@KateNkognito Man...I saw the post about graduating and then saw the cheesy bread and everything else vanished from my brain! ...congratulations on that, huge accomplishment. Pressure's off now hopefully ...now for some rest and relaxation...hopefully.
@mamainthekitchen OK, I'm a dummy... mama in the KITCHEN...say it out loud now. You're on the next level...you got game! Butter tarts with maple syrup..."real"..."Canadian"...my mouth is watering. Your grandma, a full century...and your parents, y'all need to figure out what that is and bottle it. The t-shirt
...funny, and sad at the same time. My wife is the same, returning the shirt is part of the re-purchase...even during the holidays when customer service lines are crazy. I'm like...find somebody else to give the shirt to. 
@Meghan509 Weather sucks, but a nice long break for the holidays...that's gotta be nice. That salad sounds killer; my wife misses Sicily, she talks about it daily...and the food. I'm to the point, I'm like...screw Sicily, lol...I'm tired of hearing about how magical her life/meals have been while I was back here eating tuna on crackers. If you need a roommate, she's your gal. The sauce would further seal the deal. But seriously, we miss pasta too (see mac), and your sauce...yum.
I've come to the realization that my sub-conscious must be purely evil...I'm sitting here asking everyone to talk about their best recipe...the ones they crave the most...the ones we usually go to for comfort...and we're on a fitness sit...in a group dedicated to fasting. I'm so twisted!
Enjoy

@orlcam, you crack me up!!
@mamainthekitchen, seriously, come to my house! I need your organizing services! LOL
@Meghan509, enjoy the time off!
Three more alarms for me. I will seriously need the New Year reset. I have been SO off the wagon lately. Will hop back on when school is out and family has left. I am going to schedule an appointment with my chiropractor, who is also a nutritionist, to figure some stuff out and make a plan. I have some things going on that are complicating weight loss. Have a great rest of the week!2 -
Hysterical laughter over here Orlcam!!!
I just hope those genes carried through!! 87 yr old parents vacay in Barbados each year and grandma ate one apple everyday plus put her feet up after lunch!! No kidding people... she’d either lie down for 20 mins or prop her feet up while reclining and just rest!! EVERY DAY!!! Her mother made her eat an apple everyday and she never stopped! So if she started at age 5 that’s well over 34,000 apples!!!! Can you imagine??
If butter tarts would survive a mailing i’d mail you all some... the maple syrup is the bomb!!
Kate I’m sure that all your school work and the balancing act of juggling your boys & all that comes with being a mom takes a huge toll on your system.... I hope your dr tells you to sit and relax in a hot tub and get a massage then sleep for a week!!! Good luck I hope you feel better!!
I liked your question Orlcam, it’s good to shake things up again, I feel we’re all in the same mood lately... but Meghan is going strong!! And now I’m in the mood for her Mediterranean salad!! Oh yum!
I returned the shirt today, sales staff and 2 customers had quite the laugh at my expense... all good, it is kinda funny!
Chores tomorrow and I’ve hard boiled a couple of eggs to tie me over until dinner!!! Woohoo... k, that’s not that exciting, but I’m thrilled I’ve planned ahead!
Goodnight!!😘0 -
Good morning all!
Hello from er, rainy Florida! Traveled down yesterday from the NY area. Flight was delayed and got in much later than expected but hey we made it safe! Managed to grab a pretty nice rental car for us. My company offers discounts via National and Enterprise. Nabbed a fly white convertable Camero! Whoot!
You guys always crack me up around here! LOL Sounds like you are doing well.
See you real soon!

Woohoo Meghan I can see it now and you look fabulous cruisin’ with the top down!!!! Haha..... except the rain part! Hope that weather cooperates!!
I’ve been off the wagon this week! Did great with my pre planned boiled eggs then dinner... except for the entire box of fudge I had... feeling quite toxic now and in need of an intervention at the moment!! The husband is also starting to get annoyed with all those hallmark movies I’m watching on the ‘other’ tv.... he has hockey to watch so I figure this is a win win... but apparently no one is winning here. Tried to explain they’re on until Christmas... one more week!!
Off to slice some ginger for my hot water - maybe it’ll help cut the sugar in my system! There goes my neighbor’s gift!!
Hope all is well with you people!!
It’s Friday! Be good!!1 -
What? Are you not entertained? ...I thought I was getting paid for this.
Quick stop in...everyone getting a little R&R I see. Mama and Meghan getting started early...nice discipline. Kate, I'm with you...lots of family things from here to 2020. Just got back from shopping; doing oyster dressing and double size mac&cheese Sunday, rib-eye roast and mac & cheese for Christmas eve, and ham and double mac & cheese Christmas day...and I'm sure I'm cooking something Jan 1 also gonna be fun. I currently have 3 lbs butter, 2 dozen eggs, 20+ lbs of cheese, 1/2 gallon oysters, and 25+ lbs of various meats....whoah mama!
Enjoy the weekend, and happy Festivus if I don't see you Monday. 0 -
oh yeah...Camaro...nice.0

Did my shopping today. Cleaning the house tomorrow. People will be in and out for about a week and a half. I am really looking forward to the new year and a fresh start.
@orlcam That is a LOT of food! I am headed to your house! LOL
@Meghan509 I am so jealous of your car and the potential for fabulous weather!
@mamainthekitchen Have a great week! At least you tried, that is way more than I have done lately.
To everyone: Happy-Merry-Everything! I hope you all have had a great year and will have a fabulous new year!1 -

