Transformation by Changing the Container of My Being
I had an arbitrary stretch goal of 155 lbs and I just made it at 154.8 lbs thanks to mix of good diet and daily exercise, and restricted-time meals (twice a day). So what next? I am hesitant to set a WEIGHT goal. Maybe body fat % or something? Plant-based diet going well. I still…
Wow, 157.6lbs – I have not weighed this since high school. So I have been thinking about next steps with my nutritional plan and I do not feel Keto is a good idea for long term for a few reasons. constipation. For me at least it has been too much effort to simply poo regularly…
My best weight pre-pandemic was 162.2. I have not been weighing myself regularly but a random check today has me at 160.4 lbs. So goal achieved! I guess for now I will aim for 155 as long as I am healthy about it. I am reviewing new keto findings which may have me changing my…
Been really busy with work but kept to some semblance of my daily workouts, with less walking than usual. outside of the last two days. Pretty sure the stress and a bit of decadent (but still keto) eating over weekend not helping with progress. Feeling stronger thanks to the workouts. Definite improvement in form with…
Just curious to see how long it takes to bounce back from my semi-cheat meal that included some sugar and more carbs than usual. Rest was dirty keto at worse. Today weight is down to 166.6lb so already on path to where I was. Just one pound to go! Only other thing I noticed yesterday…
I wish I had weighed myself before I left the house yesterday so I had better accuracy. This is what I have: 1/18: 165.6 Today: 167.2 Amazing what a little sugar and carbs can do. This is with all that walking too. Well, I’m not stressing it. I will try to check weight daily for…
Had dim sum in the city today. I don’t like to think about cheat days. To me, I call them a treat day. They are infrequent and I have no reason to feel guilty when I am treating myself responsibly. Still, I picked items that were mostly keto friendly, perhaps dirty keto with one exception…
I have been pretty busy at work so I wanted to be sure to do a quick check-in on all I am doing: Keto: nothing particular to report. Still keeping to it. Probably should not snack as much, but it is within moderation. I could go for a nice crispy french fry but otherwise…
So the last 2 days I started adding a little psyllium husk powder to my morning electrolyte drink since a colleague reminded me that can help with constipation from the keto diet. Ironically I already had it on hand since I had purchased it with the expectation I may need it. I had forgotten about…
I started drinking 2 tbsps of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water in the morning. It helps with fasting and has some health benefits. I thought why not give it a go?! Nasty stuff but folks say you get used to it quickly. We shall see! I ordered a stainless steel straw since…
