Did it!!

I hit my goal for our trip, weighed in at 189.8 the day we left, WOO HOO! 


However, my weight has been hanging at 193 since we got back. Could be the bad eating of the trip, the bad eating this week, the pre-period weight I always seem to gain OR all of the above.

Coming back I expected to have life calm down, but it hasn't. Between me working, kids in school and stuff that needs done I feel like I'm just inches under water but can't quite get to the top for that air. I get home around 10 30 or 11, I eat because I'm starving, I haven't eaten since 11am. Watch some tv and go to bed. I get up at 6 30am and I'm just dead. I'm dragging all day, when I'm lacking energy my body wants to eat - and never anything good so I've been having junk food and rice crispy treats. It's bad. I've been drinking FAR too much diet soda. No water, no exercising. I've got to find a way to make this work. I think I need to start packing a lunch for work, so I don't eat when I come home. Then coming home and going straight to bed! That would give me an extra hour- hour and a half of sleep and maybe I won't feel so crappy the next day. Then I need to force myself to work out in the mornings. I have about 45 minutes between when I get in from taking boys to the bus/feeding animals to when I need to leave to take J to middle school so I could do just half an hour a day in there, then shower, then run errands if needed. I need to do this. Instead I've been coming in and laying down! I know if I work out my energy will go up.

Today I did force myself to work out but honestly I got maybe 20 minutes and I was done. Gotta work on this. Gotta get to eating better.

Trying to plan meals for hubby to feed the kids has been hard because I find the keto meals, while good, are usually kind of time consuming and trust me with 6 kids and no other adult - he doesn't have time to spend an hour cooking. So we do easy stuff, hot dogs, tacos, frozen meals, pizzas. This week I did plan better and I made some stuff I can put in the crock pot for him. I think I need to do some serious keto crock pot research.

So, I don't plan to weigh again until after my period because I always always gain a bunch while it's here but I drop it immediately after so I'll weigh in then!

 I did it!! I DID IT, I DID IT, I DIIIIIIDDDDD ITTT!!!! Excuse the blurry picture, crappy cell phone mixed with not being able to turn the light on (babies sleeping).  Tomorrow is weigh in but I'm doing it a day early because, well I had a feeling I'd be there. SO excited!!! This is the first time in years I've been under 200lbs!! Really motivates me to keep going!  My reward for this is - SKIPPING CHEAT DAY! Yes, I am done with cheat-day Sunday. We do DQ on Sundays so I may have a mini blizzard but I can eat half and fit that into my macros. Sunday always sets me back, then I'll screw up Monday and it's a vicious cycle so I'm just gonna stick to it. I've lost 25lbs in 11 weeks, so I know I can do another 25 in 3 more months! Although I know the lower I go, the harder it will be. I got this.  So what am I doing? People ask this, it's funny because on some of the facebook boards I'm one of the people asked how they did it, vs being...

More bad than good but...

This week has been more bad than good but somehow, I've lost more weight that previous weeks!! Husband filled the house with junk, he's been on vacation. I've had bday parties and playdates to go to. I had cake at the birthday party. We had DQ yesterday for a treat for the kids. We had a long day and no one felt like cooking so we ordered pizza. I wasn't going to eat it but I was starving and just didn't feel like cooking, even just for myself, so I had 3 slices - crust and all! I had a granola bar the other day (it was like 33g carbs). Sonic messed up my drink order and it was most certainly NOT diet. I actually didn't drink much of it, but I had some. I also have only got in 2 days of exercise all week! So this morning I got on that scale expecting to see the worst.... but instead I'm down 3.2lbs!! How did that even happen?! Am I starving my body? Is that why I'm not losing as fast? Should I be eating more? Maybe getting more carbs than 50? I don...

Why didn't I think of that?!

-
Yesterday afternoon I was talking to my oldest son about wanting a treadmill or an elliptical on our patio so while the girls play I could get in a workout. My husband chimes in, "why don't you just go jog around the goat yard?" Wait, what?! Why didn't I think of that?! Of course he's thinking of saving himself $200 but it was a great idea! I've always hated walking/jogging our neighborhoods because of.. neighbors. I feel like I'm being watched and maybe a little judged and it's just not my cup of tea. But out here, no one to watch! No one to judge! And it's a BIG area and if we wanted more we could actually go jog the front acre too! So my son and I had a little jog. He jogged a little, ok, a lot faster than me and he could have probably done 3x the laps I did but we did it! It felt good! We're gonna do it again today and tomorrow. Then add a lap each week. He loves working out so he's really enjoying my desire to exercise. On the foo...