Nice article in USA Today on both types of intermittent fasting...
Goodbye, stressful diets? Intermittent fasting offers health benefits, study says. But it's not for everybody/2 -
Hi Guys!!
Hope you all had a great Christmas Eve and Day celebration! Foods sound awesome!!
Sorry for being MIA the last few days! The weather here has finally been nicer the last couple of days. Been outside a lot, which is nice! Been relaxing, cooking, and spending time with family. Drove over to the west coast of FL on Sunday to see my Dad and that side of the family. Good times. My sister and Step Mom prepared a low carb spread!
Yeah so the Camero didn't stick around for long! It just felt really uncomfortable and it was a tad dirty, so we drove to the airport to see what else they had. Scored a beautiful Jeep Wrangler Sahara Edition, four door, hard top with T tops, in candy apple red, and only 2000 miles! Free XM too. Done and done!
Survived Christmas Eve and Day with lots of Keto Friendly foods! Made a lovely bacon wrapped pork loin on Tuesday and it came out fabulous! Wednesday was a beautiful beef tenderloin that we roasted in the oven. Quite a few different types of green veggies, some red wine and vodka with clubsoda and the holidays are a wrap! Forgot to mention cheese!! LOL
Off to go make some eggs and chill out. SEE YOU GUYS SOON!! 3 -
We had a lovely Christmas. Record warm temperature= all the kids outside playing. Dinner was good and the family time was wonderful. We have more people coming at the end of the week. I like holidays like this. Not a lot of rush and fuss. It almost makes my Grinch/Scrooge heart like Christmas again.
Have a great rest of the week!2 -
Wow, derailing here!!!
Great job Meghan! You’ve got lots of support around you ....how fabulous!!!
Glad to hear you’ve had a wonderful break with your family Kate! You deserve it!
Orlcam thanks for adding that link! And coincidentally our local news had a piece on IF too!!
It’s a sign!!!! from the stars!!!!!! Telling me ( ok YELLING) to get back at it!!!
Feeling like a balloon about to pop!!
Willpower has jumped off a cliff somewhere and I’m free falling after it, I think! How ridiculous that I’m doing nothing about it!! It doesn’t happen on its own... no one is force feeding me! Before I fall asleep here I’m going to make reminders in my phone and see if that helps me..... sigh....2 -
Hi guys!
Got back late last night from Florida. Trip was good. Lost a good 50 degrees by coming back to CT, but still nice to be home!!
Keto WOE is good. Pretty easy to follow, especially when you can bring your own snacks on the plane.
See you soon! Off to the supermarket shortly.3 -
Hey all! I think Eating Season is over. I am going to go in and get on the scale and see what the damage is. I am guessing that a lot of it is going to be water weight since I have had a lot of yummy foods with enough sodium to shame the Dead Sea. I hope you all have a great week this week. I intend to fast tomorrow and maybe Friday.2

Meghan is the champ of the winter season!
Nice job sticking to keto...I think you've locked into this being a way of life. I know we always say it, but you found the mindset to make it happen. Congrats!
Mama and Kate, I'm with you. If I have to eat anymore mac and cheese and ham, bleh. Salt and cheese and carbs and carbs...and carbs. I did OK before Christmas, but 3 family events in 4 days did me in.
This is what I feel like...
In case I miss you all...have a great New Years.

Twice! ...Twice! I’ve just typed out a post and deleted it!
Orlcam that made me laugh out loud!! Omg the dog!!!!! I lovvve that!!
Meghan I’m going to copy your routine, but first, I’m gonna need a supportive boyfriend, think my husband will mind??
Kate, I feel ya on the sodium!
Orlcam all that Mac & cheese makes me feel like I also had some! I’m dreaming it was delish!
Daughters moving day tomorrow... I’ll be helping for the next 2 days, then I’m sleeping and taking a day off!! Then it’ll be go time, set the Zero app, measure foods and get back to 5:2....
Peace out 2019!!
Happy New Year people!!!!
Yay... New Years banner! Thx orlcam0 -

Hi gang!
Aww shucks! Thanks for all the nice comments.
Made my final weigh in this morning, for 2019 and I am down 2 lbs! Brings me to approximately 32 lbs down on keto! Yup, between doing an IF schedule of eating during the 1pm to 9pm window and Keto WOE is working for me. BF is also down three pounds, and we have the same total loss amount. Creepy! LOL
Got all unpacked and a *kitten* load of laundry done over the last few days. Now to put it all away. Sigh.
Going to be heading to friends for NYE tonight. We pretty much hang with them every New Year's. Bringing an antipasto platter with cheese, salami, and olives. Got to make sure we have Keto Friendly foods to eat! Planning to have some vodka and club soda with a toast of champagne at midnight.
Planning to pop in here tomorrow to start the new January 2020 *screams* thread. Feel free to start if you pop in before me!
Here's to an awesome 2020! Let's rock it! 2 -
Morning, all!
I agree. Meghan wins the award for 2019! Congratulations on the loss! You are an inspiration.
Orlcam, I love the dog! And the banner is great, too! I am SO done with all of the holiday food. I am looking forward to salads, much less sodium, and fewer carbs.
Mama, I have done the same thing. I post and hit delete. Frustrating. Sounds like you have a chance to get some exercise and fasting in the next couple of days. BTW, if he does your honey-do list and does "man stuff" with your husband, I don't think your husband will mind the boyfriend. LOL
Off to go to the grocery store. I have had 6 teenage boys in and out of the house for the last week along with a few adults. The cupboards are *bare*. I am only restocking good, healthy food. I am also getting the ingredients to be able to cook at home. I am not big into New Year's resolutions, but I am going to start cooking at home more, now that I have the time.2 -
Kate ^^^ hahaha
