    Thank you.

    It's going to be in the 50s here today...would have been nice to go for a walk, except the 20+ MPH wind gusts. Guess we'll watch a video tape for exercise.

  • Sum38, wow, you are doing great! What kind of diet are you doing?

    I haven't lost anything yet, but next week I will see if the scale shows a loss, I just started doing the cabbage soup 7 day diet.

  • January Goal: 91.55 (-2 kgs)

    8: 93.55
    9: 93.15 (yay! Home-made chicken soup with tiny dumplings is light enough to work for suppers)
    10: 92.8 (that drop may be attributed to lack of sleep, not the healthiest way to do this work)
  • Don't have time for personals today, but still wanted to check in really quick. Weigh-in was 287.8 today, so back down slightly but still not settled back down from the gain. Hitting the water harder today, and we'll see where we are tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a good day!

  • Everyone is doing great so far...keep it up, you guys!

    My quick update: took it a little easier yesterday, because 3 of 5 of us in the household are starting to feel a little under the weather...hoping to stave off any real sickness before it settles in, fingers crossed! (Think it may be too late for my husband, who is already pretty phlegm-y and was the first of us to show any signs of illness. Which doesn't bode well for the rest of us, booo.) Weigh-in this morning was 285.6, so that is a relief. That fluctuation seems to have settled back out to where it would have been all along by now. Hope the scale isn't just toying with me!

    12:230.8 (but a bit constipated. Today is the end of my first week on keto, I will be sure to include a lot more cruciferous veggies in my diet next week. I feel a lot more alert but I need to work on going to sleep a bit earlier)

    Total: 8 lbs
    Meal prep today! I will break my fast around 3, so let's see how it goes. Also, I will be meal prepping today and on the menu is paprika chicken legs and thighs, steamed broccoli & cauliflower, grilled salmon in lemon & butter, salad leaf mix with simple vinaigrette (as lunch/dinner), garlic parmesan chicken wings & macadamia nuts (as snacks), peanut smoothie, eggs with veggies (as breakfast).

    In terms of how I feel, I am a lot more alert when I wake up in the morning. Within a minute of opening my eyes, I am ready to start my day. My tummy has gone down significantly but my boobs have increased a bit and are slightly sore. I did some poking around and found out that its because of my hormones adjusting to the change. I'll continue to drink water and eat more cruciferous veggies and observe what happens. I'm starting intermittent fasting today and will break my fast around 3 with the usual omelet with veggies. I am trying 16-18 hours fasting with 6-8 hours feeding, let's see how that goes. I have 1310 calories to consume, so I should be okay.
