Day 25 is done for us. Not a great day, but we got thru it. 😼 We missed our carb goal by like 500% lol... someone just had to have pizza for breakfast again. 😾 MFP says we just squeaked under the calorie goal but with all the carbs I feel like we overate so I marked an X. 😾 We did log everything tho. And we tried to make…

Dec 23 is done for us. Its been an ok day but feeling very tired now. 😾 And I couldn't finish dinner... so I'm not sure about calories for the day. I think we probably got over 1000.

Thanks for the hug @baconslave! 😸 Their 'cheat day' yesterday went ok - lotsa carby food & snacks & stuff, but they didn't eat all the stuff they wanted. I dunno if our stomach got smaller or our body got like allergic to carbs or something after 4 weeks of keto? Whichever, there were tummy aches yesterday so about half…

Thanks @canadjineh. :) Our resident 'cat' isn't around today... :blush: but I'm happy to say her plan has been working perfectly. She's been eating keto for almost 4 weeks without any temptation or cheats. Today we're going to have a planned cheat day & she made sure she wouldn't be around for it. I'm kind of embarassed…

We're up for a January Jumpstart! 😸 In the past, the last week or 10 days of december has been a time we kinda cut loose & binge & stuff... but considering we kinda had many months of that up till November, we're hoping to get through this month as close to target as possible. Tho we will have a 'blowout' day this…

Today has been a very ungood day here. :cry: Its been one disaster after another. Buncha stuff went wrong with work, and then trying to make dinner was just one long disaster. I was following instructions, set the timer for 30 mins then check with the meat thermometer? So after like 30 mins I think, the timer hasn't gone…

@herblovinmom NEAT is Non Excercise Active Thermogenesis (i think?) which is basically, any activity you do that's burning calories but isn't like, actual excercising or whatever. Like just walking around or fidgeting or being extra active during the day kinda thing.

This is maybe nothing special but my first attempt making something 'new' and it was soooo yummy I wanted to share! :smiley: Its a porkchop, diced, and fried in a bit of butter, then tossed with some spinach & seasoned with salt & (hot) cayenne powder.

Lol so V1 tried to get me to make a stirfry for breakfast this morning. Like, that used to be a daily thing for us in the past, spicey pork stirfry for breakfast almost every day. I made it but... blah. :tongue: It wasn't yucky, but there's like way too much not-meat & like, I don't really wanna eat that stuff lol. I dont…

Thanks @chickencereal, Unfortunately we also have experience with the not-so-great aspects of all of this... DID is a traumagenic disorder, and many (most) people with DID also have PTSD. That's where most of our problems lie - not with being multiple, but with the flashbacks, trauma responses, etc associated with PTSD.…
