Total weight loss: 41 1/2 pounds After the long birthday/Thanksgiving/trip out of town and back in 3-days, I was feeling pretty poorly. I actually developed a cold and upper respiratory ailment during the weekend, and just did not feel like rushing back to work. I ended up using a vacation day on Monday and staying…
I took a little break from blogging. Did you really want details of birthday celebrations, Thanksgiving feasts, car trips that involved fast food WITH buns? (5 hours up north on Friday; 5 hours back on Saturday – I just gave up fighting the carbs) HOWEVER, I am back on track. Again, this prolonged no-carb trek…
Total weight loss: 41 1/2 pounds Monday started out fine with a nice leftover quiche breakfast. Lunch was a couple of beddar cheddars and some almonds. Dinner. Sigh. I was at Albert’s for trivia. I always order a really good chicken salad. Today, I blew it. I just wanted pizza. I had 4 pieces of…
Total weight loss: 41 1/2 pounds I know I need to plan ahead to be successful on the keto plan, and to avoid all those carb-laden “easy” foods. Sunday morning, I decided to make a quiche that would last me the week. I used this crustless quiche recipe, from the Budgetbytes blog, and adapted it…
Total weight loss: 41 pounds (yes, I gained a 1/2 pound back!) It’s difficult to believe but I spent more than 7 hours at a restaurant yesterday. It was the day of my league’s trivial finals, which took place at a restaurant/bar called Sneaky’s and lasted a full day. I skipped breakfast, because I was…
Total weight loss: 41 1/2 pounds Yesterday was Friday and the last day of diner eating. Rick and I decided it’s a bit much to go to breakfast every day – it’s a bit too much on his waistline and our pocketbook. I plan to make a quiche Sunday. I’m hoping that will motivate me…
Total weight loss: 41 1/2 pounds I ate the usual breakfast and had two cheese tortillas for lunch. It was Thursday, so we did our new usual habit: Thursday night at the movies. We go to the 5 pm showing and get in for $5 each. Usually, we don’t order food at the concession stand,…
Total weight loss: 41 1/2 pounds We went to the diner for breakfast, again. I had the usual grilled onion and cheese omelet with bacon. For lunch at work, I went back to an old stand by. I love Mexican food, and I concocted a simple yummy and quick lunch. Two low carb tortillas (3g…
Total weight loss: 41 1/2 pounds Yesterday after our celebration cheat meal, we went to Costco to spend money – I mean, to stock up on supplies and food. They have a few options that are quick, easy, and keto-friendly, like the roast beef with gravy, lots of cheese and low carb dips, and something…
Total weight loss: 41 1/2 pounds Well we finally did it! We closed on the house we’ve been working on for more than 3 years! It was a red-letter day, and I knew I would want to celebrate with food and drink. These habits are ingrained. Rick and I had planned in advance that we’d…
