Hi all. Happy Thanksgiving! Just checking in. Starting up again after quite a while and in dire need of the keto feel good life.

Got my steps in for yesterday and as of today feel ready to add more steps in daily. My monthy average is really going up, and my back seems to be adjusting. Finally. It was only so-so with food. Seems to be the norm. Another day when I ate on plan ALL DAY LONG and then blew it at night. I joke about going to bed early to…

My goal is to walk 1 mile a day. That is 2400 steps for me, and an increase of about 625 steps from my daily average in May. I'm hoping to up my enthusiasm level thru motion, hoping it will kick over into my food plan but for now the priority is to free myself from my couch potato prison. Baby steps!

I never learn with my carb addiction, but the offending food is gone now, so hoping for a good tomorrow. From past experience with carbs, I do best at 20-25. Except for my off days I've been hovering around 50. Being so insulin resistant, that's really not good enough for me to reap the health and weight loss that I want.…

Wow. Another good keto day. As much as I dread a heat wave, it really helps keep my appetite in check.😎 Step count is a little low, but not too bad.

We're having a heat wave...a tropical heat wave🎶🎵🎶 And thank the keto overlords because I had a great keto day. (Too hot to eat too much!!!)

My body comp scale is still sitting unopened on my coffee table. It is brazenly taunting me. I have 12 days left in this challenge to conquer it.

Today was one of those days when I'm grateful that i managed to stay low carb...far from my desired keto, but I'm easily capable of taking it way worse. I can't wait til I'm regularly reporting on keto successes instead of flip flopping around every other day. I'm really in a struggle zone right now and have been for far…

Not doing 20:4 now, but I have in the past, and it worked very well for me. Would love to be back there, hopefully soon.

Not a great keto day; but no binging and calories were low... so not totally catastrophic. Steps are close to goal. I may or may not get there by bedtime. Again, not perfect but not bad. A Lazy Sunday. I hope to catch the eclipse tonite if it's possible with the naked eye.

Making another run at keto adherence. If i go to bed now, I will be right on target. That's crazy, right? To go to bed to keep from eating! It ain't easy. I've had some success in upping my step count to almost a mile a day this month. The past few days I've slacked off some, but still very impressed with what I've done.…

My new scale isn't even out of the box yet, but I'm sure it will also be a very rude jerk. Hopefully, that will help keep my sociopathic CARB cravings in check! Nothing else has so far! 😎

Well, my body comp scale is on the coffee table, and today's goal is to figure out how it works. I'm pretty sure the "comp" in body comp is short for complicated!!! Hoping to prevail. My step count was good yesterday, my food was iffy. So many challenges.

+1500 steps to my base number yesterday! For me, that's Wowza territory!

For the past 6 of 8 days I've hit my goal of adding 500+ steps! This is huge for me. I'm still struggling with daily keto success and adherence, but I know that successes over here help motivate successes over there. Like a big, rolling snowball effect! I feel so much more hopeful than I did last week.

I'm doing well with the 500 daily step increase for now. Some days more, some days less, but overall a countable increase. When it becomes more habitual, I'll increase another 500. My back and hips are protesting some days, but it's doable at this level with OTC assistance, and heating pads. Feels good to have finally made…

My goal for this month is to start using my scale again. When I stopped using it, i stopped being accountable. My goals are to set up and get familiar with my new body comp scale during week one, and weigh in once a week to start.

My keto successes are fluctuating, but overall I'm slightly more active and quite a bit more focused on specific daily food goals. I saw an episode of Shakespeare and Hathaway where a woman was standing alone in front of her scale for a private moment before "the weigh-in." I realized that after an injury I stopped…

Yesterday. I hit my added 500 step goal plus 1000. Today, I didn't hit my goal and my legs felt very sore. I think I may have these irregular days as I'm so out of shape now. I have a total number of steps in mind for this month and a pedometer that lets me see day/week/month totals. So, I'm not stressing the down days for…

Just starting up again after major back injury/pandemic sloth period. Pretty much coming off a years long couch potato period. I always loved doing steps before all that, and and am so impressed and inspired by the numbers i see posted here! Don't laugh, but I'm averaging 1500 steps a day now, and my goal is to up my game…

Resisted a very strong midnight craving last night which would have taken me 56 carbs over a solid keto day. I just refused to get out of bed til it passed. Literally pulled the covers over my head and turned my back to the door. Every little victory counts!

Getting closer to my food plan goals, but still not the fierce keto warrior of my past. I miss that woman. Still, a good day is a good day and can turn into a streak...and I'm banking on that.

Hi all! I'm trying a new strategy today of getting solidly back to keto. Eating a little more beef and fat earlier in the day so i can be full and hopefully bypass the evening cravings. Hope it works. I'm focusing on the next two weeks only, since that seems to be the amount of time until I hit my stride with this WOE.

I'm here, still trying to dial into the program. So happy to see this thread revitalized. It was a great source of inspiration and motivation to me in the past. Sorely in need of that now, pals. That's all I got for today. Back soon.

I'm still here sporadically. Currently trying to reverse pandemic poundage and feel more involved. Pandemic isolation has really messed with my mind and body. I really miss the busier group times. I relied on my fitness pals and miss empathizing, commenting, and connecting on a daily basis. Now, it's often...crickets...

Jumping in at the end here, in preparation for the New Year weightloss resolution. This year I'll have a weight-loss buddy for support which is nice. The struggle has been too real for far too long and I'm ready to break out! I'm planning on going keto for it's many manifestations of wellness in my body and mind. First…

Hello all. So many thanks to Baconslave for always showing up with a new challenge. I feel I've been lost at sea the past few years foodwise, but every time that I'm ready to try again, success or no success, the current challenge is here and ready for my efforts. It's like a lifeline to get back to the only way of eating…

I'm not the type to give up on a challenge; but, man. Its the 10th, I've had maybe 2 or 3 days of food plan success, and zero activity success. Not the great sprint I was so hoping for. Scale still not set up. Holiday Blues? Seasonal Depression? Isolation Regression? Hibernation? I don't know. I'm just not thriving. At…

Okay. Apparently I'm unable to be successful with two simultaneous goals, so I've chosen to zero in on food since I do believe that, for me, weight loss happens primarily in the kitchen. So far so good. After the first self sabotage weekend, i've settled in to an excellent stride with the food program. I got a food order…

I think the food and activity goals that i currently have are solid. What would make a big difference is if i really rev the uumph factor way up in meeting those goals every day.. So the goal is to be able to check both areas off each day for 31 days. Thats the sprint.
