Hey friends! Sorry we kinda fell off the face of the earth a while back. Something got kinda messed and we just like, forgot to check in here or something. 😿 We kept doing our goals & stuff, except one day last week everything blew up & we lost control & binged.😾 But we were back at it again the next day, except for…

Thanks for sharing this, @baconslave. 😺 We haven't been checking in for a while, somehow it fell off our routine & we kinda forgot all about it. Still stuck to our plan, mostly, but the month was not 'perfect'. We got nearly there, but last week things kinda blew up & we lost control & someone binged... carbs & calories…

We're still not able to get back here every day to check in. Yesterday was super-stressful with work stuff, and normally that kind of thing triggers us to want to eat. It didn't this time, and we wound up not eating at all till later than usual. Despite the other issues, we've managed ok for week 3. Jan 20: 1) Carbs < 30g…

So, looks like we forgot to check in here again the past few days. 😾 Luckily we've been tracking stuff, cos I can't even remember what we've been up to, lol. 😸 Like waking up from a 3-day bender, except we don't drink or take drugs. 😹 Jan 17: 1) Carbs < 30g - ✅ 2) 1000 < Calories < 1500 - ✅ 3) Log Everything! - ❌ 4) Hit…

Hey @melmerritt33, we do 'mostly carnivore' here and we're feeling pretty good. Usually the only vegetable stuff we have is like, leafy greens? Just like, a handful of spinach with breakfast, and a handful of mixed greens with dinner. Today we had like 10g of carbs, but half of that was from ham & eggs at breakfast, and…

Checking in for Jan 16th. Another on-plan day. I'm kinda hoping we can get through the whole month without messing anything up, just so we can say we did it for a month. 😸 Like, I could say I've been at it since Nov 25th, but I know we had 2 'bad' days in December, so I can't really say we've been good since November. 😿…

Sorry we've missed a few days.. not sure when we last checked in. We've been sticking to plan but by the end of the day we've been very discombobulated & memory isn't as good. Had some difficult stuff today & faced some different temptations, but we found some activities to keep the hands busy and the mind distracted from…

Thanks for sharing that link. Happy to see we're already doing most of those things.

I know we've missed checking in for a couple days. More 'bad brain stuff'. Despite that, we've been sticking to plan and getting our workouts in, kept carbs down, and calories in the target zone. It's the end of week 2 today, so we wanted to make sure we checked in today. 1) Carbs < 30g - ✅ 2) 1000 < Calories < 1500 - ✅ 3)…

Early check-in for us today cos we closed our diary early. 😺 It was warm today, and its been raining hard all day long. We went out for another walk anyways & got soaked! 😹 It was a nice walk tho, mostly. Too bad its all supposed to freeze tonight. 😿 Jan 11: 1) Carbs < 30g - ✅ 2) 1000 < Calories < 1500 - ✅ 3) Log…

Jan 10th checkin: 1) Carbs < 30g - ✅ 2) 1000 < Calories < 1500 - ✅ 3) Log Everything! - ✅ 4) Hit our activity goal every day - ✅ 5) At least 5 workouts/week - ◼️◼️◼️◻️◻️◻️◻️ It was warmish so we got out for a nice walk through the park & ravine. Supposed to be even warmer today but there's a severe rainfall warning so…

Our January 9th is done. It was a bit of a slower day, we didn't have the energy for our normal morning workout. We did get a lighter workout in the afternoon though, which was enough to meet our goals. 1) Carbs < 30g - ✅ 2) 1000 < Calories < 1500 - ✅ 3) Log Everything! - ✅ 4) Hit our activity goal every day - ✅ 5) At…

This has become like one of my favourite breakfasts! Cos its tasty & also its super easy to make! 😸 Its just eggs, fried with a bit of butter (I like em soft & runny yolks 😸) and then in another pan we toss some shaved / shredded ham & some baby spinach, in with some melted butter. Season it all with salt & (cayenne)…

@chickencereal We love getting out in nature as well. 😺 There's a ravine & park nearby, & lots of trails that are great in summer. I don't remember hiking recently but maybe we did lol - I'd hafta look in our journal or excercise log. 😸 This time of year its more like "trudging thru ice & snow & freezing wind" but its…

We've wrapped up our first week of January. Today was all right - nothing bad, nothing great. Stayed on plan, though our carbs were a little higher today due to some extra vegetables. January 7: 1) Carbs < 30g - ✅ 2) 1000 < Calories < 1500 - ✅ 3) Log Everything! - ✅ 4) Hit our activity goal every day - ✅ 5) At least 5…

