@carsonheim I know you are worried about your friend. Until she hits that point where she HAS to change or else, she won't change how she's eating. When she gets there- that's the time to swoop in and help her change her habits. I'd probably leave her diary off this forum unless she has asked you to share it and get our…

My DH made his 5th try at the ultimate keto cheesecake and the results are in: it's a-maze-ing. All his tweaking and re-buying of ingredients has definitely paid off! I'll post the recipe as soon as I get him to write it down. He's rightfully proud. It's super-rich, and tastes like anything you'd get at a restaurant. I'm…

I do martial arts 3X/week, walk with the lab (who keeps me at a good clip!), and I'm going to add swimming 2X/week back in here starting tomorrow.

for the past couple of years for Halloween, my DH and I have only gotten the candy on the day before (it's usually on sale then anyway) and only get the sour stuff. I HATE sour candy. If chocolate gets into the mix, then I'm in trouble! It definitely has a distinctive midnight call...

Had my third martial arts class last night and I'm not AS horribly sore the following morning. Found out that one of my classmates has recently comeback to martial arts after winning a battle with cancer. (She's amazing btw!!!) When I told her that I too, had come back after health issues (nothing like cancer), she called…

@elize7 you got this! Sounds like a good attitude. There are times I feel like having a good toddler, throw myself on the floor tantrum when things aren't progressing. But then I remember that I have to adult again and be patient. I like the idea of the brass ring out there.

good to know! I love their steaks, but now I'll bring my own butter! ;)

I'd love to join please

@ki4eld , that's awesome! I too, look forward to not having to put a load of thought into all this. So happy for you!

My poor DH. We were so excited when he tried his last keto cheese cake. It looked great, had risen nicely, he even put in tiny dark chocolate shavings, the texture was very cheesecake-y... but he forgot sweetener. It was the perfect cheesecake otherwise! DH looked so downtrodden- he's been trying to tweak the keto recipe,…

Congrats! This is phenomenal!

It is soo a b*tch, but you're workin it! Keep us posted please!

My hubs and I are trying to find togetherness activities outside of eating too. We're trying some new trails this weekend. My son just got interested in basketball, so maybe DH will help me teach him to shoot hoops!

B- 2eggs scrambled, bacon, 3 strawberries L- spinach salad w fajita chicken D- awww yeah: steak with asparagus from the garden!

that's a fantastic price! My work sells the same for $3.25!

I love new friends! Please add me anytime.

...when you and your SOE laugh conspiratorially together while downing steak slathered with butter. Feels so decadent!
-
Love it because it's too true! My lab has no problem reaching the kitchen counters, and has no problem helping herself!

@PleasantDisarray Thanks for this perspective! I forget sometimes when speaking with docs that they have to recommend what works for the general population- not me specifically. Not to mention, the EMR requires you all to ensure you've done your required patient education so you can check in all those boxes on the…

I've got a darling NSV today: Last night my son watched me tie up my gi (martial arts uniform) and my white belt for my second taekwondo class. He had a goofy grin on his face and when I asked him about it, he gave me a huge hug and told me he was "so proud of my mom for getting back into martial arts." Talk about major…

@emilybeaver congrats on the NSV! It does feel special when we bump into someone we haven't seen for awhile and they can't help themselves but to compliment you with a "Wow!"

Last night, I went back to martial arts. I had just barely begun work on my white belt when my dystonia kicked into overdrive and I had to put it on pause. I took a deep breath and signed back up yesterday afternoon- was in class at 7 pm while I still had the motivation. My uniform fit over my hips better, I was able to…

I had a friend who made a trial run on keto just to see what it was about. On day two she called me- perplexed as to what to serve for a third side. Her mind was so stuck on having a meat, a veg, a carb that she couldn't see that she could just have more meat or more veg! It's a mindset. It feels backwards sometimes, but…

I love this post! You are brave to be so forthcoming and willing to share your journey. It's a good reminder to be patient and nice to ourselves as we proceed. You're lookin fabulous!

Congrats on this! So glad you can enjoy your day without the itchies!

Aha! I KNEW something was up with my mag supplement. It doesn't end in -ate! Thank you for the tip!!! Tons of great info here. Bacon, you're a wizard!

Yesterday was our new tradition: Sunday chicken wing night! My hubs actually went out to get us a Fry Daddy. If you had asked me last year if I would ever consider a fryer a kitchen necessity, I would have laughed like crazy!

It's official!!! I've been on keto for 10 weeks this week and I've had NO dystonic tremors. Zero. Nada. I've not even gotten a feeling like my body was going to tremor. 10 weeks means that it is not a "placebo effect" and that this is actually working. 20 carbs is where I'm at, and with all y'alls help... I'm finding this…
