Yup! I'm with Mary. My meals are FULL of fat. They taste lovely and I've dropped more inches using fat as fuel than carbs ever did. I ran my marathon fueled on fat (could add in more carbs because of the extra exercise and not get out of ketosis) Plus I don't get the munchies. Fat fills you up. Keto has been the best thing…

I try very hard to stay under 20 g of carbs a day but sometimes those carbs just call to me. I'm getting better about just snitching 4 french fries from the grandkids than eating a whole bag of tortilla chips though! lol I have noticed that it is easier and easeir to get back into keto if I fall off the bandwagon and I…

My 13th grandchild was my step-mother's 113th Grandchild. No kidding. She is 85 yrs old and when my youngest grandchild was born it made 42 grandchildren, 53 great-grandchildren and 13 great-great grandchildren for her. A couple more have been born since then but I'm not sure how many. !!! The amazing thing is that in…

Those kids NEVER smile, they hate having their picture taken so I was happy to get solemn. I never tell them to smile because then you end up with hands over their faces. lol Everyone likes the last one with the teary baby but oddly enough the other baby is the one that actually screamed through the entire event. We did…

Had the annual grandkids photo taken today. Walking in with 13 kids you see sweat form on the photographers brow and panic cross their face. It went well. We understand there will always be crying babies, goofy faces and deer-in-headlights looks. As long as you go in expecting that it's all good. I told everyone to wear…

@elize7 I totally get the "this is home place". I visit a couple of different threads. One is super super active, we are talking over 100 posts a day easily. Mostly chit-chat. It kind of drives me crazy. I find myself going there less and less because I don't do Facebook or any social media for a reason and that thread is…

She's right. I don't focus on the scale. I weigh once a month is all. BUT I measure. Every two weeks I take tons of measurements.* neck * right bicept * left bicept * chest (above boobs) * bust * bra strap line * thinnest part of waist * around the middle at my belly button * around my "pooch" which is 4 finger widths…

I told all my children the same thing. I raised my kids I do NOT want to raise my grandchildren. They all care for their own children or have made arrangements to have them cared for if both parents are working. I will babysit and watch for Dr.'s appointments and the such. They usually pay a babysitter if they are going…

Grilled chicken breast with pico and guacamole topping for dinner. I could put avocado or guacamole on everything.... wait I just about do! Spent the day tilling the garden. Getting it ready to plant. I want to have seedlings in the ground by the end of the month and have my beans planted. Spring is about to be sprung…

Glad you all enjoyed my bugging you... :p

Shannonigan that is FANTASTIC! Congrats!

Always good to be "ahead of the game" My sister waited until she had to have the knee replacement and then found it had to be delayed until she lost some weight. Definitely gave her incentive. So ahead of the game I try to stay.

Lol. Love the sass @elize7

[quote="bwcetc;c-41386176" Hearing loss... I began losing my hearing at the age of 19 and am technically considered deaf, hearing only 6% of spoken conversation. But that's in a hearing test setting. In the real world, very few people recognize that I'm deaf as I've become very good at word prediction and reading lips ...…

Odd as it sounds this makes me feel better. I’m not the only one struggling! Okay everyone we have to overcome this slump!

Does anyone have some good keto crock pot recipes they'd like to share?
-
That is absolutely FANTASTIC! I love going with measurements over weight, it's a more visible record for me. Congrats and keep up the great job! Now send some of that stick-to-itiveness over to me so I can post results instead of grandchild pictures. lol Planning on a big Sunday dinner with the family but it's keto…

Illness, rain, stress ... it all has run its normalcirse and put me off track. So back to it with gusto! I really got lazy after running my marathon and haven’t exercised much so I joined the Run The Edge challenge of running/walking/stepping 2018 miles in 2018. I’ve done it in two previous years so I know it’s possible…

Went out and paced off new garden space. I plan on getting the tiller out tomorrow. About 2 weeks to planting the cool weather plants. I’m usually too late to get them in. I’m determined this year to get them in the ground by the 20th at the latest! Marcelyn Thinking spring

I don't call it a diet, it's a way of eating, and VERY easy to follow. Tastes darned good too. :) Fat is my best friend. Marcelyn less than 20g of carbs a day....

Been a little busy here. I was headed off to go downtown for a concert and had to run into the back yard to get something and saw a burble of "water" coming up from our septic system. Once again the tree roots had broken a pipe. I debated ignoring it as I really wanted to go to the concert but instead got on my boots and…

Quite late in posting this. Back in December I ran my first full marathon. I've always stuck with half marathons up to this point. I did the Brazos Bend 100 Marathon. My son, who is in the picture with me finished the 100 mile run. The picture is of us when we crossed paths. I was around mile 11 and he was at about mile 30…

I did a full marathon in December and I do Keto. I found that I could eat more carbs during the race (take advantage of those snacks) and stay in ketosis. In fact if I didn't I got too low in blood-sugar and got dizzy. My race had all sorts of stuff out (mini pumpkin pies no less). I'd stay away from gels because they're…

Oh gosh I'm in quite the slump. Holidays, travel, cold weather, sickness. It just all piled up and I got out of "keto-sync" and it's like I'm starting all over again but without much motivation. I seriously need motivation. Marcelyn in the land of psycho-weather (17 degrees Tuesday, 70 degrees yesterday)

Allie, so sorry about your dad. What a blessing that you had him for so long. I pray that your time of grieving is sweet and full of the many good memories you have of him.

* Finally got Christmas taken down and packed away. * making my "to-do" list * * Make set of bowls, ceramic roses, two platters and some flower pots * Master the Chopin piece I've been ignoring * Plan the garden, planting only 4 weeks away! * Increase my running distance, goal to 5 miles 4x a week or a minimum of 20 miles…

This is what 24 cubic feet of wonderful grass fed organic beef looks like. Loaded and ready to drive across the country. The joy of having family in the beef business. It was worth the long drive on snowy roads (from Wisconsin to Texas). Plus I got to enjoy seeing my sister, helping on the farm, getting manure on my boots…

Totally got lost in busyness and haven't logged. Plus I took a trip to a non-keto family member and honestly relationship is more important than staying in ketosis in this particular situation. The best thing is the trip was to pick up grass-fed organic beef. We brought back 24 cubic feet of beef plus some pork.…
