Thanks @collaroygal!
I was really struggling last month, but am back on track now. I tracked for a week and that was helpful. I have learned that going over on fat ain’t no thang. It has to be the blueberries that get me. Where are you, raspberry season?! I’m not done tracking, I will again for a bit. But I had a long weekend where tracking would have been hard. I did still keep keto. No cheats or anything. Just food that would be hard to put in a tracker. I’m writing this here and now to remind myself to get back to tracking now that I’m back home.
Sleep continues to be an issue. I swear, I want to fix it about 20 hours out of the day. Just not the four hours I need to be in bed before I am. But I’ve had a long weekend of good sleep times, so hope to keep that train rolling. I bought a new sleep aid with valerian and magnesium and it seems to knock me out pretty quick.
Regardless… I’m back to my old goal weight, hoping to shift it down so that my high weight for the month is where it is now, and my low weight is about 7 pounds lower.
But even where I am now, it feels so much better than where I was last month. Right now I have more fat about the tum and thighs than I would want in an ideal world. but I’m also at a place I believe is healthy, charts-be-damned. Have those few extra pounds that may be protective in later years. I just don’t believe I’m in those later years yet. Especially now that I’m keto and feel so good.
I don’t know. But anyway,t I’m much better off than before I lost 40+ pounds. There is unnecessary quibbling about weight loss vs metabolic health. Since when are they not the same damn thing? Sure, I had no signs of diabetes and, yes, I was worried about how I looked at 40ish pounds overweight. But more than anything I see keto as preventative medicine. In my case.
