Hey everyone!! Who's ready for our FIRST May weigh-in?!

Okay, Not me, not yet. LOL
I DO however have another NSV. As a result of the changes I've made in my food & lifestyle choices, my kids are making better choices as well. I've always been very conscious of how I feed my kids. They're all healthy kids who love to eat the fruits & veggies and are in great shape. I've never kidded myself though. I know plenty of kids who are healthy, just to reach adolescence or adulthood and they don't know how to live a truly healthy lifestyle so they become unhealthy and pack on the lbs.

My kids are opting for fresh food instead of packaged crap. They're asking for veggies & fish/seafood at meals and they're happily going for walks with me. I couldn't ask for a better NSV. I get to lead them with my actions. What a WIN!!

Spreadsheet is updated and ready for Sunday! I'm looking forward to more NSV posts!

That's a wonderful NSV! I'm so happy for you and your family!

And thank you for maintaining our spreadsheet! ^_^

NSV for today:

I wore a belt! My jeans have become so baggy that I knew if I wanted to wear my 'fat pants' I'd HAVE to wear a belt. So I did, and it didn't hurt.

AND

I could do it to one more ring smaller than where it was used to sitting at (you know, where it's all dented in because that hole was used so much). ^_^

I love it!!! I need a nice belt in my life. Something with a big buckle that draws attention to me and says, "this chick is SASSY!"

i gained a little bit of bodyfat since last month, close to 13%. but i went down to 2200 kcal/day and goal is still 180 pounds at 10% BF until end of june

There are so many NSV since starting Keto 2 months ago. I think the most significant is the mental/emotional effect eliminating carbs has had on my life, I'm happier and more even. My husband seems more responsive to me and I believe eating a HFLC diet has smoothed over some rough edges in my disposition previously created by the spikes and falls of sugar and bread. I feel a sense of accomplishment, joy, and steadiness without the manic, gung-ho, and ultimately unsustainable rush I previously experienced when doing juice cleanses or trying to eat a raw food diet all in the hopes of losing weight. I grew up in the era of Anti-Fat. Eggs were the enemy and fat free foods such as bagels, pretzels, bran muffins, and rice were the smart food choices. Margarine was the answer to butter, salt was to be avoided, and artificial chemical sweeteners came in all colors that may or may not cause cancer. There was a little deprogramming I had to go through in the beginning of this Keto adventure, but not much. I knew bread, pasta, and rice were causing problems. My friends initially asked, "How long are you doing this for?" After 2 weeks of Keto my response was an easy, "Forever."

I have had a couple of NSV's this week. The first, strangely enough, happened in the shower. I was rinsing and suddenly was wondering what happened because 1/2 my butt had disappeared. It was a startling revelation regarding my body shape changing.

Sunday 5/6: 225.5 (+.5)
Sunday 5/13:

I moved the wrong direction this week due to some choices which I knew would have a negative result. Today is a new day.
