Sorry I've been MIA. I've literally been out in the middle of nowhere. This park is supposed to have wifi since it doesn't even get cell reception, but it was down the whole time. So I couldnt check in. I didn't eat that great but I made sure to get a min of 10k steps daily.3

7/14-7/15
Rough. I started yesterday on 2 hours of sleep, ate maybe 400 calories if I'm being generous, had a string of pretty severe PTSD-related panic attacks, took something after the second (third?) one that should've stopped them but did not. Kept having the damn things until I eventually passed out.
Today... woke up too early, still. Went to the doctor to get labs done to scope out my testosterone levels and ended up sticking around for almost 4 hours since I starting having more panic attacks on the drive down there. Since I'd expected to be gone maybe an hour I didn't bother to eat beforehand.
Well. Good talk, brain.
THE GOOD NEWS! I asked my fiance and our roommate to come pick me up from the clinic and they made it so so easy to ask. We picked up chicken veggie soup and a bunless double-cheeseburger with bacon for lunch on the way home! Kinda struggling to eat, but I'm getting there. I know accidentally fasting, combined with little sleep, is absolutely not helping my mental state, so food desperately needs to happen.
I did buy a small monkey muffin as a sweet comfort food craving, but old me would've also bought cookies, maybe an almond croissant, oh and are those scones? Mine. So. I'm okay with this choice. I guess the other weird bright side is my recent panic attacks have messed with my appetite enough that I ended up in ketosis much sooner than usual.8 -

No novel this time, I promise.
Felt like myself again today, so I was back to smiling and moving around all day, even while seated. Gotta keep that NEAT up!
Worked on preparing for a weekend camping trip (we're being well cautious of COVID-19), including food prep for several meals.
Stayed well within my calories for the day, and I'm happy with the macro ratio.7/15:
@gcminton, hang in there! Hopefully things get better for you.
Thank you so much!
I met a new therapist today who will hopefully help me make more progress.

Caloric goal
, carb even yesterday when series of emergencies ran me ragged. Protein- not hitting that goal! I did ok last week with a lot lot of eggs but this week I didnt want to look at them. Got some turkey breast roasted and I hope that will help.
Waiting for weighing on Sunday in some tension.
I have to admit I dont really believe my logging. I weight my food and logg all but until I see those numbers...2 -

Calorie/macro goal was missed and was more at maintenance. Poor planning for dinner led to higher carb choices. NEAT was good for the day so maybe that helps.3 -

Its great that you managed the stress!! For protein - chicken breast, turkey breast, tuna, egg whites (you can get cartons of egg whites at the store usually found by the eggs - can be added to just about anything as they are basically tasteless) and if all else fails, find a protein powder that you like. The one that I am using now has 30g of protein for 110 calories and 2g carbs.1 -
7/16:
on-plan:
exercise: Long yard walk. And gardening. Had a lot of watering to do since we've not been getting rain. Over 12k steps. 2 -
7/15 hit my goals....7/16 hit everything but working out ... I ran all over town yesterday and when I got home my ankle (the one that I twisted on 7/7 when doing aerobics) was the size of a baseball and hurt like h3ll (I iced it and stayed off of it the rest of the evening)3

7/17:
on-plan
exercise More walking. The sleep situation while sleeping ha snarled up my shoulder so there's been no strength going on. I'm hoping I can get back to normal this week. 11k-ish steps 3 -
Nothing got done between yesterday (extra long work day) and today (ER for hubby bad allergic reaction).
At least I've eaten on plan.
Hopefully a return to normal tomorrow.2 -
7/17-7/18
Logged everything both days
Calorie/macro goal: I was a bit over on calories yesterday but had almost 17k steps so plenty of NEAT to help balance the overage. Today I had a milkshake that I didn’t need but in 95 degree heat, man was it good! I didn’t eat much for lunch or dinner but obviously carbs were high. I’ll be getting some cardio in tomorrow as NEAT wasn’t as high today.2 -

Well...that was meant to say while CAMPING. One of the kids was talking to me while I was trying to type.

7/17-7/19
Camping trip was aborted (for me, anyway) after we crawled into the tent the first night. My janky right hip flared up really bad and I'm still babying it here on the 19th. Oh well, it was still a great time while it lasted, and everyone else got to stay for the remainder.
Activity levels have been okay, all things considered. I haven't logged much food but it's been on-plan 90% of the time so no worries there. Considering my mental health issues and changing back to a WOE that suits me extremely well (low/zero cravings, easily satiated, much higher energy levels), I'm actually a little worried that I've started undereating recently. Not on purpose, just not much appetite and then my stomach shrank enough that it's hard to eat as much when I do try, which is not a stellar combination. Oh well again. Back on track with the logging tomorrow morning when my regular schedule resumes, so I can turn this bus around now if my worries are correct.3 -

Calorie/carb goal: I was fine on calories for the day but over on carbs due to a big salad for dinner. Still trying to do mainly carnivore most days but every once in a while I’m feeling veggies. NEAT wasn’t all that high but I still got about 10k steps in.1 -
7/20:
Steps: 5700
Moved every hour during work
Exercise: morning bike ride of 15.14 miles
Food: Way low on everything...
I was going to do a 48 hour fast from Sunday evening to Tuesday evening, but started feeling wonky yesterday evening - checked my BG and it had dropped into the mid 60's so I abandoned the fast and ate enough to bring the BG back in line. I have done extended fasts before but haven't done as much exercise (like the bike ride yesterday morning) when doing them. I guess the ride burned more than I expected... oh well, live and learn.0 -

Calorie/carb goal: a smidge over on calories but full on carnivore for the day. Had a strong sweets craving but shoved it down and moved on. It helped that hubs didn’t feel the need to snack late or mention sweets.2 -

Calories/macro goal:👎ate more at maintenance than a deficit. I had soup for lunch which I enjoyed but then overate at dinner. I got in a walk and an indoor bike ride but didn’t hit move goals for the day nor my normal step goal.2 -
