A change in plans – no more daily blogging about keto
If there’s anything I know about myself after all these years, I know I’m obsessive. I want to stay on the keto plan. I want to eat perfectly every day, and I want to blog about my successes and failures in order to throw myself into this wholeheartedly. However, I also have a lot on […]
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 1: Starting fresh
You know what they say about falling off a horse…get right back on. In total honesty (which is what this blog is about), I have screwed up my plan, gained weight back, and feel like a slug. I guess I could hit myself over the head a few times, get mired in despair at my failures, […]
Day 193: Weight loss success!
Today’s weight loss: 3 1/2 pounds Today weight loss: 35 pounds Wow! Today’s weigh in made me very very happy. It isn’t a record in terms of amount lost – I haven’t weighed in 3 weeks, so a pound a week average isn’t really exciting. However, this weight loss is significant in many other respects. […]
Day 151: Weigh-in…nothing to report
Today’s weight loss: 0 Total weight loss: 29 1/2 pounds While it’s disappointing to see no progress on the scale, I keep seeing the inches coming off. After some crazy carb consumption this week, including the sad state of affairs from last night that I am about to report, zero looks GOOD. At least it’s […]
Day 149: Staying on course and some looser clothing
Total weight loss: 29 1/2 pounds Yesterday was hump day. I awoke feeling pretty bad about the unplanned carb meal from the night before. Then I put on my pants…they are looser! What is it about this illogical event that happens when I eat carbs? Afterwards, I seem to lose more pounds that week, or […]
Day 130: I hit the 30 pound goal!
Today’s weight loss: 5.5 pounds! Total weight loss: 31.5 pounds!!! EUREKA! Finally! I know it’s probably just me, but 30 pounds finally feels like I’m seeing some real progress. It’s just a numbers game in my head, but I’m pretty happy with today’s weight loss. After working hard to keep under carbs, it’s nice to […]
Day 110: Surviving the disappointment
Total weight loss: 20 pounds. Today’s results: +4 pounds Next weigh-in: Saturday, May 5th Egad, that was a huge let down…a FOUR POUND gain? I know it’s all water weight (I can feel it!), but PULEEZ, one bad dinner and a finger-full of donut creme shouldn’t cause that much weight gain! I’ll keep on keeping […]
Day 62: Birthday party again
Weight loss: 15 pounds; next weigh-in: Sat., Mar 17th I woke up the day after cheat day with no appetite and a huge stomach. I decided to have a light breakfast, so I ate a low-carb blueberry yogurt. We attended our granddaughter Danielle’s birthday party at noon. I made some chili/cheese dip to take, but […]
