Time for a B and A
I’m finally seeing some small results. It’s been 12 weeks since I first weighed in and I’ve lost 21 pounds (still not to my lowest weight after my first round of keto, but getting closer! Left: Top weight before keto, Right: a month ago. I’m back on the keto journey. I’ve been IF for a […]
18 week update = 35 pounds gone!
Well, it was good news and bad news at this follow up doctor visit. The good news, the challenge was to lose 2 pounds per week and return in 3 months. It’ more like 4 months later due to scheduling issues, but I met the challenge thanks to the ketogenic diet plan! Yup, in the […]
One month update – 16 1/2 pounds gone!
Well, it’s a month since I posted, and first, let me say a big thank you to all of you for the kind thoughts! I’m still going strong and I’m down 16 1/2 pounds. It’s the not quickest I’ve ever lost, but it’s steady and I’ve kept between 20-23 grams of carbs per day – […]
Starting all over again, Day 1
The keto plan was the answer to my weight-loss prayers: I lost approximately 40 pounds in around 6 months. And then I started fooling around… Well, maybe I’ll have a couple of pieces of toast. How bad could it be? Boy, that pizza crust looks great. Maybe this one time, I’ll eat the entire piece […]
Day 6: Better, not great
Saturday progress: Brunch – coneys (ate the buns and about 10 fries) Dinner – Steak with onion cream sauce and a side of cauliflower mashed potatoes. Delicious! That’s it. It was a short day, and I hit the hay early. Since I’ve never done “low carb” and only strict keto, I’m not even sure how many […]
Day 294: Perfect keto day
Total weight loss: 41 1/2 pounds Monday morning and I started out with an egg/sausage/cheese breakfast bowl lovingly made by my hubby. Lunch was leftover keto-friendly lasagna. After work, we went over to the sold house – again – to do ONE MORE load of last minute “junk” from the garage. Rick swept the garage […]
Day 291: Italian restaurant – chicken piccata
This week’s weight “loss”: +.5 pounds Total weight loss: 40.5 pounds Today was weigh-in day. I gained .5 pounds since last week. I’m not thrilled, but I’m used to the ups and downs. In order to keep my spirits up, after weighing I put on the smallest jeans I own…and they fit. That made me […]
Day 290: Successes and failures…and lessons learned
Total weight loss: 41 pounds Breakfast – skipped I took my breakfast bowl to work, but our morning meeting went so long that I wasn’t hungry for breakfast by the time we got out. My friend Wally called unexpectedly and invited me to lunch. I decided to wait to eat until then. Lunch – Big […]
Day 288: Oops, cheat lunch at Chinese restaurant / excellent keto-friendly lasagna
Total weight loss: 41 pounds We finally decided not to go out to breakfast. Just too costly. Rick made my “breakfast bowl”: 2 eggs, 2 sausage patties, cheese, and Taco Bell hot sauce. He puts it in a bowl, and I reheat, chop up, and eat at my desk. MMMMMMMM. Thanks, honey. I was going […]
