    Yesterday was my 62nd day of being keto true. It was not a good keto day! I fell off the keto wagon hard! Crazy thing is I can’t blame keto, I can only blame myself. I wasn’t hungry, I wasn’t craving, I was just weak and I caved. I was exposed to a bunch of NOT KETO FRIENDLY FOOD and I caved.

    What disappoints me most about my behavior is I was even outside of my eating window when I gave in. Then, I not only sampled, I went back for more and different NONE KETO FOODS. This is the type of behavior that has sabotaged many of my previous weight loss efforts.

    In the past I have caved and then quit. Today I am publicly announcing the start of another keto true streak. Although I’m certainly out of ketosis, I’m back on the keto road. I now have a new goal/record of at least 63 keto true days starting with today, Saturday, 10 March. I will mark my calendar for Saturday, 12 May. I would love to be still posting in our May thread on that day.

    I like your plan of marking the calendar, stormy... it gives you something to work towards!
    It happens to all of us at some time or another, it's getting back on plan that counts (and as quickly as possible). Don't worry too much, some people work "carb up" days into their plan on purpose! You may even be pleasantly surprised with a nice loss this week... I've had the scale reward me for a higher carb day before (after the initial water retention disappears)
    Great job getting back to keto so quickly!

    @stormywxs288 It really doesn't matter if you blow it for a day or two, you will gain some water weight but the important thing is that after 62 days on Keto you are fat adapted and so your body will keep on burning fat for it's preferred fuel just so long as you don't go mad for days!

    @stormywxs288 you are not human if you don't cave every once in a while. It happens. And honestly sometimes when you take a day to eat like a happy fat kid, it can help you lose more that week once you are back on track. I had that happen a couple times. It was a pleasant surprise lol. Just get back on the keto wagon and don't look back.
    Now that I got my health and body in order. It's time to get my house in order! We started spring cleaning today. Filled the hubs truck with junk and took it to the dump. I'm downsizing my body, and the junk in my house lol. I feel like when your house is in order and you feel good about it, it helps keeps you motivated and wanting to keep everything in your life in order including what you eat and how you take care of yourself.

    Whew, didn't think I'd have any real change with all the stress both at home and work this week. But I believe a slight tweak in my macros seems to have helped.

    This is the first week of 2018 I gained weight. I weighed in this morning at 173.0, a 1.0 pound gain for the week. There are several reasons for my gain this week: First, I ate too many calories and too much protein ALL WEEK. My wife was “Dog Sitting” for one of my kid’s family and left me “Home Alone” all week. Evidently, I require adult supervision, because I didn’t behave well in her absence.

    Second, I had a total keto melt down one night while I was home alone. Outside of my eating window I had an hour of temporary insanity. I ate everything NON-KETO in the house. I ate enough to knock me out of ketosis for a week. I’m ok now though. I got it out of my system! I’ve set a goal to extend my current keto true streak (1 Day) to a new personal record (PR) streak.

    I‘m confident I can set a new PR streak. I’m not hungry, I don’t crave, I like eating in a short window and I reallly like intermittent fasting. I also love the way I feel. My joints, my energy, and my brain are all functioning better. So why do I sabotage my efforts? I’ve been workin on that one for 68 years now.

    Feeling great but the scale isn't cooperating as much as I'd like. I'm thinking too much social drinking isn't helping.

    I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!! Did you miss me?

    I accept this sloth-like movement downward, but I don't have to love it right now. I'm telling you this because eventually EVERYONE feels frustration and that's when we're most likely to quit. I hate that I've quit on myself before. There, I said it!! PHEW!

    I for one missed you! I look forward to your insightful remarks. This is only my 10th week in keto and I sabotaged my efforts last week partially because I was anticipating glacier like weight loss movement coming. So, your comments today hit me between the eyes. I'm with you and I won't quit either. Thanks for your support and welcome back to spring - I hope.

    I'm definitely not hitting that 8.4lb goal. Heck, at this point I'll be lucky to crack 5lbs. I've decided to hunker down and get back to basics. No more lazy keto... apparently "if it fits your macros" style isn't working for me!
