LOL well eating wise I'm doing well. Getting into a "routine" helps and makes it easier to deal with the larger meals with family that comes up. However met with the cardiologist due to my insane cholesterol so the stress is in another place right now. ;) Luckily, he's all for the lifestyle changes I've made and is behind…

My calcium channel blocker can make me retain water like a son of a gun if I'm not careful but even then it's only been 5-6lbs. Maybe talk with your Dr.'s nurse and see if they have advice.

I apologize. Are you legit mad over this or being facetious? Cause I mean yeah it's annoying but I make due because, you know, it's not up to them to take care of us.

No lie, if I've been working out or sweating a lot, I smell like butter. It's the weirdest effing thing ever.

Sweet, thanks!!

This here. I added a Magnesium Citrate supplement every other night and that really has helped!

Well it finally happened. The better half made pancakes before I woke up and I just offended him by not enjoying any of them. On a happy note, he's at least cleaning the kitchen...*sigh* No this isn't a hill to die on thing but it's just frustrating. I'd love to be able to do "just one" but let's face it, that isn't gonna…

I've gone through a few but I think it's time to make sure I go through EVERYTHING. LOL I'll still have questions just fair warning. ;D

Thank you guys for putting up with my crazy, it's really appreciated! The over feeding idea was to not have to worry about eating during the day so I could enjoy a nice full dinner of steak and shrimp. With butter. Mmm...butter. But I think y'all are right (duh). Just back off on this stuff now and just plan better for…

I try to stick around 35 (average). Though every so often I spike with about 80 but always try to keep it under 100. Yesterday was one of those days and I can't tell you why, the body was just being a jerk LOL.

Sounds good, thank you guys so much. It's really appreciated!!!

Okay this is a self serving post and I just need someone to kick me in the hind end and tell me to quit being so damned paranoid. I’m averaging 35/10% net carbs (with a couple spikes a month of 65…hello halotop). I’m generally small on the keto strips. I’ve lost almost 40lbs. The afternoons are amazing anymore compared to…

Yesterday I got 10 of 14 hour step goals done. Seems like the 9am and 2pm hour are a little iffy so aiming to improve that today and tomorrow.

I'll have a spike 2 days before ovulation and then again about 5 days before menstruation. I'll have a minor dump the day after ovulation and then a major one the 3rd day of my period. Which in it's self is new since my period used to last 5-7 days and since starting this WOE is now 3 consisting of cramps from hell, a…

Holy heck thank you. I was starting to freak out, again, that I'm doing this wrong! I had a gal try to sell me her keto crap because there was no way I was in ketosis at 35 net carbs. I need to trust my body and remember that we're not all the same physio wise. I am thinking I need the breath checker though, it will help…

I've been doing really badly in terms of movement since I gave blood on Monday. I'm used to taking it easy the day of but ended up in a really bad "crash" mode on Tuesday. :( I'm not sure what I did wrong since I made sure to hydrate/fuel on Sunday and Monday. But Tuesday all I did was sleep (literally wake up, pee, eat a…

This so much!! I wish I'd have read up on things earlier but this group helped me get on the smart track with this WOE.

I'm addicted to Ghee in my coffee right now. I grossed my dad out by doing it (I called it my fat smoothie) but holy heck I agree with you, I'm so glad I tried it. :D

Tagging in since I have this as an afternoon snack a few times a week and it seems to help me get over that mental "I need sugar" thing my thoughts try to trick me into.

Ohhh Goat Yoga time!!! :D <3 <3 <3

I got my hourly steps done and was spot on with my macros yesterday. Today is bowling (maybe) and errand running so not gonna get much else done. Such is life huh? Tomorrow's check in should be good though. I'm hoping accountability's scale is following mine. ;D

Well the good news is I'm getting my hourly goals in (the get up and move for 250 steps). That's already increased me 2000 steps more than I was getting which is kindof cool. The weather here has been doing odd stuff to the sinuses/allergies still. I'm trying to not use it as an excuse but holy heck Kansas, stop burning…

Well I'm still here but ended up sick as heck (just sinuses/allergies) so my step counts suuuuuucked for 4/8 - 4/10 So did my eating. Of course I keep on keeping on so I'm doing much better today. Calories weren't terrible but my carbs were. Since I'm feeling better today, getting my 20-30 minute walk in and doing some…

All Hail HALO TOP!!! I'm so danged happy I found it since iced milk is seriously not the same. Though I have to be careful since I can still eat it like a you know what. I can't give up my peanut butter. I have switched over to natural peanut butter with no added sugars but I know, I know, legumes are bad. *sigh*

You guys are seriously rocking it! :D Thank you for the inspiration!! So the bloodwork came back and my blood sugars (morning non fasting) are down to 86. I'm so happy!!! She told me just to stick with the women's multi for now since my potassium and B12 were good. I'm keeping the MagCit around for if I feel that drop…

4/3 I got my steps, went for a little walk and did some yoga so YAY!! Did pretty good on nutrition (Cals/Macros). 4/4 I'm on task with all the goals so double yay. ;) I still haven't heard anything back from my doc in terms of other nutrition stuff but I'm feeling less icky since I've upped my magnesium.

*waves* Okay this weekend was bad (I was under 100 net carbs yesterday but barely). I know today is going to hurt but I'm still here. Active April Goals: Carbs - Back to under 40 net 7500 steps a day (shoot for more) Yoga w/Adrienne April schedule 3x per week. I'm waiting for blood work to come back to see where I need to…

I'm printing this out and keeping it on me at all times. ;D Thank you!!

Okay I'm only three months in but what I've observed so far is that it's settled at 21 days (I wavered between 19 and 27 days so I like the pick a damned number and run with it) and it's dropped to 4 days instead of a week. I'm going to keep tracking this since I've seen what the lack o' fat did with it. Supposedly, this…
