Unplanned rest day today. Stress is messing with my sleep really bad. Normal bed time is 10 and even with melatonin, I didn't get to bed until after midnight last night and slept horribly. I'm SO tired and worn out and that's even after having caffeine. Just taking today to rest... physically and hopefully mentally too.…

/HUGS You got this. I'm sure the 16lbs will melt right off once you're back to it again. I know I always bloat up so much if I end up cheating a bit too much.

Can't get to sleep. Mind is racing on how I can get a small jump on teaching my daughter multiplication. I mean some of it is pretty easy though so hopefully she'll pick up on the easy parts quick and it won't be so stressful tomorrow. FX! Thankfully my mood got a bit better earlier. I'm still having doubts, but I'll work…

I am having some mood issues today. Might be stress related again (seriously... I think trying to get my daughter to do the little bit of school work is causing my stress to go up more). Was feeling good and happy earlier after I worked out, but the bad sleep I've been getting has caught up with me and now I'm just having…

PHEW 2nd day of 100 strides on the elliptical was A LOT harder. I bumped up the resistance by 2 (from 3 to 5) and that made it A LOT more difficult. By the 500 stride mark, my legs were done. Time on it today was 23mins which still isn't too much more than it was yesterday, but more bc I couldn't do like I had done…

DH is outside finishing up the kids' desks so have a little time. Food today was pretty good. Had 2 cheese quesadilla's for lunch along w/ a couple of nacho cheese quest chips. Had like 2 baby pickles for a quick snack, then dinner was about 5oz ribeye and stir fried veggies. Also had a quest chocolate chip cookie.…

184 on the dot this morning, but I forgot to weigh again before I ate. I also haven't pooped yet today either. Took digestive enzymes w/ my dinner last night and well, they're definitely helping. Mushrooms usually go right through my system but it's staying put and getting digested like it should hopefully /nodnod OOO DH…

Hope you're doing ok jade /BIG HUGS

Welp, this morning's official weigh in weight was 183.8! WOO! It was 186.something just a few days ago so yay :) Definitely not OMADing today though. IFing still, but dinner last night didn't sit well in my stomach. Not sure if it was the chipotle mayo or the lettuce that caused issues but well.. it didn't sit IN me for…

110hr fast. Holy smokes. That's impressive!! Hope you're still doing ok!

Awww, I'm sure it's gonna be weird with all the kids in school, but you'll adjust just fine I'm sure. Maybe come up with a new tradition? Instead of eating think of just something else you enjoy doing. Maybe just go sit on a bench in a pretty part of town and enjoy the peace and quiet lol. /shrugs Or hell, enjoy that…

It probably is the added exercise causing a stall. Just keep doing what you're doing :)

I noticed the other day that both cats were infested again. The fleas hid well until there were too many of them to hide. I moved our heavy as sin couch and cleaned under it well (that's where the kittens like hiding and sleeping). Thankfully haven't seen any more fleas in the bathroom or anywhere else, but I'm sure it's…

Vol- Lol yes! I always go in too far over one side or the other so have to back up and straighten up in to the spot a couple of times. I mean I guess that's better than just leaving the car all crooked though like some people do. OMG I'm sure I would've backed up in to someone by accident if we didn't have a rear camera.…

Vol- YES! You understand! lol Although we did have to buy 2 out of 3 kids new clothes. My poor older boy outgrew like all of his stuff so definitely needed more even if he was remote learning lol. And my daughter well... I can't resist buying girl clothes b/c they're adorable :P But she also seems to be going through a…

Woops, forgot to add, We're rearranging 2 of the kids rooms. Did my son's last night (the older son). Thankfully that was easy b/c he's actually been keeping his room somewhat clean. My daughter's room is next though and I'm procrastinating like crazy. It's not.. super messy, but it's messy enough and cluttered and…

Still have a voracious appetite, but I've been doing pretty good at picking better choices so I'm not eating like 5k calories a day lol. My weight has gone up a pound though. I THINK that might be b/c of the mushrooms I've been eating. They don't exactly sit well in my gut, but I've been taking enzymes to help with it so…

WHEW My appetite is really high right now. I fixed some chia seed pudding that I snacked on, but I needed more so ate some cheese and salami slices too (all after dinner). I could've easily eaten the entire mason jar of the pudding I made. Easily. And dinner was big too. Sauted broccoli and zucchini w/ 2 sirloin steaks…

Oh I forgot to update here too lol. So my weight this morning was 187 on the dot. That's down just over 4lbs which I'm more than happy with, but that's still up about 2-4lbs from where I was before my giant stress filled cheatfest lol. 4lbs may have come off even if I had just gotten back to regular keto too though so…

I hope you're doing great and OMADing is giving you the results you're wanting :)

Oh I'm jealous of your vacation! Sounds like you had an amazing time. And I hope your mom is healing up ok! Heck yeah with only 2lbs gained on vacation and now 3lbs lost! Kick a--!

WOO! Congrats getting in to the onderlands!! I definitely know how you feel about not feeling like there is any physical difference. Don't worry, it WILL happen though. Just one day, you'll look in to the mirror and will have to do a double take b/c suddenly you'll notice there's a difference. When I first started all of…

vol- I hope I can! I just have to reign it in though and have to remain pretty darn strict (in terms of not allowing unplanned cheats). Today is day 3 of my egg fast and so far so good. While I'm not sick of eggs, I am ready to just get back to my regular diet. But just one more day though. I can do one more day :) I did…

Back to it finally. Daughter's birthday and youngest's birthday were this weekend. Lots of cake and ice cream lol. But yep... finally back to it today. Doing an egg fast. Started it off today w/ a chaffle made with 2 eggs, 62g of mozzarella, monk fruit, vanilla extract and topped with some SF syrup and some butter. Yummy!…

Ok.... kittens!! Not the best photos when they're awake. They're definitely in full blown PLAY PLAY PLAY mode right now lol. Finally got them both off the bottle and eating on their own. Although I've been using this kitten 2nd step formula stuff that hubs got from Petco. They seem to enjoy it though so... whatever. Will…

Yeah... I think we're done with big dogs. At least for now while the kids are still small. It's like.. yeah.. a chihuahua can bite, but they're not going to do the damage a rotty or lab or some other larger dog will do. Rock was a good dog and just had a bad moment, but that bad moment did a lot of damage b/c he was a big…

FX for a better week. It's back to keto though. Actually going to kick it back off with an egg fast. My kids birthdays are this weekend so it's just going to be a week back on, weekend cheat, then back on it again. My weight.. I know my weight is WAY up there. I was stress eating like CRAZY last week and I'm so bloated b/c…

Geeze. Seems like dog bites happen a lot more than anyone thinks. Thankfully daughter has been fine since Wed. Back to her old little 7yo attitude self lol. And youngest son is back to his old self too.. just with some added medications and smearing stuff on his nose while it heals. Kids definitely bounce back faster than…

Thanks you 2. The guilt over it all is really eating me up. Thankfully my son is doing ok though and hopefully his nose will heal up with minimal scarring. Last few days has been completely draining though. Daughter got a fever on Monday? She had a pre-op (for her dental sedation) appointment at her pediatrician and was…

They got home around 10 last night. My baby boy was woozy and bandaged up but ok. Got a look at his nose this morning and it was the nostril skin (on the outside) that was holding it on. It looks good though. Looks a little swollen and obviously all stitched up but it looks good. DH just went off to get more stuff to take…
