    6/4:

    So far not bad.
    No stress eating.
    Lost 1 pound (toward the five I want for the month).
    Carbs under 30: not so good. But probably under net 30, so I'll take it.

    My June goals:
    Lose 9 lbs (currently at 249, so would be great to get back to 240)
    Work out at least 3.5 hours a week (average of 30 minutes per day)

    I work every Monday (casual/part-time) so that if often my no exercise day. Net carbs were a bit higher than they usually are, but was mostly all high fiber vegetables.

    So far 26706 steps for the week, work cut out for me to reach 45k end of Thurs.
    Having tuna and chicken this week along with an Asian salad on the menu.
    Almost 6 hours of gardening/shoveling mulch over the weekend plus a quick bike ride. Better weather for the next 3 days will get me out of the house and more active.
    Spin class Thursday to top it off.

    Today’s activities were good and I stayed within my calorie limit. I did snack after dinner but I made sure it was low carb and limited the amount. Could I have done without? Sure. I skipped Starbucks today so considered this a small victory. Got my 16:8 in as well.

    I've upped my carbs to about 35, so its easier to hit for the day. I can have a glass of wine or two and still hit my goal. More importantly I'm still staying in ketosis with the new limits. My blood sugar readings have come down over the past few months and are looking great too, and I think my muscles are now fat adapted. So the extra carbs seem to be a good addition and really make this a more livable way of eating and not just a 'diet'.

    Late to the Party.

    Goal= lose 10 lbs with no excersize

    Stay under 20g carbs each day

    My goal is to lose the first 50 lbs with having zero excersize just to see if it can be done on strictly diet. Once I hit 250 I will begin to excersize starting with 2 days the first week, second week 3 3rd week 4 4th week 5 and maintain that until I lose another 50. I am so far down 34 lbs, I have 16 lbs to go until 250.

    6/5

    Calories :)
    Net carbs :):)
    Exercise :)

    Net carbs were at 17g yesterday, very good for me. I have been alternating a bit, one day lower (like yesterday) and some days in the 30g range. The only real difference that give me in my days is a 1/2 bagel in the morning. It works for me!
    Got in a pretty good upper body strength workout and then a half hour of yoga.

    just watched the fathead pizza video posted here, the one with the almond flour. Looks good, I think I may give it a try. I have. Been having a keto English muffin in the morning with cream cheese on it. They are pretty good and keep me satisfied.

    Logging, a dog walk, 20 minutes of cardio and weight lifting today. I had a terrible sugar craving this afternoon, headed for the candy bowl and diverted myself to a meeting early. I snacked a bit before dinner but have stayed under calorie goals. Will try and up my protein tomorrow to help feel more satisfied.

    I didn't really feel like cooking, but the shrimp tacos were worth it.

    Exercise, logging and fasting all good today. I waited too late to eat dinner and ended up snacking on nuts late. I’m finding salmon and shrimp do not keep me full enough so I need to figure out what I can add to fix the issue.

    Salmon and shrimp are both lean. Are you getting enough fat? Butter, nuts, etc

    jogged / walked 6k. I guess my muscles are not yet fat adapted. My legs felt like lead today.

    Slid into the low carb WOE fairly easily this time. It's been easy to stay on track. About a month in and now starting to see the pounds dropping off: a couple tenths yesterday, a half today. It feels so right. Can you hear the relief?
