Keto Strong

I am still kicking it with keto! I haven't fallen off the face of the earth either. Just focusing on my knew lifestyle.

I am not going to lie... there's times when I CRAVE one thing or another, but I haven't CAVED!

I don't miss bread or pizza or fried chicken, BUT I do miss POTATOES! French fries, fried potatoes, bake potatoes, potato salad, mash potatoes.... did I mention I miss POTATOES?

Today, I wanted a tortilla. Everyday I do miss something, but then I forget and that craving thought disappears from my mind.

My knee pain is at a 1... 1 being hardly any pain. I remember at the beginning I was really hurting. Getting up from my seat caused me pain. I would limp from point A to point B. I seemed to only complain about my knee on a daily basis.

I got rid of my favorite pair of jeans. I wanted to cry when I wore them one last time and knew I would no longer be able to wear them, unless I would find myself mooning the world.

My weight loss is has been slow, but it is moving down!!! 19 pounds exactly!!!! I wanted to quit at one point. I got so frustrated with my weight stall. I had to go back and remember my keto basics. My youngest sister has been on keto since February and she is one pound away from losing 50-freaking-pounds!!! I am so proud of her.



Until later....

Two Weeks... Done ✔

It's official.... two weeks in! Longest commitment to myself! I kid you not.

I felt exhausted this morning! I literally felt as if I had just closed my eyes and had to get out of bed the next second. I dragged my butt out of bed, grumbling to work.

I snapped out of it around 10 this morning.

I was grateful for pushing myself to make my lunch last night. It had been an emotional day.

Now I am going to keep up with the blog daily. I hope it doesn't get too repetitive.

Until tomorrow!

Keto Day 9

What can I say? I am feeling better. Knee pain is back to a 4. The ankle pain, gone.

The leg cramps nearly took over this morning, but I was able to stop them from happening...whew!
I feel as if I am sleeping better. I almost didn't want to admit that on here. I fear that my little smugness, may back fire. (CROSSING MY FINGERS)

I have been trying to drink my Bullet Proof Coffee without sweetener. I succeeded today. it did not taste good, but neither do I want to depend on sugar of any kind. I want to limit my intake on sweetener as well. Let's see if I can keep it up.

I seem to have my attitude in check. Not quite as irritable. I have had my moments, but few and I quickly bounce back. I don't feel as exhausted either. I usually have a crashing moment around this time, and am usually burned out. Lazy. Not right now. I feel like moving. Gasp, that's unusual for me.

I'm going to get something done, before this evening is out.

Catching Up Days 5/6/7

Keto fail on Saturday.... this post for days 5 and 7 are coming in late. 

 

Day 5

 

I had a meeting Saturday for work and I was just a bit pissed I had to attend on an early Saturday morning when I could have been attempting to sleep late.

I was not prepared and the training session offered bananas and a choice of powder donuts or chocolate donuts. I ate the lesser evil, a banana, but with a hit to my carb intake with that... 27 carbs. Come night time I was starving and ate McDonald's which gave me a double fail that evening.

I was miserable after my cheat meal.

 

Day 6

 

I lost 2.9 pounds on Sunday. If I say I was disappointed I will sound like two pounds didn't mean anything, because it does! 2 pounds down is my beginning to a healthier me!

I won't beat myself over that cheat meal. I am done take a swing at myself for a slip up.

 

Day 7

 

I am kicking ass. I am not so irritable, but Mondays are usually a drag to my life.

My knee hurts less. 10-1... I am at a 4.

I need to be careful until after work tomorrow. I have not prepared for my meals this weekend. I need to go grocery shopping, with a list. Tonight I meal plan.

Keto, Day 4

Finally for once, I don't feel so irritable. Whew!

I do have a crazy headache. I haven't taken any medicine to dull the pain.

The pain in my knee is lessening even more today. Pain 0 to 10, 10 being the unimaginable pain, I am at a 5. That's less than when I first started a few days ago.

I cut my hair today and I feel good. It's like getting rid of baggage. Does that sound strange? Oh well, can't help what I feel.

This morning I was tempted to eat bread. I ordered me a breakfast bacon toaster from Sonic. I was going to eat the toast. It smelled so good. I dropped the top onto the floor! Ooops. I was determined to eat the other piece. Somehow my brain convinced me to don't eat it and to toss it into the trash. It was a close call.

I'm calling it an early night. I have to be up for a meeting that I have been dreading since they have signed me up. One of the sessions is call The Joys of Stress, can anyone freaking explain that one to me? I should think positive. I am positive this session should have been name something else.
Keeping my fingers cross that I get through my training sessions with survival.

Kicking It Keto: Day 2

Today was not any better...

This morning I was extremely tired.

I was irritable.

No patience.

My knee still freaking hurts.

AND

It was like time was dragging ass!

I felt like this until noon.

Arriving home, my sense of smell was sensitive. The smell of pretzels and crackers were super strong. I admit I wanted to eat some. I don't even like pretzels and hardly eat crackers. Go figure!

"Sometimes", I can handle a mouthy teenager, but today I felt like she was over the top and I was not having it. Over the top mom, that was me.

I am more hungry today, but I have kept true to keeping keto. My carbs are at 20 grams. I met my daily goal. I have had more water to drink.

That's my report, until tomorrow.
