Background: I did keto from August-October last year and lost 30lbs. I decided to let my 30lb victory turn into “well I can have a piece of candy to celebrate!” one piece turned into about 100 and fell off the keto wagon because I was weak and Halloween candy. UGH.
I’ve been struggling to get back on the wagon and kept making stupid excuses (wait till after the holiday stress (and food) is over, I have a stressful week at work coming up, and on and on). I gained back ALL of those 30lbs in just a few months. (Lesson learned!) I re-started eating keto about 4 times since January 3rd this year but chickened out after I started feeling sick with the keto flu. No matter how much sodium and electrolytes I take I get super sick during the transition. The first time I went into ketosis I literally spent all night throwing up and landed in the urgent care for fluids the next day. After starting to listen to the 2KG podcast last week I hopped over here and got the motivation to seriously get through the first few days and back into ketosis.
So, after getting through a super ragey Saturday and drinking broth all day yesterday I managed to only have about 5 hours last night where I was super sick and sitting on the floor next to the potty.
Today is day 4 and I woke up in a good mood, feeling half way decent with tons of energy. My mind is on FIRE today at work. It’s 20 minutes past lunch and I’m not even really hungry.
I FINALLY MADE IT! And my scale victory is that I’ve lost 9.4 lbs since Thursday evening. WOOHOO!
