173.6

Lost even more weight!!

I told myself that as long as I weighed less than yesterday by no matter how much I would be happy.  I feel like sometimes with diets that we set a goal weight on a daily basis.  I’m guilty of it and it’s probably not the healthiest mindset.  However nobody is perfect.

Later today I’m going to a family owned Mexican restaurant with my husband and some friends.  It’s going to take my willpower to not order anything with beans, tortilla, rice or to not eat the chips on the table.  However, Mexican restaurants are one of the easiest places to be keto.  Sometimes I go to Qdoba or Chipotle and order a salad bowl with lettuce, meat, queso, sour cream, vegetables, guac, cheese, and salsa and it’s pretty yummy.  So I’m sure if I get carnitas, fajitas, or a salad things will be okay.

Plus I FINALLY posted that muffin recipe.  I’ve been eating that the past three days straight with coffee and my mornings have been fulfilling and magical.  Like seriously.  Eating traditional breakfast foods on this diet totally is limiting.  I’m not a super huge fan of eggs, in fact before I had my 1 year-old I was allergic and would throw them up all the time.  Now it comes to a matter of as long as they’re cooked through really good then I’m fine.

Total Loss for The Week: 3.4 Pounds

I’m super excited that I lost that much weight this week.  However, I’m bummed that I put on weight since yesterday, especially since I ate super good yesterday.  Although I do have to keep in mind that I haven’t been regular since I started this diet.  Plus I did a late workout last night and drank a ton of water.  Not the healthiest way to look on things but I have to remember our bodies change all the time.  Especially a female one  like mine.  ALSO, I always hit a wall around this part of my weight.  I will fight it though.  This week is going to be my week to get past 173 and get closer to 160′s. 

I had another mug muffin and coffee this morning.  The coffee helped me feel better to so tomorrow should be better.  Then I still have leftover pizza so I will probably eat some toppings off of that.  (I got the deluxe one for me and pepperoni for everyone else because my husband hates olives and then I get a whole pizza to myself.)  

Doing some grocery shopping today after spending my day waiting around for the new internet guy to come over and switch us over to a cheaper internet.  Then I get to break up with Comcast.  Like- literally break up with them.  I SWEAR!  I hate switching companies.  They give you a billion plus offers and an hour later while you’re trying to cancel and it’s like, “No Brian, it’s you.  It has always been you.  You’re high maintenance and you gouge me out emotionally.  I think this is honestly for the best.”  

Then AFTER you break up with them you get an obscene amount of junk mail later- begging for them to take you back.  WHICH BEGS THE QUESTION~ can you get a restraining order from your ex internet/cable provider.  Asking for a friend...

I haven’t been logging on like I should! Between my business, flip house, family and my house we’ve been very busy. However I’m still keto and I’m still losing weight. My tighter pair of shorts are even loose on me! Hooray!

I would weigh myself but the last I was aware I was 172.6

My husband has lost his sixteen pounds and has added more carbs. Any more weight loss and he would be considered underweight so he had to stop. I hate him😆

Lastly I wanted to say thank you for my 50+ followers. Thank you to older and newer for being so supportive of my weight loss goals and putting up with my non-creative posts. Your support means a lot and it definitely puts a positive spin on my life changes. Thank you.

Have a fun and productive weekend!

Back from Vacation at 175

Im not going to lie, I wasn’t completely keto on vacation. But I ate no bread on my burgers and Salad where I could. (I also ate a lot of ice cream.)

So it’s keto for me again tomorrow. I’m feeling pretty good about it. I bought a bunch of fresh groceries again to restock my fridge with a new apple sauce recipe I’m ready to try. Plus I bought some schnitzel so that will be hella tight. Do kids even say tight anymore? No idea.

Also here’s a hint on where we were.

173.6

I figured out my problem and hopefully this helps others too. I ended up adjusting my macros to include more carbs and my weight started dropping again. I know consume 35 instead of twenty and it made a huge difference. When you think about it it makes sense though. I work out 5 to 6 days a week and I’m a full-time mom. Plus with my business and flip house along with a husband that’s gone constantly it makes sense.

My body probably needed more sugary energy in the complicated chemistry mambo that I don’t understand and now life is moving forward again. I would like to be in the 160’s by November. I really want to make it happen.

I look forward to the day where my jeans are too big. ❤️
