ROFL!!! You meanie - kicking kittens *smh*

You are already doing the main thing I was going to suggest - the Epsom salt bath, as your body will absorb the magnesium and the muscles will be happy with the warm water ;)

That's funny!!

There is a group here in the community of people who are doing low carb. I'm going to try & link it here

Good for you! I am with you on the "restart" after a very bad week. I like your plan and just KNOW you are going to kick it this time around!

That's great that this happened to you! I am hoping I feel like crap tomorrow because I just gave new meaning to the phrase "carb loading"!! Carb hoarding maybe? Carb gorging? Carb overload...that's it! :s

OMG - that sounds fabulous! Maybe this could be an occasional treat? What proportions do you use to make this? I really shouldn't be asking...

That's an excellent idea - will strongly consider it! :)

I want to be a Tough Mudder some day!! I would be happy to do a "Half Tough Mudder" this year, and am considering making it a goal. Not sure if it's physically possible or not... I also want to hike in the Grand Canyon, and take other hiking trips. And bicycling trips. And go kayaking (which I'm supposed to do in 2 wks if…

So totally ME!!!

Ok, I have officially abandoned the initial goal and consequence as of a few hours ago. The loss of the ability to exercise at the level I was (and is needed to reach goal) is too much. I will confer with my accountability partner (son) on what would be a good replacement goal & reward/consequence. So what have I done…

Thank you for the very excellent replies!! o:) I have not given enough consideration to the injury and how it may affect the weight loss other than my not being able to work out 6 days/week. I will seriously consider revamping my goal.

LOVE this - my inner terrorists!

o:) Excellent - thank you!!!

LOL!!!

EXACTLY!!! I'm seriously messed up.

I don't even know what to say here. I am up & down & up & down. It's 10:30 a.m. and I've had almost 1,000 calories and who knows how many carbs. Pot luck at work, only 10' away from me. Why don't I give a *kitten*? So disgusted with myself and all I can think about is going back for more...

Thanks for the clarification! Now to split hairs...I am doing <= NET 45 carbs. Is that keto? Or is keto STRAIGHT carb numbers?

I am not going to punish myself, because I am not going to fail ;)

That's the logic I'm using, Twibbly. Patience. Do what I'm supposed to do now so that I can do what I want to do later - and I really do love working out!

Thanks for the reassurance. I know it will be ok but sometimes I just really need to hear it from someone else.

That's a great story, Twibbly!!! :D

Word.

LOL!!!

Here I thought I knew all I needed to know about MCT! I didn't realize one brand could be different than the other, and chose a highly-rated cheaper oil than the Brain Octaine. I'll check out the label when I get it tonight to see if it's in line with what I want. Got it on Amazon so could return it easily if I want.…

@Sunny_Bunny_ and @auntstephie321 , you both refer to "short chain" acid. MCT is medium chain. Is that what you meant or am I not understanding something? I sooooo appreciate the warnings on the MCT & the possible reactions. I have a sensitive stomach so will ease in slowly. I am re-thinking my morning pill-taking, and may…

Thank you for posting this - what a GREAT post, SunnyBunny!! I will try not to stress out over the scale, but given that I have a firm weight-loss goal & date, I have to lose weight. Will work on the mind games, though ;-)

Thanks, I will. Even though I'm not hungry early in the morning, I have to eat something with my coffee because I have to take pills and my stomach would get upset. I'm thinking something really light & small. I've heard MCT can upset the stomach sometimes - like as in pukey, or The Big D? :/

Thanks for sharing all this, guys. I decided to buy some MCT oil after doing a lot of reading on it. Maybe it's worth it, maybe not...I don't know. I may just be gullible. But it should be here Mon night so I'll start my BPC on Tuesday

CONGRATULATIONS - that is amazing!!!
