Rick and I went to the movies last night, and I knew enough to prepare by snacking on something before going in. Those concession stands are nothing but a big, expensive, and carb-filled enemy to the keto plan. I love chili lime almonds and eat them daily as a snack at work. They have often…
Yesterday was hump day. I started the day with breakfast at home: scrambled eggs with cheese and a side of bacon. I decided to start acknowledging the successes in each day: There was a workshop going on at work. I circumnavigated the donut and juice table and went to my cubicle. On the way to…
Found an inspiring blog with some solid keto diet advice. I especially agree with this: One of the most effective tricks during a diet is routine. Eat the same meals over and over or plan your meals ahead for the whole week. I’ve found it effective to pre-make dishes on Sunday and have them ready…
So far so good. I was running late yesterday morning. I would have gotten to work about 1/2 hour early if I skipped breakfast or stopped for a drive thru McDonald’s breakfast. Hmm. Hardly the way to get back on track. I had really been looking forward to hitting the diner with Rick, but we…
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,…
Interesting. I know carbs aren’t good for me, but I found this article on Huffington Post: Researchers tracking the eating habits of 1,230 older people found that those reporting the highest carbohydrate intake at the beginning of the study were 1.9 times likelier to develop mild cognitive impairment than those with the lowest intake. Participants…
You may have noticed that I haven’t been keeping up on the blog lately. I’m back on track and eating on the keto plan, but I haven’t had much time to blog. The day job, the web business, and a few weeks of travel (to Florida!) have slowed down my blogging progress. I found this…
Total weight loss: 38 pounds After a day of weight gain, and looking ahead to a couple of holiday celebrations at the end of the week makes me realize I need to take advantage of the next few days and eat under carb count as diligently as possible. Monday morning, and we decided to make…
Total weight loss: 39 1/2 pounds I didn’t feel like eggs, so I made a tortilla filled with shredded cheese and a chopped up pappadew pepper. YUM Lunch never happened. I got busy cleaning and sorting things, and working on sites. I had a late afternoon snack of Michelob Ultra (low carb) beer and almonds….
Total weight loss: 39 1/2 pounds Yesterday was Friday and we started out the week at Bigboy’s for breakfast. We hadn’t been before work, but wanted to try their 3.99 breakfast. The only way I could handle getting my eggs over medium was to eat 1/2 piece of whole wheat bread. I need something to…
