Another good keto day under my belt. Not much loss, but I'm not fooled. It will happen if I keep doing the right thing.5

Quick update...
<20g net carbs daily - close, I've been hovering around 23ish, but lots of greens and some yogurt, so not worrying about it
Reigning in the calories - this has been fine, although the trainer said I should be eating a minimum of 200kcals more daily (when I did that I maintained, so not jumping on that bandwagon just yet)
Exercise - no plan yet, so planning on doing nothing until I get a plan (epic failure)
100oz water/daily - hanging my head in shame... lol!1 -
That all aside, my Thanksgiving weight is finally gone and I've been hovering at a lower weight than I've been in months! Imagine if I drank my water and moved my mass...4

12/1-12/5
80 oz water - Nope
Daily vitamins - Nope
50-60 carbs/day - Yes
1400 cal or less/day - Yes
Be more active, make gym plans with others! - Yes and no
I was on vacation from work so out of my routine. As a result water and vitamins effort bit the dust. The upside was I was active and very busy so I barely ate. Most days were coffee, a handful of nuts and dinner. I did not however, get to the gym with or without a friend. I'm back to work today.
I discovered something weird for me. With a lack of meal planning and pre-logging my food this week, I found myself not thinking about food and actually forgetting to eat breakfast and lunch. Wondering if I should continue to plan but log at the end of the day instead.1 -
No loss again! Ugg. I know I've been doing
The right thing...just going to have to tough it out!!1 -
Good on all fronts except water intake and controlling nut binging. Feeling positive about the marathon this weekend!1

I'm not able to control nut binges. They always get me triggered.1

Day 2 for me and I'm feeling really motivated!3 -
Well the first week is over and I'm still wishy washy on what goals I'm going to set. lol. I've been having a stressful time lately and this time of year keeps me down so I'll keep it simple.
*make an effort to exercise in some way a 2-3 days a week
*mainly keep under 50 carbs...holiday treats here and there but NOT nightly
*try to get outside a bit most days
*make an effort to communicate with friends to improve mood
So far this week not too bad though my husband surprised me with the world's best eggnog last night. I tried to keep the serving crazy small though and the rest of the day was nearly carbless so it was ok! LOL1 -
Small blip in carbs today. Not too bad, but I have to remember to be strong when the numbers on the scale don't do what I think they should.
Sometimes I let frustration cloud my long term judgment.
I'll do better tomorrow.1 -

Plan for December:
Maintain 20g or less of carbs through Dec. 10th. check check... net carbs at least.
Stay within calorie goal - 1385 Nope
Meet sodium and magnesium goals check
Drink more water - 2 liters minimum I have tried so hard to do this but am struggling with water intake
Add 20 new low-carb/keto recipes to my personal keto recipe bookfound a couple good recipes haven't tried them yet
Maintain weight. Loss is always nice but I'll settle for maintenance this year check
11,000 steps daily nope, but I'll make up for it tomorrow. EEK! TOMORROW!
stretch two times daily half-way there.... failure on remembering to stretch and it's going to bite me in the race because of it
PT exercises DAILY (no pain anymore but no strength due to shoulder surgery) decided to postpone this until after the race, why cause me more pain
So my successful December is half-way successful so far but I'm good with it. When I finish the race tomorrow I'll be flying high and not care.... and probably eat a piece of cake as a reward (my daughter's birthday).
