I make a giant BPC every morning during the work week. I use coconut oil, kerrygold butter (I actually recommend using only this butter for this) heavy cream, sweetener of choice. I blend it well in my generic bullet. Then I pour it into a good insulated travel mug. One that keeps things hot for long periods of time. My…

Feel free to add me as well!

Thanks! Day one back on track and my macros are spot on! Sure did miss my bacon! :D

Happy Sunday! I was expecting to get on the scale this morning to see some sort of gain. Pleasantly surprised to see no regain at all! I never thought that I'd be able to do an extended fast. I've done IF and one that lasted 24 before. I think it's totally a mental boundary you have to jump. Today is going to be a busy…

Broke my fast at hour 70!!! Some results of this fast.. Lowest blood sugars ever! Highest ketone reading ever! Scale finally shows a solid reading below 200! Physically felt better than I ever felt before.... I'm pretty sure that this will become a monthly ritual.

Happy Friday!! Hour 55!! I'm totally doing this! And let me tell you I feel AMAZING. I've attempted this before and made it past 24 hours but in my head (I'm understanding this now) I mentally thought I wanted to eat, so I did. This round I decided that I'd stick to my guns and really see if I could do this. My fasting…

Hello Thursday! Creeping into hour 33... I can do this! Today is my daughters birthday!! She's another whole year older... that makes me older too! Lol! No cake for me please!

Wednesday! So... I'm going to start a fast today. How long depends on how the rest of my week goes. I'm allowing coffee fat and broth water/Keto aide too. Why? My n=1 is a full out failure. Obviously my body could care less what sweetener I'm using. Stevia run started with a small drop that came right back. On to Splenda…

Morning Tuesday is here quicker than I planned. I fell asleep super early last night. I've got to stop doing that! I had a terrible headache after my dentist appointment and coming off that Novocain did me in. Probably best that I slept but I neglected some paperwork that I needed to finish. High wind warnings here too…

Monday morning.... I'm up! I survived the weekend! Now it's back to work I go! I'm holding on, no cheats even though for some reason my brain was tempted by my kids eating over the weekend. I also tried out a new type of yoga. Buti yoga. I picked up the beginners video and it kicked my *kitten*!! I couldn't finish it but…

Happy Thursday! Well my strips came in! Tested right away cause it's shiny and new! My first reading was 0.4 now this was at 7pm so from everything I've read and what I understood this is just below nutritional ketosis. At first I was super upset about it cause I've been doing this 7 months... that just didn't seem right.…

Happy March! Well, the meter came in but the ketone strips are still in limbo. So I had to test it out comparing it to my old monitor. It read 97 last night compared to the 92 on my other. I opted for the Nova Max plus. Slightly cheaper than the other brand. I don't like the lancet, my other was ouchless (silicone dipped)…

It's the last Tuesday of February! @midwesterner85 That's one big cat!! I'm totally impressed with your selfie skills too! If I attempt a shot like that it would be a blur scene of me getting attacked by the cat! I know a few friends with cats that are diabetic and another one that's asthmatic! So the whole thing about…

Monday is back! My weekend was crazy!! Saturday was an all day training for work. It was fun, I enjoyed it. Lunch was provided... so I fasted. Sunday was the big day for my daughter she finally got a phone. Well I got a new phone, she got the one I had (it was a cheaper option! Lol). Why does going into the Verizon store…

I've always been interested in starting crossfit. Haven't jumped onto that boat just yet though

Normally I'd have my Guinness and Bass for Black and Tans.... that's one down side to Keto. I don't drink usually during the rest of the year but St. Patrick's day has always been that one night!

Happy Friday!!!! After a whole week of beautiful weather it's now raining and colder. Boo! No walk for me today. I'll be stuck inside at work with cranky kids. Then home with my own cranky kids! One has the stomach flu and was home sick yesterday while me and the youngest are pushing through this week. So the weight is…

Happy Thursday!! My meeting was cancelled last night due to lack of staff. Lots of call ins and people getting sent home due to illness. It's bad. I got my lunchtime walk in which was lovely! My experiment is still going on. My scale did show a loss but not anything dramatic so I've still got to wait and see what happens.…

Wednesday is here! It's the halfway point! This week is going pretty quick. Tonight will be rough since I've got to stay for a meeting. My time between finishing my scheduled day and the meeting will hopefully be going for a walk! I managed to get one in yesterday on my lunch which was awesome for me. I can't believe this…

Nope. I meant actual Keto adapted this and fat adaptation are two different things. You can be fat adapted and not be in ketosis. Eating carb heavy can have an effect on your ketone levels anywhere from 12 to 48 hours later depending on all kinds of different things. I'm not using urine strips, because I've been at this so…

Hello Tuesday!! It's another day!! We can dig our heels into the week and tell it that we will make it through! Last I remember @RowdysLady was having a rough spot... man! I hope she's lurking somewhere! Or comes back soon! @midwesterner85 You've certainly been a busy bee!! Glad you made it home after a crazy busy week!…

Monday. I double checked. It's definitely Monday. For those of you who get an extra day added to your weekend... I'm super jealous! I'm having my morning coffee and trying to plot in my head how I'm going to to manage this week. It's a long week ahead with late meetings and a training on Saturday. Bleh! How about that…

Sunday is here! It supposed to be another nice day! I really enjoyed being outside yesterday and it going to be just as nice today!! I've also noticed that my whole n=1 is going very well! The weight is still going down not as fast as when I first started but it's going down!! I'm going to update my weight here on MFP and…

Not sure if this will help any... I was listening to Keto talk yesterday and I hit the episode where they discussed the fact that a Ketogenic diet will normalize testosterone for both males and females. They also discussed that as you are losing those fat deposits they will release estrogen into your system. This in turn…

Happy Saturday everyone! Two days off! And I might be able to enjoy some outside activities today! That would so make me a happy camper!! Still sticking to my no Splenda. This morning brought me back down to the initial weight I had from the start of this. Not complaining since it's a loss! Have a great weekend all!

Happy Friday!! Well my n=1 continues... this morning my weight is up by a little bit. I also ate a late dinner and I know that's going to mess with my numbers a bit. And it's only the second days results so no towel throwing yet! I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep with no alarms waking me up in the morning. Better…

Happy Thursday everyone! So the mac truck that hit me yesterday has passed. I felt awful yesterday. Sinuses have been full since last weekend, but yesterday it was the worst it's been and triggered headache, dizziness, nausea... I thought I was going to die! This morning it's back to sinuses and general bleh.. so back to…

Yeah I like my coffee with HWC and Splenda. I can drink it all day if I let myself. Today (I'm home sick with the plague) decided would be the no Splenda start day. I had my coffee with HWC and a squirt of the liquid stevia. First cup was bleh! The second cup I used less stevia and it tasted better. I hope this works!!

Wednesday! Halfway through the week! So I'm attempting a n=1. I've been stalled for so long I'm certain something needs to change. The first item to get removed from my diet? Splenda! I went off it awhile back but went back to it because I couldn't find a sweetener that tasted good to me. I love my coffee and tea. But I…

Happy Valentines Day! Last night I meant to do my sons cards and my bags for my class... instead I cuddled with my son and fell asleep. I slept a full eight hours and it was a good sleep too! Now I've got to get all this done before I go to work! Oops! My back is calming down finally. This morning it's downgraded to being…
