It's Freaky Friday! Can I just say how glad I am that this week is nearing the end? I want to really do the happy dance out the door from work tonight!! Scale moved this morning! Yay! I have been fighting those stomach tearing cramps all week, so I knew it was coming. I even had them lower on my c-section scars this time!…

And you can get bulk trinkets and such from places like oriental trading post online too! My daughter always gets excited about pencils and erasers. She's also the kind of kid who will still have a full bag crap from the previous year in her closet!

It's Thriller Thursday!! Yup it's that crazy day again! Numbers will be high at work again... People are back to being stressed out after the rumor mill let the news out of our new staff member being let go. Pure joy! Another restless night for me. Not sure why but the last two nights I've been tossing and turning. I'm…

It's Wicked Wednesday! Sounds like my break time walking may be at risk due to weather for the rest of the week. I've learned to love my mid day walk. I'm much happier and less stressed when I have the chance to get out. My egg issue lasted ALL day! It was terrible! I peeked in the kitchen and all I was able to notice was…

Ugh.... I was running a tad late this morning so I skipped my BPC. I was happy to see the breakfast at work was scrambled eggs. So I ate a bowl. Since then I've been nauseated. Wtf. Tried ketoaide, tried a pickle. Now I'm drinking a Diet Coke hoping that the bubbles will either get me some relief wth burping it out or…

Today is Terrifying Tuesday... My bloating dropped this morning! Thank goodness. If I hadn't listened to all the 2KetoDudes podcasts and learned so much of the science behind this WOE I'd like be throwing a fit. Instead of throwing in the towel and saying that this just isn't working, I'm patiently watching the numbers as…

It's Hardcore Monday. Woke up bloated and bleh this morning. WTH!! Everything I ate yesterday was on plan I thought! I'm thinking my lunch is suspect. It was leftovers from the fridge and I think the lightbulb just went off! I made Keto taco meat while the family had packaged taco meat. There were leftovers of both but…

I have no idea what it is about the formula. Honestly once I was able to single out what was causing the spikes I put it down and haven't gone back. I can say that both Coke and Pepsi don't taste anywhere as sweet as the ddp does and I think that should have been a clue to me!

Cooked two packages. The family ate one package, I put the other in the fridge. Trying to think what I will do with it..... I'm planning to make cheddar broccoli soup maybe add some to that?

I have my secret stash in my room for evening nibbles when it hits... I mix coconut, dark chocolate and almonds. Like eating an almond joy. Just in a trail mix version!

I found that diet Dr. Pepper causes sugar spikes for me. Diet Coke or Pepsi have no effect. I've tried the La Croix stuff but it still has a strange un-natural taste to me. I'm good with most seltzer waters that are flavored though.

Sugar free jello!! Yeah I know, technically not to plan. I've had no spikes with it though so for me it's great!!

Every darned month I try to stick with these challenges! So, here I am again!

It's Bacon Sunday! Every Sunday we cook up tons of bacon.... Mmmm. My usual weekend craziness will be scheduled for today. Laundry. Cleaning. Typical stuff. @RowdysLady and @supergal3 thanks. I'm not going to rush into any decisions. I did however get a round about question directed at my daughter and she clearly made it…

It's October 1st!! Another rainy day here for me! It's really put a damper on my step goal for the week. I did hit my personal best though! September ended on a sour note for me. Had a fight with my family and now I'm really having to takea step back and figure out my options. I'm currently living in a large house with my…

It's About Fracking time Friday! Yesterday was such a long day. I don't know if it was because of the dreary weather or what but it dragged. It also could have been the fact that I couldn't get my walk in at lunch because of the rain. I tried and got a ten minute walk with a slight soaking as I just made it back to the…

@samanthaluangphixay keep at what you enjoy and you will be great! @Cynsuccesd welcome aboard!!

It's "Will this week ever end?" Thursday! :lol: I thought we were having a good day yesterday but apparently my partner in the room didn't! Once she gets in a bad mood it's over. I don't even know why she had such a mood change. Oh well! Nothing I could do but grin and keep going. It's my early in day so hopefully I can be…

Happy Hump Day! Wednesday is here. Halfway mark for the week and the craziness is upon me at work. I've been doing great this week with positive thinking and not letting the stress get to me but today and tomorrow are the crazy days. Lots more kiddos, and more things to get done. Thankfully they did hire on two more staff…

I always make sure that when I am putting something in my mouth it has some kind of fat in it. My coffee? It's either a BPC or regular with hwc. Foods I'm cooking have fat added to them, either bacon grease which lives in a happy container next to the stove top or butter. My focus has always been to keep carbs as low as I…

Mmmm Sautéed mushrooms and peppers. Salt and pepper grilled asparagus "Steamed" zucchini and onion off the grill!! This one I think is my current favorite make a foil packet filled with sliced zucchini and onions drizzle with olive oil and place a few slaps of butter in there and season as you please. Plain salt and pepper…

I'm not eating anything past 9pm and have my BPC made anytime between 6 and 7am depending on my work schedule. I'm slowly drinking that for an hour or two! Then I'm usually good to go until about 6pm! I'll then eat a full dinner at 6 and enjoy a snack between 8 and 9. I've got to sit do wn and really dig into the how to's…

It's Turn it up Tuesday!! Still swimming through shark week. Ugh. It's been a viscous cycle this month! I'm experimenting with IF. I know I'm not doing it right because I have a BP coffee in the am. I could probably count it more of a fat fast to include it. Then ketoaide for the rest of the day until dinner. I'm not…

I haven't been logging my foods lately either. I've been experimenting with IF and I hate the food diary yelling at me for not eating enough. I did log foods daily to begin with. And even then I'd get the occasional "you aren't eating enough". I keep attempts here and there to log what I eat but I'm not the best. Lol

It's Monday again.... Back to work we go! Yay!! I'm going to fake it till I make it this week! I'm pushing the good attitude good vibes to survive. Once again My weekend was go go go! My steps were up yesterday so I met the 5k goal I set for myself. I'm doing great during the week for my 10k daily but this week I'm going…

@Sunny_Bunny_ thank you for the link! Going to order one asap! Ive been looking into ordering a new meter!

Survival Sunday.... I survived shopping with the kids!! Yay! I struck out on exercise equipment nothing that I could use which fit my requirements. Eh. My daughter scored on a bunch of things. Even my son got some new shirts. My highlight was scoring some Himalayan Pink salts at Burlington! A refillable grinder and a huge…
