I made my BPC this morning with Mocha coffee beans.... Totally sinful!!

We are halfway through.... Welcome to Wednesday!! Still hanging in there! Successfully too. I'm down yet another lb this morning, one more to go and I'll be caught up to where we were prior to the weekend carb fest. As motivation I've also gone back and started listening to 2KetoDudes from episode one. My drive to and from…

Hi Mandy! Welcome to the group. I'd also ask what your overall goal is? If it's just to lose weight and you have no underlying health issues low carb is wonderful. if you do have health issues such as diabetes or immune system issues I'd point you directly towards to Keto part of the spectrum here (50g or less daily). It…

I saw that in my feed this morning! Ugh. That was me and cashews. So sad to see those leave my diet list! Hang onto them and test the theory out. Unless you are 100% sure. You were smart to buy them in bulk, just the timing of the discovery was off! On the other side hopefully you have found the culprit and you no longer…

I'm in the same boat as you @SuperCarLori I'm stuck at the need to quit and even the want to quit stage. I have terrible panic attacks when I make the attempt. It sucks! Tried chantix a few times with no luck, that stuff turns me evil. Maybe I should give it another go. Time to stop at the grocery store after work to stock…

.....You ask the cook at work to keep a juice container of pickle juice for you in the kitchen. .....You keep a container or sugar substitute in your room as well as a container of salt for your drinks.

Morning all! It's Tuesday I did surprisingly well yesterday being back in the saddle. No temptation and not much hunger either. I did have a spell early in the morning that was quickly corrected with some Keto-aide. I did notice some major bloating and stomach rumbling in the afternoon and evening. Not the hunger rumble,…

It's Macro Monday... So post carb fest the other day I am currently going through my Keto notes and tidbits of information that I've picked up along the way. My plan for today is to keep my fats number one priority and tonight I'm going to re run my macros and try my best to set up an actual food plan for the week.…

Happy Sunday! This seems to be a new habit of mine missing my Saturday post. We were up early yesterday to go to some community events. Then spent the rest of the day moving furniture. Still have to finish reorganizing but I was spent by the evening hours. The kids and I ended up getting pizza for dinner. My plan was to…

Congratulations! Hard work really does pay off!

@RalfLott I actually made to decision to back track and start listening to them from the first episode yesterday.

I've been listening to 2 Keto Dudes the last few days since I fell behind on the podcasts. I was in the same boat as you thinking I had to eat even though my body was saying nope! Anyways they were discussing the effects of carbs and insulin and true hunger. Nutshell is that it's not until you are in ketosis that you…

It's Embrace it Friday!!! Well, we just have today to make it through and the weekend is here. This week flew by! I like it when that happens. So I am flying through another full week of no loss shown on the scale. The last time this happened I admit I freaked out. This time I'm embracing it! I'm going to measure on Sunday…

If they turned around and changed what they've been telling the public all this time the big businesses would pull their funding while at the same time the sudden onslaught of lawsuits would be insane! What would happen then?

Good morning everyone! It's Thursday already... Yesterday was kind of a bleh day. Didn't get my steps in, or my exercise. Went to work, went to my appointment and on the way home was feeling icky. I made it home just in time as my stomach decided that it was time to evict its contents. Guess I'm not completely over the bug…

@RowdysLady how that piercing doing?

It's No rest for the wicked Wednesday! In to work early today then leaving early for my appointment about the apartment search and assistance! Hopefully all goes well so I can get my oldest kiddo to calm down about the whole thing! You know that saying "if it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all"? I swear that's…

It's Take me back to work Tuesday! I think I have figured out part of my back pain. My sleeping position. That or the way I'm sleeping is irritating it. So the long weekend is done and over with. Spent most of the weekend feeling sick and bleh. Then yesterday was picking up after letting the kids tear the place up because…

It's Make it count Monday! I'm finally feeling better this morning and need to make up for the last two days of being lazy! I've got a ton of cleaning to do today and more laundry of course. Guess I'll just be moving as much as I can to get my steps up. Have a great day! @Phrick great minds think alike!

I just made to most Delicious soup ever!!!! I used my bone broth to make a broccoli cheddar soup. I ate two bowls after feeling sick all day! But man! That *kitten* was good!

Amazing!! I'm placing you up on my when I grow up board!!..... Cause one day I wanna be I. Those shoes of yours saying I met goal and conquered my major medical hurdles!!

It's Sorry for missing Saturday Sunday!!! LOL Good morning everybody! Yesterday of course was a super busy day. So much that I never logged in here yesterday. So long 55 day log in streak! My boy has been in the last stages of potty training and has been dry for the longest time. So he wore underwear to bed. It was super…

Autumn!! My favorite season of them all! Winter? Nope nope nope. I love the first snowfall. I love snowdays when you don't have to leave the house. Driving during a snowstorm? I can handle it, just not the idiots who have no idea how to handle to the icy snowed over roads! I LOVE apples! So not sure how I am going to…

Okay my NSV that I just have to add today. My collarbone! Sounds so stupid to put here but it's something that had made me smile since yesterday afternoon. I've actually been irritating my skin because subconsciously I've been feeling it and rubbing it because I'm just so dang happy about it being noticeable!!

Hey everyone! It's Freaking Friday!!!! Finally!! Just have one day left to survive. My partner in crime is off today so it's just me and our new lady in the room. Hah my partner told everyone yesterday that I'm either going to kill someone or quit today if things don't go well. That kind of week! I'm hopeful since I peeked…

Dang! I'm late to the party! Kept meaning to come back and post yesterday but didn't make it! Step ItUp challenge! Oh how I love this!! Weekday steps I'm pushing to 13k a day! Weekend steps is much less sitting at 5k I also have been increasing my exercise but currently sidelined until the muscle in my back calms down. My…

So funny and true! Balancing on the change of season and being stubborn about buying any new shorts! My favorite pair is size 18 and so I'm spending the day pulling them up all day long! I agree on cell phones or anything heavy in pockets being dangerous! At least the weather is going to be cooler today so I can put on a…

It's Thank goodness the week is almost over Thursday!! I'm surviving this week by a thread!! Most of my goals have gone to pot but I've been able to keep up on my steps and eating. Stress is winning out on everything else. I'm carrying all my stress on my back right between my shoulders. Leading to a lovely knot/muscle…

Viral infection which causes blisters and sores on the hands feet and inside of mouth. Mostly a childhood disease but adults can catch this.

It's Wednesday!! Halfway through the week, I'm still moving and I haven't strangled any co-workers! I'm calling this a success! Got on the scale this morning and it's up to 119.8 but I've still wading my way through shark week so I'm not freaking out. I've also been using my little weights and getting my exercise along…
