Ugh. Wrong direction for weight loss. Frustrated this week, but still on the bandwagon.3 -

As I said a couple of days ago, I think I'm finally past the mental block I'd been running into the last several weeks! I know most of this loss is "first week of really being on track" water weight loss, but it's still nice to see a significant drop, especially after a non-keto splurge yesterday of a slice of regular pizza and a scoop of ice cream with my kids as an early Valentines treat, which I was afraid was going to cause the scale to bounce back upwards. Being able to be happy with one slice and one scoop felt like a breakthrough for me after several months of eating way too much junk.4 -

I’m focusing on reducing my carb intake and not stress eating too. Slow and steady is the key, 👍

Slow slow slow!!! Slow is good, but so frustrating. Mother nature’s visit doesn’t help the scale any. Hopefully next week I see a little better results.2 -

It's easier for me right now because my girls are eating low carb as well, so we can hold each other accountable and walk together every day. Since my gym is not open, I really need to start working out at home because I see much better progress when I'm doing more than just walking. I did an ab video last week, but I need to get on some resistance training this week.
Check out the Bikini Body Guide 4 week Pre-workout on pinterest. It's a really dumb name, but the workouts are tough. 30 minute total, HIIT workouts using either just body weight, or some light weights. All of it can be modified to whatever equipment you have at home.
@Sarag78 My week got so busy, I did not see this until now....I will definitely be checking this out! Thank you!1 -
I definitely ate some things last week that weren't the BEST of choices, but I am still seeing progress because on the days my carbs are higher, I am really watching calorie count and expenditure through exercise.
I am finding that either OMAD or at least a shorter eating window makes it easier for me to keep control of my carb and calorie numbers.
I am finally seeing less cravings and "mental" hunger. I think my stomach growled from being hungry for the first time last night. It was a good reminder that my typical "constant state of being hungry" is more mental and emotional more than anything!
For Valentines Day, My husband got us a virtual salsa cooking class with a chef in Mexico City. It was so much fun and I was able to eat what we made without overeating the things I usually would have...and I still felt satisfied. That is a good feeling.
I'm hoping for the best this week!

My February weight loss has slowed down but is still moving in the right direction. Each weekend this month has challenged my effort to keep up my 2021 weight loss trend: Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day, and a send-off party for my Granddaughter (going into the Marines). This coming week will be the first celebration-free week for me this month, so here is hoping for good news next Sunday.

I started weighing and measuring my food again. I had gotten lazy with that, and I think the creep in portion sizes had started. That and cut total carbs back again. I had also gotten a little lax on adding in some things that had low NET carbs because they tasted good. But, clearly those need to stay as special treats because the scale is saying they don’t work for me!1 -

The older I get, the slower this process is. When I lose this weight, I really need to keep it off. I'm tired of doing this over and over again. On a more positive note, I am feeling better physically already and my energy levels and moods are improving too.

3rd week - pms week, ugh, measurements up, didn't even get on the darned scale, hopefully I can get something real next weekend if it's all over by then!
On the plus side, my calories were mostly on target, I swapped some of my poverty/maintenance days, but I still had 3 maintenance days and 4 poverty days, so that's cool...and I did all the workouts...though the fatigue was real and it was such a struggle...powered through and did them all...not so much on the extra, like just one day of extras...but, all the planned stuff was done except stretching which I can live without for one week.1 -

I got my second Covid vaccine on Friday. For the last two days, I’ve been moving around like a sloth; slow and with low energy. However, I must still be burning calories because I’m down 1.6 pounds from the previous week and 4.4 for the month. Two months of 2021 in the books. Here comes March!
