Like I said, it's not what I wanted -but I really think a LOT of that comes from not being particularly low carb going into this so it's taking me a long time to hit ketosis...that's why I think I'm going to extend it an extra day - if I'm doing all the work to be IN ketosis might as well take advantage of it for a lil while longer

He's SO cute...he was wailing on the phone with my Utah broker...he was like "OH OH! I hear the kitten! HI BUBS!!!" lmao - I love my folks

@volgirl1322

"BUT I'M HELPING, MAMA!!!"

LMAO that's sorta my thought - I mean, as of right now it's WAY less effective then my normal schedule, but again that might be because I'm just barely into ketosis...I'm hoping these next few days I'll see the REAL drops

LMAO sometimes he pulls me away, but the beauty of my new position is that I can stop and give him the attention his lil cute butt deserves WHENEVER he demands it

At least your fur baby leaves the laptop ALONE! Bubs would be ON the keyboard at all times if I let him

In other news, I re-weighed just for funsies - down to 153.7! We're GETTING THERE!

I will get to the 140s by EOW if it kills me

Happy Thursdayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

Weigh in this morning - 152.4

Slowly but surely we're getting there - that's 2.4 pounds down from yest morning weigh in. 1.3 down from late day weigh in. That DOES solidify my theory that if I keep the 2.5ish losses up that I'll hit goal if I go through Friday.

Ya know...the first day kinda sucked...I was trying to eat eggs in a form that I just don't really enjoy that much...now that I've figured out what I like and what I don't it's REALLY easy. Now the habit in me really wants Friday to be an eat out day...if I give in and do that, meh so be it, but I'd really like to see where a full 5 days gets me. We'll see if I get through it LOL. Even so, I should see around 150 even tomorrow morning if the pattern holds up.

The cheesecake turned out beautifully:


I had 1 piece of this one...I have 3 left, and 1 of the old one so I"ll have 2 tonight and 2 tomorrow as long as I'm egg fasting still. The ice cream was too high cal and labor intensive to be worth it.

Summary of food - 3 eggs worth of egg salad with 2 stalks celery, 2 pieces scallion egg muffin with extra sharp cheddar, 1 piece cheesecake, 1.5 servings ice cream. Had well over a gallon of water so that helps

Cals - 1944
Def - (101)

Here's how the egg muffins turned out:



This picture is only 1 piece, but I ended up having 2.

Onward and downward! LOL

Here's a cute Bubsy selfie

Thanks boo! Cheesecake is 8 oz cream cheese, 2 tbsps butter, 3 eggs, 4+tbsps SF flavored syrup (I used like 6-7 tbsps SF S'mores cause I like the extra flavor) and 1/3 cup splenda - melt the butter and cream cheese a lil in the microwave, add the syrup and blend, add the eggs and blend LOTS, pour into greased pan and bake on 350 for 20 mins ish

EASY PEEZY! Makes 4 servings and here's the specs:

I'd suggest making it earlier rather later so it can chill - I think it's best semi-frozen

Thanks dear!

Ok it's Friday - 4 days of egg fast without even one lil cheat, NOT. ONE.

Still 152.4

Total weight loss - 4.7 pounds

NOW, Donna lost 4 which seems like less BUT IT'S NOT! Because she lost 4 "real" pounds...all I did was lose the freakin' water weight....this is higher than my EOW weigh in last week. Plus I feel really bloated again today, which at this point I'm guessing is from the GROSS LACK OF FIBER in this fast

So while the food was good, I have cemented that low carb/keto does NOT work for me *shrug* - it wasn't miserable so I refuse to be salty about it, but now I'mma have to be very careful this weekend not to go way over TDEE, AND I'm going to have to have a true loss week next week, and do mini fasts all week and maybe even a full fast Thurs. *sad face* I really wanted this to work, but it wasn't in the cards for me.

SO back to OMAD. I'm having Culver's tonight...shockingly Culver's WITH my crack ranch AND my Halo Top for less cals than my sad lil food on egg fast. Yeah no thank you...not for me. Plus I DESPERATELY miss fruits and veggies. Nah, just.......nah. TO EACH THEIR OWN THOUGH! LOL

OK ONWARDS!

No pictures today so sorry for the bland post LOL but the experiment is complete!

Well the problem is it WASN'T a loss - it was actually a half pound GAIN - not cool. Fun to experiment but I'd much rather gain weight by eating what I want LOL

I'm going to try to keep it to at TDEE OMAD this weekend so that I don't gain anymore, and can get down another 4-5 pounds next week to 148ish
