Here's our challenge:
We're in the short month. 28 days. Perfect for what I call a "sprint." Go ALL OUT on your goals, hardcore, for 28 days. No screw-ups!
You could make sure your electrolyte levels are better.
Or commit to more exercise.
Or decide to forgo a bad habit you KNOW is hampering your health from being what it could.
Or start a good habit you've been putting off.
Or simply continue to focus on whatever health-conscious New Year's Resolution you made for last month.
Or make sure your logging is locked in more tightly.
Do whatever you have to do. And don't F-up!
But if you do? Hey, we're here for you. To tell you to get back on dat wagon, yo!

Last week.
RAWWWWWR! Kill it!2 -
Last week was a rough one for me. My grandma (who is essentially my mom and deemed terminal) was back in the hospital...and true to my nature, I had wine and carbage one night. BUT...the next day I was barely hungry at all and unintentionally fasted for the day, with just a small, carb appropriate meal for dinner. I paid the price with bloating and a 5lbs gain...which defeated another goal I had of not weighing until March 1st.
So I'm not proud of the way I handled my emotions, but I am proud that I didn't let anything trickle into the next day and got right back on track.2 -
In! I need to tighten up my logging and drink more water. I'm really tired right now so this is about all I can manage at the moment.

Be kind to yourself and soldier on! Sounds like you had a rough week...2 -
This month went by too fast! I am over my weekend slipup and now just 6 more days until the end of the month.
CW: 167.5
February goal: 162.5, not sure I can make that!
Need to drink more water and stick to plan.
I did finish reading the books that I targeted, so more data and information to fuel me going forward.

Still being mega strict on my diet and logging everything each day. Still not getting to the gym as much as I'd like, but making sure that I do something every day, even if it's just the 20 minute routine I do as soon as I get up. I'm calling it another no F-ups week!6

Last week before my 225 by 2/25 goal, I weighed myself yesterday and was 229.5, hoping to get close to goal by Saturday! I am working out at least once each day and logging in my food, wish me luck

Absolutely 100% understandable. The day I got the call mom had passed on hospice, even though I knew it was coming, I ate dem carbs including 2 pints of chocolate chip ice cream. But the next day I started out on-plan. I realized, like you did, that further carb-abuse didn't fix anything.
Congrats on getting right back to business, despite your sorrow.

Calories still at maintenance. Yesterday I did the 7-minute Scientific workout with the kiddos and only walked 30 min. Today I did Hero 90. One round of HIIT (20 min) and that's it.
My eyes are still so pissed. But better enough for me to drive to my appt tomorrow. I'm trying not to be anxious. I'm afraid I might snap, chew his face off, and hairflip. I'm just sayin'.

Good day today.
Did C25K Week 6 Day 1, and came in on target for calories and carbs.
Weight has gone back down; back within goal range today so yay.
Keto SW: 151
CW: 132.8
Goal range for maintenance: 130-1332 -
Oh and NSV's for both DH and me today: We both needed new pants since we had bagginess issues. I bought dress pants for work in a size 6!! (I was lucky to get down to an 8 a couple years ago since I hadn't been that size in 16 years) And DH has gone from a 38 waist to a 33 waist since August, so he just bought two new pairs of jeans since his new 34's were already getting loose.4

Goal: Walk 80 miles in February, 3.5 mph or greater.
44 miles completed as of 2/20/17
6 miles today. 6.02 actually. 3.6 mph average. Took me 100 minutes.
It really would be easier to jump in the car and drive to the store but I've been making these grocery store walks for so long (though not a far as recently) it seems kind of silly to drive sometimes. I have the time. Not sure I'll hit 30 miles in the next 6 days. We'll see.

I'm doing great on plan, logging everything, working out like a beast, ...but the scale is not showing it. Think I'll fall a few pounds short of February goal. Then again, maybe I'm just holding on too tightly & it'll all wash away next week. A girls gotta hope...
One downer was I took the kids to dinner tonight, Ledo's pizza, which was risky for me but my seven year old had gotten a free pizza for the 'character' award at school so I needed to celebrate it. I did awesome & stayed keto with wings (old bay) and an Italian salad. All was good until I went to log & holy smokes, each wing was 190 calories!! At six, that just blew my day. Grrrr
That said, my first reaction was oh well, I blew it, and there's Hagaan das bars in the fridge, might as well. I smacked that evil twin right down though, and came and chatted with you fine folk. Little by little...3 -

Glad your eyes are a little better! I know you're anxious, but we are all here for you! Your tenacity in keeping up with your workouts is inspiring.

