Hello :) Its been a long time since I visited this forum. I was keto a few years back and I did really well on it, but then life hit with an injury that sidelined me from my military career, followed by the pandemic, and a work from home sedentary lifestyle with gyms all closed and whatnot...list of excuses, insert here.…

Thanks for the support guys, I really appreciate it! <3

If you're a beginner runner, I was instructed by my trainer to set the jogging pace just past the speed where your body wants to change from walk to run. Keep it slow and easy while you build time/distance, then gradually pick up the speed later. It worked well! I started at 4.8 mph, and by the time I finished it and was…

https://www.16personalities.com/infj-personality I got the advocate too, which had a lot of truth in it! Thanks for the interesting link, Sunny!

I do egg salad and serve it in celery sticks. Even my kids like this!

Avocado is fine, no worries! I havent seen any loss this week myself, but I realize my crazy menocycle is likely the culprit so I'm just trying to keep calm and keto on. Stay the course, guys! We've got this!

Monday it is indeed. And I seem to have caught that MackTruckitis that has been going around...I'm down for the count. I haven't been around here much for the past few months as I was trying another WOE out that I couldn't get to work for me at all. Trying to get back on the LCHF wagon again, but I keep getting derailed by…

Nom Nom Paleo's Cracklin Chicken is one of my FAVOURITES! My whole family loves it, even my picky eater!

Thanks for the input guys! I eat wings a lot and every time I log them, I wonder about this question. I've gone with each segment, but then if I eat 8 wings it is like 800 calories and that seems like an awful lot for those lil deliciousnesses

I weighed in on Friday from 177 down to 172! \o/ Buuut now I'm at 174 again and trying not to let it bug me. Maybe my crazy weird unpredictable menopause crap again...

Count me in too. I've been struggling since the summer! My lowest weight was 165 and I hit 177 the other day which did me in. New Year's Eve I decided to LCHF again, get back on the wagon, and 3 of those pounds have abandoned ship now. \o/ Start weight: 177 Dec 30 Current weight: 174 Goal for Jan 31: 165 Might be over…

Hi! I haven't been injured recently, but previous injuries like to rear their ugly heads still sometimes and really cramp my style. Between my right ankle giving out on me sometimes and my left forearm doing the same...over 40, we just don't heal like we used to! *sigh* I've been struggling to get back on track since…

*hug* Rowdy! I have been going through the exact same thing for a few weeks now too! I am good for a couple of days, then for some reason I eat cookies. Not just one cookie, LOTS of cookies. Or Halloween little chocolate bars, lots of them. Rice, bread... I've dabbled in all of it lately and I am not proud of myself. In…

I cut up garlic sausage into slices and then cut up a babybel and put a piece on each slice of sausage, nuke for 45 seconds - yum!

*hug* Samantha! Be good to your mom, and to yourself.

Yep, happens to me all the time too but I blame menopause, not keto. I'm hot, then I'm cold, then I'm hot, then I'm cold...blargh!

One thing that helped me quit was cinnamon sticks. They kinda taste like dirt...but they are about the same size as a cigarette and they gave me something to occupy my hands with that I could also put in my mouth. Not sure if that will be any use to you, but I found it helped me a lot! It's been over five years now, and…

@SuperCarLori awww thanks, my friend. I've been too ashamed to show my face around here, all covered in pizza and chocolate, sushi and chinese food...oh boy, it's been bad. On the good side, I tried hard yesterday and I did great right up until after dinner when I really wanted something sweet. I've found these nanaimo…

I admit I have been thinking about baking a pumpkin loaf...and I know if I bake it, I can't help but taste it. Don't...bake...the loaf!!! That's a really interesting theory on the season change influencing the way we're eating - I hadn't thought of that but it makes sense. Suddenly I'm tired of all of the things I loved to…

Well I've been on holiday for the first five days of September, got absolutely no workouts in, though I did help my stepdad chop firewood and I climbed all along a beach with my son playing this game where you could only touch logs, not the ground. It kind of felt like leg day. I tried to be mindful of my eating, and to…

Yep, back from five days vacationing on Texada Island, sailing and fishing, and trying hard not to make crappy food choices but making a few anyhow. Somehow I managed to break my plateau and drop two pound, though, even eating a scoop of wonderful salted caramel ice cream and more bread than I have had in months. Back to…

I had some Chinese food last night for the first time in a long time, and I hadn't even left the restaurant before I felt like my guts had turned into a big balloon. I didn't even eat much! Mostly meat, but a bit of chow mein too. I had a whopper headache after dinner as well, that no meds seemed able to conquer. It kept…

Autumn is my favourite season, too. I love how colourful everything is, and I love those morning when the first frost begins and it sparkles on the rooftops and grass as the sun comes up. I love having a fire in the fireplace, and a snuggly blanket. I love that puff of "smoke" that comes out of your mouth when you first…

Just coming off special lady time ;) and I'm hovering between 168 - 169 pretty much every morning. No loss for a couple of weeks now. I'm trying to eat intuitively rather than recording every single thing, and I'm not gaining at least, but I find myself habit eating. Right now it's time to be making breakfast, and I was…

Head cheese....I shudder at the name alone

I run. When I first started keto my performance suffered a little for the first couple of weeks, but after that all was back to normal. I've never been one to carb load before a race though, mainly because consuming anything before a race has always made me nauseous. I sip electrolyte drinks throughout the race but that's…

I hadn't really thought about this, but now that you've made me consider it, I must say that since going keto my mood does seem to be much more stable. Except, to a degree, during shark week...but I will also say that I am more aware of when I'm being a snarly schmagbag at that time and have so far been better able to…

I wonder how much artificial sweetener it might take to throw off weight loss. I don't consume a lot of it...at most 4 packets of sweet n'low in a day, but usually only 2. Once in awhile I have a sugar free jello. Very occasionally I have a Coke Zero, though I might have diet pop more often if I ever came across Cherry…

I've never used cauliflower for an italian dish, but I have used boiled cabbage leaves in place of lasagna noodles and it turned out great! Even my kids loved it.

Great Job!!! You must feel great :)