Day 6 is done for us - been kinda sluggish today but we managed to hit our activity goal & went for a walk/hike in the snow to get our excercise done. It was abit of a chore tho. 😼 1) Carbs < 30g - ✅ 2) 1000 < Calories < 1500 - ✅ 3) Log Everything! - ✅ 4) Hit our activity goal every day - ✅ 5) At least 5 workouts/week -…

Couldn't check in yesterday, cos of brain stuff. 😼 We stuck to the plan tho, & did the logging & stuff. So today is a double check in. 😺 Jan 4 we just went over on calories again but otherwise were good: 1) Carbs < 30g - ✅ 2) 1000 < Calories < 1500 - ❌ 3) Log Everything! - ✅ 4) Hit our activity goal every day - ✅ 5) At…

Day 3 is done for us. We went over a bit on calories, we were hungrier than normal today.

Day 2 check in! It was a really stressful & difficult day for us today. 😿 There were a couple moments we were tempted, just cos of the stress & emotions & stuff. But, we didn't give in, & stuck to the plan. 1) Carbs < 30g - ✅ 2) 1000 < Calories < 1500 - ✅ 3) Log Everything! - ✅ 4) Hit our activity goal every day - ✅ 5) At…

Checking in for January 1st - our day is done! 😸 I don't remember if we ever explained this btw but we check in 'early' cos its whenever we close our diary for the day. We do intermittent fasting, 2 meals a day, & normally our 2nd meal is like 3 or 4 pm. So we're usually all done with any kinda food by like 5pm, and then…

Happy birthday @baconslave! Sorry you're still sick tho. 😿 We hope you're feeling better soon!

Last day of the month is done for us! It was ok, kinda quiet. Kinda looking forward to another quiet day tomorrow too lol. 😸 Dec 31st: 1) Carbs < 30g - ✅ 2) 1000 < Calories < 1500 - ✅ 3) Log Everything! - ✅ 4) Hit our activity goal every day - ✅ 5) At least 5 workouts/week - ◼️◼️◼️ (last three days of the month) I'm too…

We've decided we're just gonna keep the same 5 goals as we had in December since they're working ok for us. 😺 1) Carbs under 30g total 2) Calories between 1000 & 1500 3) Log everything 4) Hit our activity goal every day 5) Workout (min 30 minutes) at least 5 times / week We've done pretty good at checking in daily too,…

Thanks @chickencereal! And congrats on your successes, that's great! 😸 Our day today has been abit better. Still dealing with some fallout from yesterdays problems, but we did ok sticking with our goals & stuff. And I managed to cook something new today without burning it or finding some other way to mess it up! lol. 😹 Dec…

We forgot to check in last night. It was a "very bad brain day" yesterday. However, we did stick to our goals. Dec 29th: 1) Carbs < 30g - ✅ 2) 1000 < Calories < 1500 - ✅ 3) Log Everything! - ✅ 4) Hit our activity goal every day - ✅ 5) At least 5 workouts/week - ◼️◻️◻️ (last three days of the month) @chickencereal good job…

We would be up for this but we've found our body can't quite do it. When we did a month of strict carnivore we ended up with unbearable constipation. For now we're about 90% carnivore... that's a guesstimate but on average we only consume 50 - 60 grams of raw spinach per day, and mainly use it as a garnish to meat. In fact…

Hey @baconslave, we hope you & the rest of the family are feeling better soon! 💜 Day 28 is done for us! 😺 Hit all our goals today, and made it a perfect 7 for 7 on workouts this week! 😸 1) Carbs < 30g - ✅ 2) 1000 < Calories < 1500 - ✅ 3) Log Everything! - ✅ 4) Hit our activity goal every day - ✅ 5) At least 5 workouts/week…

Dec 27 check-in. Exhausted today, dunno why. 😾 Maybe cos all the big stuff is finally over. We got our activity in and just barely managed to get a workout done. 1) Carbs < 30g - ✅ 2) 1000 < Calories < 1500 - ✅ 3) Log Everything! - ✅ 4) Hit our activity goal every day - ✅ 5) At least 5 workouts/week - ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️+◼️ We hope…

Checking in for Dec 26th. 😺 Today was our family's big get-together dinner thing. There was ham, potato caserole, corn, & i forget what else... and our sister's a great baker & made a big cheesecake for desert... and our mother had candies and chocolates & stuff out too. 🙀 But we stayed on plan. Just had some ham & skipped…

We're in! 😸 Keeping up with the December challenge has been really good for us to like stick with the resolve and determination & all that stuff. The daily check-ins help us stay focused. 😺 Probably gonna keep the same set of like goals & stuff as we have for December, but we'll finalize that in time for the 1st. Still…
