Day 1

Yesterday, Stefan and I took JJ to a city Halloween trick-or-treat.  It was raining and cold and JJ cried pretty much the whole time.  Of course we only took smiling pictures:
 
I was so stressed out, I talked Stefan into going out for lunch.  We decided to go to Perkins.  We got there and I went to sit down and realized I couldn't fit in the booth.  I was so upset that we just left.  I am not upset with Perkins, this is 100% my fault.  When we got home, I weighed myself and I am up to 305.  Ever since giving birth to JJ I've been vacillating between 280 and 300, but never above.

Stefan and I talked about it and we're both going to start calorie counting, while I'm going to do low carb as well.  I'm going to use this blog to keep me accountable, but also to vent about food temptations.

To keep me accountable, here is my MFP account:

My goals for this new way of eating are:
  • Keep carbs under 20g a day
  • Exercise 5 times a week (preferably during lunch at work)
  • Go out with JJ once a week to do something fun and active 
Wish me luck

 Update:  I made it to the gym today during my lunch work break!  The first 8 minutes flew by and I was so proud of myself.  The next 12 minutes were excruciating.  I only did 20 minutes but I didn't want to push myself too hard on day one!

Day 9

I wasn't going to post today, but temptation reared it's ugly head, so I thought I'd share.  I got this email today: Seriously?  Why are they always feeding us here?!!!  Luckily I didn't get this email until I got back from the gym.  I am MOST motivated to stick to keto right after the gym!  Well, that and because I was at the gym I didn't see this email until an hour later, when all of the food was probably gone! As always my friends, KCKO

Week 2 (Day 15)

So far so good!  Last week I went to the gym religiously...until Thursday, when I was off of work and just didn't go.  I continued not going to the gym for the rest of the week.  I'm so swamped at work that finding an hour to go to the gym seems unthinkable.  I know I'm more productive when I get back from the gym, but I may take a week off. Temptations defeated:  Walmart was giving out free cupcakes: Why Walmart?!  That's my favorite dessert!!!  Stefan wanted to take me to Olive Garden for our 3 year anniversary, but I talked him into something more keto friendly, Outback.  I got the steak and all you could eat shrimp.  Uggh, the shrimp in garlic butter was horrible!!  Still it was a nice outing and I stayed low carb.   So far, 15 days with no cheats!

Week 2 (Day 8)

I made it through my first weekend!!  Hooray!  Friday was super busy.  JJ had his 15m shots.  He absolutely loves his Doctor, so the shots were worth it. After that, we came home, I fed him and he PASSED OUT for 2.5 hours!  When he woke up we got changed and went swimming.  That was a total bust.  He was unhappy being in the not-super-warm water (it was 82 degrees), and screamed and shivered as I changed him out of his swimsuit and into a a warm bear outfit: The rest of the day was spent on chores.  I vacuumed and did laundry and dishes and snuggled JJ.  When Stefan got home, I ran out to the gym for 20 min on the elliptical. Saturday was the one day I skipped the gym. Stefan took JJ out from 12 to 3 and I worked on homework.  I only left the house once on Saturday, and that was to pickup a pizza for Stefan.  Luckily, pizza isn't a trigger food for me, so I kept ketoing on with some cheese hotdogs and chicken. I went ...
