January goals:
1. Avoid the breads like the PLAGUE
2. Watch my calories. It's easy to go over
3. Follow my workout calendar, my muscles have become mush
4. Keep carbs low. While I have a limit set in MFP, I love veggies and want to eat them
5. Salt... I need to consume more of it.
I messed up the date on my last post. It'd been for 1/2 and 1/3. Whoops.
For 1/4!!
1. Almost ordered a pizza. Almost.
2. I was right at the limit
3. I didn't work out. I shall do so today.
4. Nothing terrible for me! I noticed sugar alcohols get recorded, including erythritol and stevia. So I gotta make mental notes when that happens because carbs are actually lower for me.
5. A little under on salt.1 -

7/7
Today is a test for sure. Weekends are my nemesis. So I've planned for low cals during the week so I can do maintenance calories on the weekends. So I can have some of the calorie-bombage, but have a limit.
So I will booze, and I will chocolate, but within reason. Wish me strength and wisdom and for me to stay out of the kitchen after I've had a couple of adult bevs.5 -
For 1/5
Vitamins - yep
Weigh in - yep
Water- yep yep
Planned exercise - treadmill walk
New food/recipe -instant broccoli cheddar soup, carb count wasn't too bad.
Logging- yep
Making my weekly meal plan and grocery list now. Oh and the name of the cookbook my son got me is Keto Restaurant Favorites by Maria Emmerich. I'm planning 7 recipes from the book this week, dinners and sides.
Stay warm everyone!3 -
Good Morning!!!!
Back on track!!! Yesterday was a great day!!
1) Stay within daily carb range
2) Drink 64oz+ water daily
3) 6,000+ steps daily
Getting ready to do my workout and then shower and go to church. Bad weather is supposed to be moving in today - snow and freezing rain. Plan for the rest of the day is to sit in front of the fire and watch it come down. Guess we will have a movie marathon!!!
Have a great day everyone!!!

I had a great week but fell apart over the weekend. I ate breakfast both days and both days ended up grazing all day and eating way above calorie level with some carbs thrown in. I have been mostly “fasting” weekdays, I eat from 4-8pm. Much better strategy, and keeps me from the mindless grabbing.1
