This is my third morning weighing in at 280 point something so I decided to enter it. I weigh every day but only enter when I see a consistent loss ... hence the reason my weigh ins seem erratic. Going back to basics seems to have helped get through the 6 pound fluctuation I was struggling with.

I did a short term fast yesterday - I stopped eating at 2 pm and just broke the fast today at noon - so 22 hours.

Does anyone else find that those types of fasts on this plan (LCHF) seem to happen naturally? I could have eaten pizza with my family but didn't really want to - even a lc version wasnt tempting. I just wasnt interested.

I have cut back on my coffee / heavy whipping cream / vanilla syrup concoction......I only get to do that on special occasions. I stopped with the almond flour creations too and feel better...... I'm still working on eliminating the artificial sweeteners completely. I didn't think that would be as difficult as it's been. My blood sugars seem to be more affected by the almond flour than the artificial sweeteners but that could be wishful thinking on my part....I haven't taken the time to really look at the correlation between the numbers and my intake.

I think the almond flour creations were my way of keeping my love of baking alive. I hate to think of that as being an obsolete skill. My daughter's school hosted a competition for one of her clubs and we were asked to provide food etc. Whoo hoo I get to bake! 6 batches of brownies (made with dates and prunes), 8 batches of cinnamon rolls (whole wheat, psyllium and almond flour) 3 batches of fudge (coconut cream and lower sugar)and a pumpkin cake (totally low carb and grain/sugar free).

Nobody else has to eat what I eat but if I can "healthify" some of the standards then I will! When I came to pick up the trays / containers - they were ALL empty. I even had people ask for recipes.

I also made a variety tray for one guy who can't have gluten. My daughter said he usually can't eat at competitions because he's never sure what's in the food. I thought - Wow that's gotta suck for him.

Anyway - I've been logging my intake on paper and when I can I log it here or if I don't have my log with me then I enter here so I can remember what to log on paper. I have trouble getting some of my foods to match with what's on the nutritional listings here. Like today - chicken sausage (mine 1 carb each) - the only option on the search here is 1 carb for 2 sausages. I just entered double to match what I know to be my carb count since that is what I'm watching most closely. Not super accurate but I get what I'm doing and I have the paper copy to peruse when needed.

I also entered my egg salad as being eaten at one meal which isn't the case but it's easier to track that way - I may eat the rest of it later (or maybe not). ☺

I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday and KCKO!! Thank you for listening everyone, I appreciate your taking the time.

Slowly getting there. I think I'll do a modified fast today. I was up really late last night working on Christmas bags so I'm pooped. My tummy is grumbling the hungries but I just don't feel like cooking for myself right now. I already did some prep work yesterday - I made low salt chicken sausage, steak, a pork roast and some cauliflour tots for this week.... so I'm less likely to stray from my plan. I have such a long list of things to do so I shouldn't have any problem keeping busy today.

I wake up this morning after crabbing about those weight fluctuations and the scale has miraculously broken the 286 mark - after almost a month. Granted it is only 0.6# but I will take it. Yesterday I ate some steak and a few brussel sprouts. Today I spent the day in the hospital waiting room due to a family member having surgery - which went well - thank goodness - but didn't have a lot of options as to what to eat. I did plan ahead and brought coffee and some cheese which just ended up making me feel like I spent the whole day sitting around eating. I hate that feeling. Of course sitting at the hospital for 8 hours is enough to drive anyone over the edge. I will say over all, my food choices weren't bad - just way too much salt and protein. My usual issues. Very few carbs though!

I did have a couple of NSV this last week - I walked into a regular non-plus store and tried on a winter coat - not expecting it to fit and low and behold ---- IT FIT WITH ROOM TO WEAR A SWEATER! It zips up so nicely too. It's been 10 years since I've been able to do that. My daughter finally told me I wasn't allowed to wear my new coat in the house. I told her just for that I was going to turn the heat down!

We had a company meeting and I had a bunch of people comment on how much weight I've lost and how good I look. That was a very nice ego stroke.

I went shopping for 3 hours and didn't feel worn out. A 3 hr foray like that 6 months ago would have required ibuprofen (due to hip pain) and a 2 hour nap to be able to function for the rest of the day. No meds and no nap!

I'm actually getting stronger!
