Thanks for startingthethread@l4a_p! Great name

01/03: 74.2 - February didn't go as planned. A large amount of cookies in the house was my downfall resulting in an average gain of 0.2kg instead of 1.0 loss. But this is a new month, a clean slate and all the cookies are over and done with ! Luckily I got 244,85 km of walks and already a total of 231 of biking kms this year to counter at least a little bit. Let's hit it girls !
03/03: 73.8
08/03: 74.8 - I know I didn't gain a full kilo in just 5 days, but it sure feels like it. Yes, I ate more than planned, but still not as much as I would in maintenance and still I gain. I am struggling to eat less because I'm much more sedentary than usual and I really need to adapt. A one hour walk a day doesn't warrant eating an extra cheese sandwichSo, I need to get a grip on the situation, and luckily I have these threads that at least keep me somewhat in check and accountable. An honest and deepfelt thank you ladies (yes, you).

Finally meeting with my OBGYN tmrw at 8:30! Going to get the IUD out!!!

In 3 months, I have experienced:
Swelling
Joint pain
Weight gain
Fatigue

Can’t take it anymore. I’ve dropped and broke cups and glasses because of my weakened grip. I can’t put on my shirt due to shoulder pain. (Taking off sports bra takes longer than putting on mascara!) Can’t turn on my side in bed because it aches everywhere. I sound pathetic 😔

I hope this is the answer to the problems but I can’t think of anything else.
So I’ll keep you guys posted on my recovery 🍀🤙🏼

I hope you'll recover soon ! I'm sending you some virtual hugs from over the big pond.

March Goals: continue exercising 4-6 days a week.
Log my food intake every day. Be more cognizant of empty calories/dessert that I consume nightly and reduce it by at least 50%.

@cayenne_007 im doing keto too and try to preplan what meals I am eating when going out but I have learned that if I can’t find something that is really good I will just have whatever I want and then go back to keto. I have made myself miserable before trying to stay on keto at restaurants and basically eating iceberg lettuce so much so that I did not enjoy it at all and was hangry afterwards and binged on crap.

Up 1.5# this morning...totally has to be hydration flux. Totally F*'s up my mindspace. Had a 1000 calorie breakfast. Looks like a 45min workout at noon would be helpful for me. (already did a 6am workout, so this would be a double. I will do the elliptical, since it burns more calories than walking.) I should check into this thread more!

I definitely have a time of day and pattern that takes over at 3pm or 4pm. I just need to change the pattern.
I liked @k8richer's idea of brushing teeth. I'm adding 'go on walk' Perhaps thats a good time to check in here also.


Here are my thoughts from yesterdays 3-4pm snacks:

What thoughts are you having right before you decide to start eating?
I'm stressed and bored at the same time. I'm frustrated with my weight and I'm feeling anxious and I don't know.
They hyper palatable food doesn't help me at all. Green peas helps a TON more!

How are you talking yourself into it?
Its a reward. I deserve this because I was at work. Because I'm finally getting 10 mins of alone time.

What did the overeat mean afterwards? I'm a little upset at myself. I want to be active to burn off the calories. I'm not hungry which is disappointing because now, i've messed up my evening meal. And I go back to my childhood self in thinking "I wish we didn't have to eat food at all. Take a pill and skip eating altogether. Give everyone 3 pills, solve world hunger and obesity" . Yeah, that was me at about 12 yrs old. The year I started working out.

it's the chips & salsa that going to be the end of me. I've been trying to celebrate NSV a bit... otherwise it's too discouraging.

Have you found a lowcarb tortilla and made it into your own chips? Thats one option / replacement that may help.

Jan EW:143 - AVE 144.2
Feb EW - 142.5 - AVE 142.4

March Goal - move average weight to 130s

1. Stay off sugar - Cheat days are anniversary and birthday
2. Stay Keto

3/1 - 142.5 - AVE 142.4 - huge mexican food dinner out last night for hubby's birthday. Back at it today.
3/2 - 141.8 - AVE 142.3 - no cheating yesterday
3/3 - 140.4 - AVE 141.7 - yesterday was really good
3/8 - 140.8 - AVE 140.6 - Been traveling a fair amount, trying to refocus today.
3/9 - 140.4 - AVE 140.4 - yesterday was hellacious on so many levels.
3/10 - 141.6 - AVE 140.7 - K=.5 Rather a bummer, but I did a decent job yesterday. I haven't been sleeping much and have been crazy stressed.... I think it's taking a toll. I did get a little gadget to help me see if I'm getting into ketosis yesterday and will start checking every morning - it's a blood test.
3/11 - 141.5 - AVE 140.9 - K=.8 Just trying to stay steady. Yesterday was good... My goal till Sunday is no bread, sugar or wheat. Road trip this afternoon and my anniversary is Sunday - we've got reservations at a really cool restaurant - I'm not logging that meal! You HAVE to celebrate sometimes!
3/15 - 144.8 - AVE 143.4 - The after effects of a fabulous wknd. LOL Back at it today. Yesterday was our anniversary and we literally celebrated all day. I can't remember the last time I inhaled so much sugar, bread, popcorn... all the stuff. Funny how my joints feel a bit swollen today...

10/03: 74.0 - that's water weight gone, good riddance! Now let's attack those fat cells.
17/03: 73.8 - and that could have been better if hubbie hadn't decided to bring some fancy easter eggs from the bakery on Sunday. He felt like I needed a treat after a horrendous work week. I love him to bits, but why chocolate?! But on the bright side: all the other days were really ok, hence the slight loss.

On Saturday we will leave for a 9 day break to the Ardennes, a hilly region in Belgium. Not very far from our house (we still can't cross borders yet), but a whole other atmosphere. The plan is to do a lot of walks. It's the first time since 2003 that we are having a non-diving holiday and it feels strange. Restaurants and bars will still be closed, so we plan to have some take out regularly.
