    I've had a pretty tight first week of February... Not got to the gym as much as I would have liked, but I have been doing some sort of activity (dancing or playing the drums) when I haven't been able to go so I'm still counting it as exercise! My carbs have been good all week - less than 10g daily - and I've been working on my electrolyte balance and tweaking my supplements to make sure I'm getting what I need from this WOE. I'm still losing weight and I'm on schedule to hit my goals of losing 60lb by the Summer - 22lb down, only 38lb to go!

    I just want to be consistent eating a Lchf diet! It's hard as a beginner!

    It can be. But what will serve you best is stacking the deck in your favor and creating habits and routines. It's making a planned-out route that all you must do is follow. Over time, those habits are made and the momentum carries you through uncertain situations. Get in the habit of pre-planning for everything food related. Always keep on-plan foods available on-hand. Those will help you most. And do your best to say NO when you need to to preserve that consistency. Is the food going to get you where you want to be? No? Then stay away from it.

    ^^^yeah, like my already telling myself NO to the fresh strawberry cream cheese pie in my fridge that my husband and sons will eat tonight. Full bore sugar. I felt guilty making it, but that's what they requested, so....Happy Valentine's Day to them.

    I hear you on this... my wife made 3 batches of chocolate chip cookie dough on Sunday and spent Monday afternoon baking cookies so that she, our daughter, our grandson and my co-workers would all have cookies to snack on today. I looked at the cookies last night and was only tempted for a second or two - I grabbed cheese out of the fridge and had that instead.

    I'm in! I want to rely less on my keto crutches - artificial sweetener and salami - and focus more on better nutritional choices. If that means a bit more fruit, so be it.

    But I'm keeping Torani in my coffee in the morning (for now). Let's not go crazy here.

    Is Torani good just alone with black coffee as a substitute for creamer?

    Working on that 10 min mile: ran longer with good form and rhythmic breathing. Did walk and averaged less speed but had much better form and a better run over all. Definitely felt improvement. Woot!

    Well it's not creamer, but it tastes sweet so if you musts haves coffee (like I do) but don't want the calories, then it tastes fine.
