    Still here, @4031isaiah , still chipping away at the obstacles, sabotage or what ever. Getting closer, recently, by focusing on ways to be reinvested:
    Moving more, logging faithfully, putting together a great keto day here and there...
    Trying to get a big fat snowball rolling again.
    I will do this.
    How are you doing???

    Same. I let the pandemic get the better of me for several months and undid all of the work I’ve done in the past. I’m even further away from goal now than ever before but am finally putting measures in place to get back on track for good.

    @4031isaiah We got to do this thing!

    I've started with trying to increase my steps, little by little. I'm hoping as I get more stamina and get my numbers up, the food part will be easier due to inspiration. I got so out if shape and can barely walk a mile(about 2300 steps for me) but I'm doing it. That's up from 500 steps at the beginning of last month.
    As for weight....sadly I'm back in the big girl range. No longer svelte at all.
    I keep trying to remind myself how great it felt to be doing keto. My body felt good and I had sooooo much energy. I really miss that.
    I really need to get this going.

    @Nana_Booboo Great! How are you doing? I’m just plugging away trying to stay sane! 😆 Bought myself a new Apple Watch ⌚️ so now I have to make myself get up and get this weight off and get back into shape.

    I love my Apple Watch. I love the Attain app. I have a daily “burn” goal - gets me going every day.

    Don't want to jump the gun with enthusiasm, but I've been on plan for 4 days now. That is a long stretch for me right now. It's been so hard that I feel like every waking moment I'm fighting binge urges, but I've resisted. Every. Waking. Moment!
    Tomorrow is the biggest challenge for me emotionally. Crossing my fingers that I get through it. If so, I may be able to get a good, solid keto thing going.
    I need to remember that most weight loss occurs from kitchen decisions. I think I've been placing my focus elsewhere for too long.
    Hope I can do this. It's been too long since I felt good about making things happen in my life.
    Wish me luck, pals!

    @elize7 You’ve got this! I tried being 💯 keto but it is hard! So I’ve been doing macros instead & have been pretty good with staying around 10-15% in carbs! Sometimes I go up but for the most part I’ve been pretty good!
    Best of luck friend.

    Having a frustrating couple of days. Anyone ever accidentally kick themselves out of ketosis, but don’t know how? I use a blood ketone monitor, and had been sitting around a .9~. I usually test before dinner. Last night, I was at .4, and this morning at .2. I’m just not sure what happened. The only thing I have eaten out of my normal was a gas station lunch of a meat and cheese pack, and some spicy pickles. I read the labels and they seemed fine. I also had a diet dr. Pepper for the first time in forever. So frustrating!!!

    Still working out the kinks with my new food plan, but having more and more successes.
    I'm increasing my step number totals gradually and steadily. Still haven''t reached a solid level of endurance, so some days after a good stretch, I just need to reboot with a couch potato day or two.

    I'm mostly hovering somewhere inbetween LC and keto at this point. Still want to go full on keto for many reasons, but I'm thrilled with overall progress over the last few months. Getting closer every day, even feeling some small rumblings of motivation and excitement resurfacing.
    Have a great day, pals!

    Made zucchini lasagne last night with zucchini sliced in the mandoline instead of lasagne noodles. Didn't even miss the noodles, which was a win!
