This group challenge has really been helping me through the fluctuations. I had a really bad tendency to get frustrated and think that I'll never get there. Definitely getting stronger so the slow pace is expected. But I have been a bit lazy on my diet. If I want this I'm the only one who can do it for me.

Day/Weight/Comment

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28: 120.5 lbs. yesterday was my cheat day. This is what the cheat day did to my hardworking: gained 1 lb.
01/29: 121.4 lbs. hmm... I have done so well last round. Then I started a cheat day on last Saturday. I only had moderate carbs, but the damage is big. So, cheat day won’t work? Here is from Mr. Google: Carbs break up keto Cheating Affects Your Fat Adaptation. Your body has to make changes, such as altering specific hormones and increasing enzyme production, to optimize conditions for burning fat as fuel on a ketogenic diet. Having cheat meals regularly can prevent your body from continuing this process long enough to stay in ketosis.
01/30: 120.3 lbs... try to get back to ketosis!
01/31: 119.8. Had one of the best Zumba class with a crazy instructor. Lol she inspired me to move fast, fast, and faster! Only 7 days left. Heading to the goal!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 = 215.2. Weekends, you make this challenging. Ate out twice yesterday, at places I love. Also got a little loose with 3 cookies during a movie, but overall nothing was disastrous. I used to regularly gain 3-4 lbs from Friday night to Monday morning, then spend the week getting back down to where I started. A 1.2 lb bump one day is no big deal, particularly when I am on-track for a good day today.

01/29 = 214.6. Gaining only 0.6 lbs over the weekend is a victory. I'm realizing how my issues with eating are an addiction. I'm a psychologist, and much of that work has been treating substance use disorders. One of the things I tell my patients is that I never expect that they will never use again. Instead, I ask them to change their expectations. Work on increasing the length of time between "relapses," and recognize that those longer periods are a sign of success. Equally important is the attitude one takes toward relapse. People often get down/mad/depressed after having a "slip" or "relapse." When a relapse happens, the shorter it is, the better, and the less intense it is, the better. One day of 12,500 calories would be an intense relapse. Three months of leaving MFP and going back to "normal" might be considered a long relapse. Catch yourself as quick as you can when you feel off-track. Realize that any moment is an opportunity to get right back on-track, and be kind to yourself. This is what I'm thinking to myself (or at least trying to) instead of beating myself up at any moment. When I remember to do this, it helps me. Basketball tonight, so I'm excited.

01/30 = 215.2. Meh. How do you non-judgmentally call yourself out for being in denial? Here goes! Somehow I thought a plate full of carne asada and carnitas for lunch (with a slice of bread... No tortillas) was not going to be a problem for me on basketball night. I never gain weight on a basketball night, but even though it was lots of protein, there was likely also tons of salt and fat. I wanted to avoid the scale this morning; on some level I knew. I have to acknowledge that I'm a little disappointed that I didn't think this through a little better. Going to try to stay focused and positive.

01/31 = 212.8. This is why I try not to get too excited or upset at whatever the scale tells me: because I get upset for nothing. When I do what I am doing (tracking everything, trying to eat healthier, exercising regularly, being accountable), my weight has always trended in the right direction. Everything I write after this bold is what I wrote last night, when I was reflecting on that day, still frustrated from the day before. For transparency’s/accountability’s sake I’m going to keep it in this post. Today was better, but still feeling a little “loose” (unfocused). Stayed within my calorie goal, kept my sodium way down. Struggled a bit with sweets today, particularly Trader Joe’s coconut strips – they’re delicious. I need to measure things and mindfully portion whenever I can; my “slips” almost always occur when I “miss” these opportunities. This is my self-sabotage. It’s mostly under control, but I really want to stay on top of it. I keep having this idea, and I wonder if it will work. Instead of snacking after dinner, if I’m feeling hungry, I want to drink a protein shake. I’m going to try to make that idea happen.
