Hi WannaBe!

Welll the pistachio nuts I had on vacation were not salted and I could eat a few and be fine, but Costco has these salt and pepper ones and The hubby and I knocked them off fast. I think there must be a salt connection...

I guess I didn't save my last post....oh well...

I'm not doing well at all with weight loss and for some stpid reason, I'm having bread with my eggs for breakfast. And I picked up a sandwich for lunch yesterday . Healthy eating otherwise, but food choices that don't promote weight loss (for me), and eating windows that are too long. My stretches between meals are 5-7 hours, so I end up eating breakfast early and snack/dinner late. Angry emojis here, but the anger only comes around the next day...the day of, I'm just tired and not hopeful about weight loss.

My focus is divided by the home decluttering bandwagon I'm on, and lots of work stress... some guys are involved in a bit of nasty misappropriation involving equipment that was purchased and used by me and my group. Spent a sweaty day retrieving it from an auction house. It's easy to predict the future on this one: these guys won't even have a finger shaken at them, and I'll end up with the bad reputation .....men ...ugh... Anyway.... Excuses don't melt fat, so time to pull up my fat girl panties, stop smh, cryin' in ma beer, etc and just get on with it....

Sorry, y'all. Forgot about this thread.

Had a major bump in my Atkins journey. Came down sick with some kind of flu-like thing. Could not face eating meat or fat or anything remotely atkins appropriate. So I ate crackers. Lots and lots of crackers and diet 7-up. Luckily (haha) I was so sick that I ended up losing a bunch of weight anyway. I was also coming off TOM so I'm sure that played in, but I dropped about 3lbs in 4 days. Got back on track yesterday, but couldn't face anything more adventuresome than cream cheese. So that's all I ate all day. An 8oz pkg of cream cheese. Had bologna for breakfast today and that went ok. Hopefully I do as well with the meatloaf and green beans at lunch.

I've been having weird out-of-the-blue hives on my hands and/or feet lately, and I think I've finally nailed down the culprit. Diet soda. So not only does it stall my weight loss, it also turns me into a giant itchy mess. Great.

Well I fell off the wagon, and rolled all the way down a hill. Felt awful when I got home (not 100%, then had to work on a/c units at a couple of my houses) so I did my usual feel better move...ordered a pizza. The only redeeming piece of information is that I didn't even enjoy it and only had a couple pieces. At least I know now that it doesn't really make me feel better. Maybe I'll be stronger next time. My own fault for not eating enough today, hunger makes me stupid and grumpy. My net carbs are like 100 () but at least my calories are still within my goals. Back on the wagon for me!

Hi Monte,

Well I think I saw you rolling down the hill I was on. Yep! I fell off the wagon too. I've been having company and they are such a bad influence. I did discover sweet potato chips and they are good.

But starting fresh tomorrow.

Well Hi All,

I'm really truly back in the ring, ready to get this WOE going again. Man I'm ready.....

Today is and AIP day featuring turkey burgers in turkey broth with onion, and carrots and beets baked with bacon grease on the side. I'm gonna try and fit into a 6 hour window today.

Hi everyone. I've come back from holidays a little heavier than I'd like, major sleep and eating style disruption. I'm going to be resetting my system with whole30/ keto/intermitent fasting and all the rest and all the best stress-management work I can muster. Probably only a bit of muscular workout moves here and there while I adjust to this WOE. I saw a great "Big Think" video on youtube about weightloss, and winter" for the body that got me inspired and thinking of doing something different from strategies I've had before.
