Day 14 Nope

 Ok, Nope. I didn't manage to resist the amazing desserts last night. I ate them. And some Doritos. And had a beer. None of which was low carb.

A Day

I don't want to count days. This has to be sustainable for the rest of my life. Otherwise, it won't work. I also have to get back to eating breakfast, even though I'm not hungry in the morning. I did today and I feel annoyingly full now. I'm going for a hike while W has run club, so hopefully it won't be too big a problem. If I were going running this would not be so great. I really want to run and I need to eat breakfast. I don't know how to reconcile these things. Maybe it means going for a run later in the morning. Tomorrow is run day. I guess I'll figure that out then.  I woke up vaguely more hopeful today. I guess that's from the run. A little bit of hope is good.

 I was doing 1200 calories. I think that's too low. I had zero energy to do anything yesterday and actually felt awful and got a migraine. I still managed to do day 3 of C25K, but it was brutal. I'm hoping eating more will help that, given that I'm exercising almost every day. I'm trying more like 1400 now. Hopefully it will help and give me more energy and still allow me to lose weight. I'm no impatient. I don't want to wait.  I also really need to be patient about sleeping. I'm not sleeping well enough right now. Last night I spent two hours stressing about everything at 3 a.m. Kids' social lives, college costs, where they'll get into college, how we'll pay, etc. It would have been much better to be sleeping instead. I'm now almost two weeks after I last had something to drink last Saturday (and before that it had been a month). I want to go 6 whole months here and see how I do, exercise-wise, diet-wise, mood-wise, sleep-wise, etc. I'm ...

Days 9-12 Cruising

 I feel like I've kind of hit my stride with keto and intermittent fasting right now. It feels pretty effortless and the cravings and hunger are nearly gone now. It's amazing how fast this happened. I'm feeling pretty good, mentally and physically. I'm down to 194 pounds, as of a couple days ago, which is a loss of 7 pounds in 10 days. Love it. I don't want to get cocky, though, which is what I feel like always happens. I always think "great, I've got this, I can stop paying too much attention." But the reality is, that cockiness always comes back to bite me in the butt, and I need to stay nose to the grindstone. Today, for the first time, I really has a moment of thinking "ugh, I can't handle another savory/salty meal right now." I got over it and had a good lunch, but I have to watch that thought carefully. I think the way to handle it is to have some cream and berries on hand for a low-carb non-savory treat to keep me on track. Anyway,...
