A Treatise for the Improvement of the Nut

So, quick catch up. I went to school. I graduated. I gained back every motherfucking pound I lost.

This can not stand.

Fuck. I nearly can’t stand.

So, yeah. Back to work. 

Getting my ass back to Keto. Hit my macros today, but have a whopping case of Keto flu. Couldn’t hit my calories even if I tried. Med compliant too for the first time in a while. I have my beezies on my side, I am one with the…

And that’s ok.

I finally sprung for my own URL, which is awesome. :) I’m going to link this blog to that one. No need to forget what is here :)

The new home for the Cashew is:

MrsCashewsKitchen.com (ain’t that the cutest?)

It’s a little bare yet, but I have some ideas to spruce up the joint :)

It’ll be my virtual kitchen table. (virtual because I sure as heck don’t have space for a real one in…

It’s been a while

And I can’t promise frequent updates, but now, here’s hoping–

For the record, I’m down nearly 75 lbs, I hit 242 this week. I also updated t he progress pics page. My friends say they see the difference. I don’t really, but hey, at least it’s noticeable now.

I start school today to complete my degree. Took me only about 16 years to build up the gumption to do it.

I’ll detail more about it…

Yep, finally went and bought myself a new tape measure. The last one, as previously posted died a near heroic death. Well, as heroic as a tape measure that got melted in the dryer could possibly be.

So, I measured myself this morning post work and pre-nap. The scale, meh, not that promising, though the tape measure, now that’s where this starts to get interesting.

8/1 →9/1→10/1→11/9

Waist: 56″ →…

I like that phrase. Too bad I’m not basic, or I’d end up with it tattooed on my wrist or behind my ear or something like that.

But life- it is what it is- just a wacky little path we walk, some smooth parts, some quicksand, and some hurdles that we have to find our way around (crawling under is always an option. Do not let the evil little gym teachers of the soul tell you otherwise!). As long as…

Well, back again for another week catch up, and since it’s the beginning of the month, we’re gonna eval where we are and where we’re going.

This has been a pretty good time– I’m still logging my My fitness pal daily, and just hit a 100 day streak with the program. Just eating sensibly and keeping moving (even at a minimum!) just to keep thing going in the right direction, and I really seem to be-…

I’m back!

I had some time away- and now I’m making myself come back, not because it is easy, but instead, because it is hard, and I really need to do this. It’s part of being accountable to myself, and yep, I’ve been slacking.

So, what’s been going on? Well, I have a picture that’ll help me explain.

Well, I had a stall, and a bunch of lb up lb down lb up lb down days from about 10/9 to 10/20, and I got…

273 today. Gettin’ there.

Been ungodly busy IRL this week- getting my stuff together for the little man’s first birthday party.

I’ve been eating fairly carefully, but will update for this week (including pics, didn’t realise I didn’t do them yet, and it’s already wednesday!) probably later today.

On a good note, I actually weighed in today, and I’m down to 273… that’s nearly a 43 lb loss.

Woot Woot and Hoody Hoo!

Well, it took long enough! This week really seemed beyond impossible. Water retention was the bane of my week. I hopped onto the scale about a week ago to find that it jumped up about 6 lbs overnight, which was immediately followed by my first postpartum visitor. I realize it was water, and it’s still going down, but seeing it read well over 280 was not a happy moment for me. I fully admit, that…

#1. Did I eat like an overweight person today, or a person who wants to reach a healthy goal weight? Where can I improve?

Yeah I didn’t exactly do my best today. I did stay under my calorie goal, but I did have an episode of binging this morning. I’ve been really good about it, but today was just bad. I’m glad though that I had healthy snacks on hand so that the damage is easily controlled. I can…

Well, I’m stuck to my phone with no access to my computer for a couple more hours, but I figure I’d do a little I and O update.

I’ve been surprisingly good, no major fails, a couple skipped days of exercise (I’ll post more specifics when I’m home later), but I figure in the name of accountability, I’d post.

Now, the calories are right; I’m on the Victoza which really saps my appetite. I…

Macaroni, Pasta, Noodles, all such delicious words.

All just not happening on keto, and not happening very often if you’re GF. GF pasta is okay, but it’s just not the same. Still, there’s something about chewing through a yummy strand of pasta, flavored with a spicy sausage and fresh bright olive oil and the funky sheepy tang of the Pecorino Romano cheese that really is just elegant in it’s…
