    Did well last week with the no phone after bedtime goal. Got some good runs in. So success. This week I need to focus on getting back on track after a weekend of fun. No serious indulgences but no exercise and more alcohol than is really necessary. :sunglasses:

    For 3/5
    Coconut oil yes
    Activity-2 hours of bowling (counting that as my strength training as well)
    Plank-a few seconds longer

    Finally feeling almost over this cold. Made a tuna casserole with cauliflower last night, turned out pretty tasty.

    Made it though one week of workouts! So excited and I can even climb stars without workout afterburn ;) tried two new keto recipes from an actual keto book (vs internet). Looking forward to week two!

    So for today. 2 out of 3
    64 oz of water finished at around 80 plus oz
    Workout: total bust. The day just slipped away from me. Running errands and studying for tests. Plus, I think my body needed to break, it's cold rainy and my plantar fasciitis is flaring up pretty badly.

    Stay under a 100 carbs I'm under without looking at my macros I think I'm around 70. Someone recommend peanut butter on another thread to help get my calories up and I went a little off the rails there. Mmmmm peanut butter. Fresh ground honey nut peanut butter the best.

    Past few days have been very rough. Yes, I drank my water and mostly finished my eating by midnight (a couple times it was 1 AM just because of how my patrol was running) but I am fighting a tummy flu bug... not the good kind you lose weight with either, lol. Just the crampy gut wrenching ache and then bloat after eating ANYTHING. I'd just fast but my gut is rumbling and aching even empty, and I feel so hungry at my usual eating time that I think every day that somehow it will be different.
    And it isn't... (yet)

    ignore the cigarette... I don't smoke. But this pic is how I feel lately.

    Day 6 was a success. I did Stronglift workout in the morning and went for my walk. I did my evening Kettlebell workout. I hit my macros and stayed under 30 g carbs. I was active during the day and moved every hour. The science of CICO simply doesn't work when your body hits a plateau! Frustrating!

    I've had an up and down first week... Kept macros and carbs good and have continued to lose weight, but have been kept away from the gym and a lot of my exercise in general by a bacterial chest infection AND a viral infection at the same time... Got antibiotics for the chest, but am just going to have to power through the swollen glands, sore throat and head cold...

    Oh jeez. Are you sure you shouldn't be focusing on resting and healing?? Working out can wait! I'm sorry your sick.

    So yesterday ended up higher favorite, but I don't care, cause I'm a lady whose got some special lady time coming. -_-

    But I've been active, I've been keeping my carbs low, no sugar, no wheat.

    And I'm losing again. For the next week it'll keep up at this rate, then back to the ol two pounds up, three pounds down, turn around and doe si doe. Perfectly typical for all of my loss.

    Have a great day!

    Just joining in. I am down 9.5# since I started 5 weeks ago, but am stalled. Have done much reading and know this is to be expected. My goal is to push through this plateau this month. I am happy about exercise progress: have gone from 2 mi walk that left me uber tired, to walking 4 miles (or bike ride of 18 on the weekend!) I am sure I have gained some muscle and my clothes fit much better. I started 5:2 fasting 3 weeks ago and find that the best fit for me eating-plan-wise. I don't obsess about calories on non-fast days, but I have cut waaaay back on wine. Definitely sleeping better.

    3/6 check in:

    logged - yes
    carbs - no
    water - no
    sleep - almost 8 hours! This is huge for me! Granted, Nyquil contributed because I can't kick this cold, but man I slept good.

    Day 7.
    Lost my daily checkin streak already; but i nailed 5 out of 7 days: 30 minutes assorted activity.
    Hope to return to the daily log in here this upcoming week.

    While that is pretty good for this die hard couch potato...for this goal, I really am shooting for a daily 30 minutes. Its not alot, but i want to firmly entrench this as a reasonable doable habit.
    Hoping for 7 of 7 days next week..logged daily!
