R102 goal: continue the alternate IF/Keto routine

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 79.5 kg Ah well, the round starts with a small gain. Eating was all okay but I didn't drink enough yesterday and was a bit stressed. That's most probably why and it's okay.
01/19 79.5* kg Fasted 21 hrs. In between I got hungry but I managed to keep myself busy and it passed easily. I also started exercising again and expect the scale will move upwards for a bit the next days. But doesn't really matter. I fit in a jeans again that a week ago was too tight even to close. Now it's comfortable. I can feel that my body is changing:-)
01/20 79.3 kg stuck to the keto routine. had to deal with hormonal cravings. Halo top, more nuts and protein helped but only ACV stopped the craving.
01/21 80.1kg Fasted for 22.5 hrs. Stayed under calories, exercised and worked quite a lot. I forgot about drinking enough because of being busy. That's most probably the reason for more weight this morning. From experience the weight goes up in these phases but the body still slims down. Nearly by the day the trousers become more comfortable.

01/22 80.1* kg Still following my IF/keto plan. I like how my energy levels have changed and I feel mentally somehow more confident in general. Installed a fasting app, curious if I like to use it in the future. Decided to weigh in only in 3 days because I feel that I am becoming fixated on the weight and don't like it. Better stop it right at this point. As long as I eat clean, stick to the plan and clothes/ rings are getting wider, there is no reason to be worried about natural fluctuations of water. So I give my mind a break.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 163.6 lbs

01/19 162.2 lbs We were having a blizzard so in order to get my steps in I walked 5 miles in my house with family home, pretty sure they think I am crazy. Not going to kid myself that this is going to stay but hoping this means I am closer to my goal for this month.

01/20 163.4 lbs Hubby wanted breakfast, so I cooked and he wanted me to eat with him, which meant I broke my fast to early in the day and I knew we were going out for pizza and beer with friends in the evening but it was too long of a time to wait between and I ended up snacking and going over my calories. But it was a great day with family and friends and we need those days too, mentally. Still no exercise except snowmobiling but we are suppose to warm up above zero this week, hoping to do some cross country sking.

01/21 165.0 No idea what happened here. around 1200 calorie, made it 10,000 steps, IF from noon to 8pm. I wish I could exercise more. No access to a gym, hoping to ski today because it's too icy to walk.

01/22 162.8 lbs I did try sking but it was windy and raw on the face, snow is not the greatest but made it a mile. Hoping to ski with friends this afternoon, wind should be less.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 – Didn’t weigh, not at home.
01/19 – Didn’t weigh, not at home. Date with hubby yesterday and I took a break from tracking. Outback for lunch and we did eat blooming onion petals, but I only hate half of my lunch entrée and saved the rest for dinner. Then to the movies, but no snacks or sodas.
01/20 – 123.4 – Not too bad considering the weekend.
01/21 – 123.2
01/22 – 122.8 – Been eating my pre-planned lunches this week. Busy day yesterday, so I had a quick light dinner. Then when I finally got home, enjoyed one of my current favorite snacks. Vanilla Greek yogurt with fresh pineapple and a little bit of granola for some crunch.

Round 102 (my 34th)

OSW 382.0
RSW 266.0

01/18 264.2 There’s the water bounce dropping, plus a little more. Tom still hasn’t arrived, but at least I’m not holding onto water like the last few times it decided to be late. My goal is to see some new lows this round.

01/19 262.6 When I said yesterday that I wanted to see some new lows this round I wasn’t thinking that I would see them so soon! Though this could in part be to sleeping in an hour later than usual, I’ll be happy if I don’t see a little bounce tomorrow when I weigh at my new usual time. I figured out my eating schedule so that I’m not overly hungry by dinner time and trying not to eat everything in sight. My nsv yesterday was buying some new mean’s sweatpants in large and top in xtra large. The shirt looks a little stuffed sausage on me, but it will soon fit better, and I don’t mind wearing it in the house.

01/20 262.4 I weighed at my usual time this morning and I’m just happy there wasn’t a bounce up from the different weigh in times.

01/21 260.8 This whoosh is brought to me by another later weigh in. I was very tired when I got up this morning, so I went back down for a short bit. I am so glad I did because I feel 100 times better and have energy which has been missing lately. Plus it brought me this nice whoosh down.

01/22 261.0 The small bounce is okay, I was a little high on sodium yesterday. I’ve already hit my goal for the month and anything more is happy extra toward my goal for the year.

@fmfdfa2020
Well said! I totally agree - its equally emotional, mental and physical. So easy to make a poor choice and then decide to just give up and go crazy. And then spend the next few days regretting said choice, a downward spiral. Maybe the key is to sit back, think about why and give your self some self love and compassion. Then put on the running shoes and get back in the game.

I am blown away by everyone here and their efforts. And especially those that have so many rounds in. So impressed. It's motivating for sure

Round 101 EW - 172.8

1/18 - 172.4
1/19 - 171.8
1/20 - 172.0 Great weekend. Ate sensibly. Going to keep it going at work this week.
1/21 - 171.8 Monday was good. Found some dark chocolate covered almonds on the clearance shelf. Just a couple of these delicious morsels make the best reward at the end of the day. (Hard to eat just 2 but there are only 12 so I'm going to try to make them last - my challenge for the week).
1/22 - 171.0 This round is going great. I think I've found a plan that will work. I'm eating mostly the same meals every day which makes it soooo much easier for me. No decisions. Eating a lot of eggs (love eggs) cooked every which way with different bits of meat/veggies thrown in. No cholesterol problems so not worried about that. Throw in a good salad with lots of good veggies. A small piece of chocolate and ta-da the weight is coming off. Oh yes, also lots of water! (There are other foods involved but not on a regular basis.)

