The general population doesn't care to learn about keto and simply perpetuates every bad thing they've ever heard. 8 years ago I had a registered dietician tell me it was dangerous and not sustainable. This was just her opinion, not from any reading or research she had done. My boss also gave me a difficult time about…

I normally do really well with food. That is until I have a heavy mental load. With so much on my mind the past week, I did things like eat oreos for breakfast one day. Now that I've conquered a few demons, I'm back into my routine. A beautiful day today means I can get outside for a walk.

Back and tricep work at the trainer's on lunch, mobilize/yoga tonight before dinner. need to carry that momentum forward.

4/12/24 Struggling to get on here daily or do any activity before work. NEAT is going well though and pre-logging my food. I'll take it for now.

4/9/24 Do 20 min of ANY workout in the morning before starting my job-nothing today Continue with my strength training- mini sets of shoulders, tri's and bi's throughout the day Add some outdoor walks weather permitting-walk planned after work More daily NEAT (get back to setting an hourly alarm on my phone to MOVE)-less…

4/8/24 SW-178 CW-176 GW-172 Do 20 min of ANY workout in the morning before starting my job-got in10 min Continue with my strength training-trainer session at lunch today Add some outdoor walks weather permitting-hopefully tomorrow More daily NEAT (get back to setting an hourly alarm on my phone to MOVE)-so far so good Log…

My mood is going with the gloomy weather and it's been harder to feel motivated but here are my April goals. Do 20 min of ANY workout in the morning before starting my job Continue with my strength training Add some outdoor walks weather permitting More daily NEAT (get back to setting an hourly alarm on my phone to MOVE)…

March ST 177 CW 175 March GW 172 My goal for the month was to move more and I did for sure yesterday. Strength class, a walk then yoga. Not bad for a Monday. Work is still causing some annoyance but no anger or urge to binge so I'm ok with that. Ready to incorporate some additional strength and cardio into the rest of my…

I've officially reached the age where I tweaked my knee......walking down my stairs. That is all.

Work continues to be my primary source of stress and roadblock to my progress. Last week was a huge fail on all my goals. I did have a great weekend to reset and refocus and yesterday was a nice easy workday. I did my strength training at lunch then to a yoga class before dinner. Today I'm a bit sore in the shoulders so…

I strongly agree with the AWARENESS. That's probably the biggest part for me. Half of my Feb was impacted by a cold and all of Feb impacted by stress. I am the one who has to change that and must be aware daily of notable daily differences in my mood and mindset. Yesterday I did a double workout and feel it today, but it's…

Did a good leg workout at group training last night so I'm going to be sore for a couple days. This part I don't mind. What I don't like is I've been run down and now have a cold and feel miserable. I need to make some soup.

2/21/24 Planning ahead ✅ Staying under carbs-aiming for 60 net or under daily ✅ Logging and measuring ✅ Getting in exercise/movement at least 20 min a day-Getting in about 3.5 hours for the week just not 20 min/day. Jan SW 179 Feb SW 175.5 CW 174.5 Same as last week (but down from 177 on Sunday LOL) Feb GW 171 Still…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 let this be the final one on your road to recovery!

Doing all the things, will weigh in tomorrow and do a status check on goals.

@baconslave and @Megan_smartiepants1970 Happy belated birthday to you both. My bday was last Sat, the last celebration of 2023 (I don't care about NYE lol). I did eat ALL the cookies with no regrets. I did also gain 5 lbs and while my clothes fit, they are not comfortable. I was back eating better Monday and working out…

Back to logging every bite this week, I had gotten out of the habit and it shows. I worked out Monday and nothing since, have just been so tired. Wondering if I'm fighting off a cold or something. I'll get in a mix of cardio and weights at lunch.

Had my weigh out for the fall challenge at my trainer's. I gained half a pound but lost a couple inches so I'm ok with that. I got my workout room back to normal after my sister's visit and I think it's set up better this time for both strength and walking videos. I upped my carb macro slightly to allow for some…

Participated in the end of a fitness challenge at my trainer's on Sunday. Sore today but worth it. Food has been good this month for the most part. Still working on getting meal prep done. Like everything else in my life, I will have to add it to a list if it's going to get done.

I'll be increasing my vitamin D to help me get in a better mindset for the next two months. @baconslave you are a younger version of me (bday 12/30) so I truly get your holiday history and vibe. I also share my bday with our oldest so I try my best to carve out some me time during all the hoopla. For November I must make…

@taylok23 I am right there with you, this month has been quite a disappointment. I gotta rein it in and stop making excuses. @Megan_smartiepants1970 you really can't catch a break. Hopefully hard cast is the answer.

Seems like every time I set some intention, life gets in the way. Last week was a workout and food bust with our last camping trip of the year. @baconslave I know you can relate! Back at it with workouts yesterday and with logging/meal planning today. Going into the office once a week is also throwing a wrench in my lunch…

My October goals include sticking with 150 + min of intentional movement, continuing wit C25K and pre-logging my meals each day. Now that I have some tech issues resolved, I should be able to sustain this.

I have to fit in some sort of workout today but am feeling time crunched. Food still good and not wanting to graze all day, so that's a win. Made a nice little keto protein dessert this week that's a keeper for when I'm short on protein and of the day. Almost like chocolate frosting LOL 2-3T plain greek yogurt 1T PB2 1T…
