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!

Day 11
During Lunch, the work place was having burgers and fixings. I had a bunless burger and it was still awesome. I didn't even want chips!!! Am I at a point where I can deny myself evil things like bread or sweets? Not sure.

Day 12
When you don't fit in the booth comfortably.
On the positive side... I put my "hell no!" on the delicious tempting rolls. I didn't even take a picture of those bastards.

I denied the cactus blossom.

I did enjoy my NY strip steak smothered in sautéed onion! The bake potato was ok... not all was eaten either! My first meal of the day too!
Here's even more positive feedback... afterward I left the restaurant not feeling disgustingly full or exhausted like I usually do!!!

Hell yeah!

I was able to head to a few stores and pick up some groceries. I am still a little perky.

Thankful for not caving because honestly it was touch and go a few times.

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.

Keto Day8/Week 2

I am going to say that I am going on a few hours of sleep. I watched my niece last night and her mother worked late. Of course at 4:25 A.M. our 4-legged family member, Dollymae decided to bark like a lunatic! I jumped out of bed confused and stumbling... I was a mess.

To be honest, I haven't felt like keeling over, but I am getting tired.

My knee is kicking my ass today. Not sure why, but my pain is back to a 6 and now my left ankle is giving a twinge.

Here is something I realize... my upper thighs in my jeans feel loose. It's a small change that I have notice about my appearance.

My diet seems to be going good. I eat when I am hungry.

I went grocery shopping today. I should have taken a pick of my keto grocery haul. Next time.

I'm 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.

Engery Malfunction, Day 4

Where are you energy?
This morning the damn 'Charlie horses' tried to make an attempt at my legs. I wasn't having it, so I jumped out of bed like I was on fire!
Problem solved, but this also means I am not getting enough salt in my diet. I may need to take potassium and magnesium supplements. I might add broth to my daily eats.

Energy is still low, and irritability has lessen.
My knee is still bothering me, but the pain is less.

I notice another positive change.

 Before Keto, I had noticed tarter on my teeth, even after brushing my teeth. I literally had to carefully double check and double clean my teeth. I notice that I am not seeing tarter and my teeth look whiter.
Unexpected, and a nice change.

Tonight I am ready for bed...