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

Do you take measurements? I’m terrible at that myself but if you are losing FAT and gaining MUSCLE your weight may not change but your body composition will. A pound is a pound but muscle takes up less space! - Jpv, 11/22/19

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

01/18 121.0 Got up late.
01/19. 122.0 Was in an all day sewing class yesterday. We had a buffet of deli meat and cheese. I keto-ed the best I could with the selection available and suspect this might be water. Didn’t drink enough water. My back was killing me when I got home but feels better now. No worries about the blip.
01/20 120.5 Meeting DD#2 and her husband for her late birthday lunch. Great Greek - YUM!
01/21 121.5 I haven’t been tracking food for a week, haven’t been to the gym since 1/13 and may have slacked off in water. I need to get my act together and not be complacent. I have failed too many times in the past! I have 1/2 of my Greek Salad left from yesterday.
01/22 122.5 Ate way too many carbs yesterday. I ate a snack at 9pm and went to bed - pork rind nachos so it was keto but I could not keep my eyes open and was falling asleep in my chair so went to bed at 9:40 and slept until 6AM! Meeting Amy at the gym today.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/17 …..189.9….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/18 …..189.9 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1423 Calories In / 2984 Calories Out. 42 Net Carbs. 21,302 Total Steps & 9.01 Total Miles. 10/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 1 minutes but it was very broken sleep. I walked for 2 hours & 7 minutes at the school burning 969 calories walking very briskly and I walked on my property for a short 12 minute walk at about 3.0 mph burning another 72 calories. Total extra burn 1041. Good luck everyone! Let’s make this one really count!

01/19 …..189.7 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1716 Calories In / 2125 Calories Out. 84 Net Carbs. 8,197 Total Steps & 3.47 Total Miles related to working. 12/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 3 minutes but I needed so much more. I walked steady for 15 minutes at 2.5 mph burning 65 calories which didn’t help my situation

01/20 …..189.7 ….. First a report on my son who is an adult autistic beautiful boy. First official weekly weigh-in this morning showed a 5.8 pound loss for him Yesterday’s stats: 1838 Calories In / 2436 Calories Out. 76 Carbs. 12,232 Total Steps & 5.18 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 6 minutes and woke up very tired. The school is not open to walk on Sat/Sun and the weather hit 11 degrees below zero by dark. Too cold & icy to walk outside yesterday. I cleaned cabins for a couple of hours. Fitbit saw it as 27 minutes of activity so that’s what I record. I am learning so much from you all. Thanks to everyone for your comments & your sharing. A special thanks to Tish.

01/21 …..189.6 ….. A little up on calories but my carbs were within acceptable levels with my current plan of readjustment. A nice good long exercise walk yesterday at the school to help get the scale to move. Yesterday’s stats: 1808 Calories In / 2861 Calories Out. 48 Net Carbs. 21,306 Total Steps & 9.02 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 31 minutes falling asleep earlier last night. I woke up much better rested. I walked at the school at about 3.5 mph average for 116 minutes burning 711 Extra calories. I also cleaned 2 cabins with light to moderate effort along with other duties. I felt pretty good yesterday. My meals and days have been on point, but my night time snacking is putting me a bit higher than desired. I think I am still in fear of the sugar drops as this is when it always occurs – at night. I am making moderate choices and feeling good. I will continue to work toward my ultimate macro goal.


01/22 …..189.6 ….. A small glucose episode last night put me slightly over carb but I was still under calorie goal. I DO NOT WANT THE DOCTOR TO PUT ME BACK ON THE PILLS SHE TOOK ME OFF OF. I still take 2500 mg of Metformin for T2 Diabetes, but dropped 4 other pills after starting Keto originally. I can’t believe I let an extended holiday period of time take me this far back into bad health!!! I continue to slowly work on this. I know it can be done, I managed it when I first started my weight loss journey. I also realized last night that I have been doing a lot of walking during the week which is exactly what you do to help LOWER your blood sugars. So this may also be affecting the severe night lows (after the evening walks). As suggested by @musicsax I will probably try to reserve more carbs for nighttime, after the exercise day is over. I have been using up most of them before the walk because of having some weakness and dizzy spells during the walks if I haven’t eaten enough of them. Balancing it out is proving tough, but the formula is in there somewhere and I will find it. At some point, my body will re-adjust to it all and it won’t be as difficult – The incidences will greatly decrease. Every pound I can drop will also help as the overall glucose is (then) improved. It’s like a science equation really. Yesterday’s stats: 1545 Calories In / 2953 Calories Out. 62 Net Carbs. 20,652 Total Steps & 8.74 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 47 minutes and it felt good. I walked for 14 minutes at home at about 3.0 mph burning 72 cals. I walked at the school for 113 minutes at 4.0 mph burning 775 cals, and I danced for 18 minutes burning 144 cals. Sample song: “Pontoon” by Little Big Town. Total extra calorie burn 991. I have many projects that are behind at home. I haven’t decided yet whether to drop the school walk for the day, rest the body a little bit and get some work at home done. We’ll see how I feel later. The walking is very habitual and addictive. It’s hard to say “no” to.