Way to go!!! That's the right way to grow out of your pants!
How are you liking C25K? I just finished up week 2 and am holding my breath for the crash and burn. I've never been able to run.

Yummm, Ledo's.....love their pizza. You did well sticking to wings, even with the calories. Great job on ice cream avoidance!0 -

Thanks.
I just refuse to lay down and cry and let the mean ol' universe win.
Dr. Nerd had a student with him. She was pretty awesome.
He said he was shocked that the bloodwork showed nothing. Gave me pilocarpine, which is supposed to make my body secrete more fluids, as a patch as we continue to search to see whether or not I'm truly seronegative Sjogren's (that means autoimmune but bloodwork isn't picking it up) or it's something else. So crossing the fingers. He ordered the hormone labs, which they drew, but they don't do the cortisol labs in-house so I have to go to the hospital to do that I think. I'll get a call. He says that if the pilocarpine doesn't work and/or the labs don't show anything, I'll probably need a referral to a rheumatologist, because he can't order the bloodwork and prescribe biologics that they use.
I had the craziest electrolyte-fart ever last night. It was the Twilight Zone. Constantly waking due to foot cramps, freezing to death and keto-headache. WTH? I had to get up and guzzle some salt water. I had taken 600mg of mag, plus the mag oil I had to keep using...so flippin' weird, like I said. I'd had ketoade. I don't even know...
Annnnnnyway, I did 20min of Hero 90 yesterday.
Today is "PE" so I'm making the kids do the 7-min workout again, and then I'll take a walk.

Feeling under the weather the past few days, congested and plugged ears. But I made myself go to the gym yesterday anyway. Going again tonight since I did feel better afterwards last night. Just treadmill and elliptical at a slower pace than the weekend though. Don't know how I became such a baby about having a cold, I sailed through chemo for Pete's sake.0

Goal: Walk 80 miles in February, 3.5 mph or greater.
50 miles as of yesterday.
6.2 miles today. 3.78 mph average. 98 minutes.
I've got more energy than sense. I have a blister on my right big toe because about the only time I put on a pair of real shoes is when I walk and these 5-6 mile stints are taking their toll. I might split it up tomorrow and take 2 walks at 3 miles each IN MY FLIP FLOPS. My feet are happy in flip flops but they do slow me down. We'll see. Today's grocery store haul=carrots, celery root, cucumber, tomatoes. Had to hit 2 stores to get in 6 miles.0 -
The scale was nice to me this morning - don't know what I did to deserve it, may just be whoosh time? I hope it sticks!
I have 4 more lbs to get to my February goal, so we'll see what the weekend holds - always tougher to tow the line with the kids all weekend...
I have another tradeshow and trip at the end of next week so hoping to make steady progress and then hold steady for that travel week 3/3 - 3/10, including a weekend at my parents - the danger zone! 2 -
2/22: Carbs and weight good. Got up and did strength training. Did some kitchen cleaning and full litter box change over. Collagen in coffee.
2/23: Today was rough. Found out my uncle had passed away around 2 am and couldn't get back to sleep. That combined with a touch of a cold had me calling in sick. No workout. No housework. I'll get my collagen in before bed. Carbs and weight are in range.0 -

So sorry to hear that! Hope you're feeling better.

I put up a discussion about the March challenge:
http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10520433/march-challenge-ideas/p1?new=1
As far as for me. Night was better but still some waking. I've seen an improvement in dry mouth, I'm sweating a little bit more (bleh), but not a huge change in the eyes so far. We shall see what happens once the med gets in my system better.
Walked for an hour yesterday.
Today I need to do strength work via Hero 90.
I ate way too much yesterday as DH took us out to eat yesterday. I tried a new dish, and it turned out to be a calorie bomb big-time. But today will be appropriate.

Thank you guys for the kind words & support!!0

Things are going extremely slow in the loss department. I hit 186.8, lowest so far and also 30 pound mark since I started here at the very end of August. I'm pretty keto. Had chinese a couple of times, not super healthy but asked them to not add any sugar in the sauce, once eggplant in garlic sauce and last night tofu. I added splenda to the sauce myself to make it more chinesey. And I made my own sugarfree halwa. My metabolism slowed down around 500 cal per day as per tests, they may be off by about 200 cal. still. And not sleeping too well which I'm sure is effecting things. I'm so busy, I just don't have the mental space to log calories, though I know it would help. Kinda disappointed that I'm not getting there with January or Feb goals, as I had a major important goal to be much lower than now for April 6th. I guess I still have six weeks but at this pace I don't know how much progress I'll make.0
