Only dropped .3 lbs this week but still down 11 lbs in a month. We made keto pizza today using almond flour. It was yummy.

I think 10 pounds per month, lost, is a good average or rule of thumb.

Good job!

I will have to ask about the almond flour.

There are two specialty pizza places near here that might actually do something special for their dough.

Yeah...feel good about progress. Less calories, more activity and a good keto plan for meals are doing it.

I goof’ed up a few days ago...went grocery shopping on an empty stomach.

That was my first mistake.

Second mistake :  buying dried fruit to snack on/nibble on.

I got around to looking at their ingredients list this afternoon.

Mother&@$# !!!




They added sugar.

Dried fruit is supposed to be “healthy”, right?

I also reintroduced coffee with real half and half cream and real cane sugar.

But at least this time, I used an actual measuring “cup” teaspoon to add sugar to my coffee.

Three months ago, I would have been like this:

I eliminated sugar. Unsweetened tea and coffee only. Takes a week to get used to...

And "healty" snacks are really bad if you look at the numbers. Take a look at how many carbs are in a banana...

I'll join you guys on this journey!

Background:

36 years old
5'7"
On Jan 06 I weighed in at a very unhealthy 221.4 lbs.
Was 165 when I graduated high school in 2002.

Started KETO, which I have been very successful with in the past.

This mornings weigh in, after three weeks of strict eating, not one cheat meal yet was:

210.6 lbs.

I lived my younger life in the gym from high school until I was around 32-33.  Gym will be re-introduced once all of the first of the year new year's resolution types get out of there.

Looking forward to it!

Goal:

Would love to get down to 185 ish, but as long as I am just healthier and can keep up with my active 4 year old more, I will be a happy man.

Eh.. I'm in.

I'll weigh in first am tomorrow and set a target.

I've been trying to add mass with weight training but I'd estimate that I need to cut about 20lbs now.

Down exactly one pound this week. That's 12 pounds total in five weeks. I'm continuing to eat Keto friendly foods and walk a good amount every day.

Don't have a weight scale currently at my location. I traveled 2 days this week so didn't eat "healthy". guessing I'm down 0-2 pounds this week.

Working on getting a scale.

Down to 161.6 this morn, down from 166.6 at the start.

Really just trying to be more selective in what I eat, and eat a little less of it.

First night in a while with no bourbon, not making it a habit though.  Mmmm, bourbon.

Things aren’t looking good for tomorrow’s weigh in.



This past two weeks I have been on nights.

I guess I end up doing a lot less walking on nights???

I can’t keep my pants up.



Seriously, I was on the last hole on my Carhart leather belt.  Then I switched to my old velcro 5.11 belt, but that can’t cinch down tight enough.  I have another smaller 5.11 velcro belt that I could try.

I am thinking about sewing buttons onto all my jeans/pants and going with suspenders for the time being .

The last time I wore suspenders was with my white parade pants on Wednesday 01 JUN 94.

Nothing quite like having a perm-a-wedgie .

I've hit a plateau at 250.  
But I feel like my pants are way looser.   Not sure if I've lost girth and gained muscle.   Or just not as bloated.

Today was THEEE day.  Back at the sleep doctor’s office and their scale said :



37 pounds lost in 10 weeks.

I was hoping for an even 40.

Oh....well...maybe next time.

EDIT:  10 weeks.

I can’t maths.

Stepped on the scale at my work’s locker room today.  It is one of those old time scales like from a doctor's office... with the weights you have to slide over.

Got home snd the digital scale says:



So it is good go know my bathroom scale isn’t as sketchy as I thought.

ALDI has a keto friendly bread for $3.79.  It’s hard to describe but it tasted like a sponge.  Since I spent $3.79, I’m just going to use extra mayo and mustard to help choke it down.

Thank you!

I’m trying!

I will have my moments of weakness.

This past week/weekend has been absolutely hectic/shitshow at work.  I’ve been doing a lot of walking:



which burns a lot of calories :



Breakfast at home is four eggs, scrambled, with shredded  cheese and cubed ham. (Plus a more natural Hunt’s ketchup and pepper)

At work, breakfast is a chicken breast maybe two if I have time.

Lunch is a pork steak, maybe two.

Cooking my “dinner” now :



Probably eat two tonight with some Heinz 57 sauce.  I’ll save the other two for tomorrow.

My girlfriend had chocolate in the house.

And I had a craving for alcohol.

That’s my story, and I am sticking to it.  

I came to the realization that if I am really tired and/or it is late a night, I get the munchies.  In my tiredness, I can’t resist.

This morning I learned when your pee smells like butter it's an indication of ketosis.

Good.

I am at 244.0 as of this morning.   For a total of 20 lbs lost.  Which is about the weight of my plate carrier set up.

Despite barely no exercise outside of daily activity and having a cheat day every 12th day (I eat meals at work, every 12 days it's someone elses day to cook).

As soon as the gyms open up, I am going to start lifting again.  It has been interesting to see the numbers decrease and know it's fat lost opposed to losing fat but staying the same weight due to muscle gain.

I have been staying low carb with the intent of going into ketosis.   I have not been shying away from fats.
With intermittent fasting a few days out of the week.  

On days I am not fasting,, I only eat when I am hungry.   Breaking away from standard meal times.
