Welcome to the beginnings of being fat adapted!! Carbs are a limit! Protein is a ceiling. Meaning you have a cap to reach up to if you want but remember excessive amounts of protein you body takes in get converted to sugars. I'm almost positive the goal or max per meal is between 20 and 30. Fat is your filler. The more fat…

Happy Saturday!! It's the weekend! Yaaay! I know I was exhausted because I slept for 9 and a half hours! Lol. I did wake up at my normal four am time but said no way and went back to bed. Shark week is here on top of everything else going on. Bleh. On a good note there was no gain with it. Just a much smaller loss this…

Friday! It's Friday everybody!! The weekend is so close I can smell it! Actually I think that's the rain I can smell.... pressure is dropping and rain/snow is moving towards my area. Am I going to be lucky enough to get my walk in today? Have a great Day today people.

Happy Thursday! It's getting even closer to the weekend! Yaay!! Work dropped another bomb on us last night. *sigh* Both me and my partner in the room had a quick heart to heart about the state of the school and our feeling on it. It felt pretty good getting my stress off my chest about that topic and surprisingly she's…

Happy hump day! Wednesday already! I'm really looking forward to the weekend. Sleeping in (hopefully) and getting some cleaning done! Haha really I just don't want to go to work today. I've got a bunch of paperwork to go through for my insurance tonight. I've been ignoring it. Part of my issue is that the cost went up this…

You can add me as well!! Welcome to our group!

Welcome!! My first bet is electrolytes. It could also be a case of sneaky carbs! Or a recent "oopsie meal/snack". I know I've had carbs sneak in and had a sudden decrease of energy.

I use the pink salt myself. Love it!! Crazy as it is today my swelling has gotten even worse! Usually my rings are super loose but one is almost uncomfortable tight! Although I did realize that since trying to monitor my actual salt use from my container I haven't been mixing it with my nu-salt! Dumb bunny!! By trying to…

It's Tuesday!! I'm struggling with my salt! Made a thread just now looking for ideas... this morning was my worst waking up swollen! This weeks goals already took a hit :disappointed: I neglected to log anything. I just went to sleep. I was having a pretty bad day and just straight up exhausted. The two major need to work…

Happy Monday! Back to work today. If my out times are anything like last week I will be a happy camper! Goals today: get my steps up!! Get my salt up! Record my drinks in my food log Stay in a good mood! Have a great day everyone!!

Happy Sunday!! I managed to get eight hours of sleep! Fell asleep early. Lol My monitoring water and sodium yesterday showed I'm not getting as much salt as I thought. I did remember to log my water. That's as far as that goal goes! Going to try harder to get that sodium again today.

Morning everybody It's Saturday, the weekend is officially here! This weekend I'm planning on measuring out some salt and actually monitoring how much I'm using throughout the day. I've been experiencing swelling in the morning and trying to figure out if it's a sodium/potassium issue. I'm also planning to keep track of my…

TGIF!! Woke up... I'm admitting defeat. The germs win. I'm sick. Still no rest for the wicked! Must finish off today. Tonight will be bed early and an attempt to sleep in on Saturday!

I think the busy week is just catching up with me... one more day of work and it's the weekend. I'll do my best to try for some quality sleep tonight....

I've been dragging ALL day!! Can't shake the tired! Coffee is not helping, just got some broth in me and that gave a quick 5 minute refrain from this fog but didn't last. Now I'm giving some diet my dew and HB eggs with LOTS of salt a go....

Good morning everyone! It's Thursday! Another busy, crazy day! After my late night at work with my meeting I'm up early for my open day at work. It's rough. I at least know I'm leaving early today to bring my oldest to the dentist then later on it's conferences for her school! Phew! Somehow I've got to squeeze in a walk…

Yup! You got me! Thanks for the add!

Good morning everyone! I'm at a loss for words. Stayed up watching the polls close. Woke up... and well.... Long day ahead of me. I've got my late work day and what has the potential to be a long meeting afterwards. Have a great day all!

Has anyone started a step challenge for us LCD users? I'm working on another challenge group so if you all want me to start one I will! I'll start adding you all for now!

Oh! Oh! Me too!!! https://www.fitbit.com/user/4BHMCV Totally up for it!

It's Election Day! Ugh. It's Election Day. So I guess be careful out there today. It's going to be a crazy day I tell you. I think I'm coming down sick. I've got all those wonderful cold symptoms. Just in time for a super busy week. I'm not happy. So I'm pushing for the rest of November to be a non slip month. I've got my…

When I say uneven floors... ridiculous granite tiles that nobody in their right mind should have ever installed! They are a *kitten* to clean because of all the crevices in them. So the habit was born of stepping on and off a few times to make sure you've got a level spot!

Thanks for the tip! I use the hot to brew the tea. By the time I add the rest its cooled.

I have them separated. Different rooms, different floors. It also helps the tape measure is kept to n my pin box. So if that scale comes looking it's in for a surprise!

I just restarted using ACV. I make a super strong container of fruit flavored tea. 1quart hot water with 4 bags tea. To this I add 4Tbs ACV. Then I ad 1tsp each of coconut flavoring, orange extract and banana extract. I also add some sliced ginger when I have it. Top off with another quart of cold water. Shake well serve…

The scale and I have come to terms.. we've got an agreement if I'm honest it will be happy to let me know what it believes to be true based on my uneven floors. It also confessed to me that I need to develop a better friendship with the tape measure downstairs. However the tape measure and I only get to see each other…

Happy Monday! It's this first week of the time change which always is rough for me. I up at 3, scared to fall back asleep since I've got to work and I just know that second wave of sleep if I let it happen there's no way I'd be up and moving. So up I am! I fought a brave battle last night against the chocolate. In the end,…

I'm being stared at by a snickers bar and it's friends.... My pork rinds are my shield!! Give me strength!

Fall Back Sunday!! Hope everyone remembered to set their clocks back last night! I'm scared to think what the halftime shows looked like! Our kids get sent home or suspended for showing their shoulders at school but the cheerleaders are fine to just wear body paint!? SMH. So I woke up all snuffy and sneezing must be…

Saturday has arrived! And I'm up! I got myself over 7 hr of sleep which is awesome in my world!! My fasting #'s were awesome, 86. And I slipped below last weeks loss! I'm a happy camper! Pain wise everything is down to dull. So I'm looking back and really starting to think that fasting is off my plate. I really was hoping…
