Day 5

There is never really a great time to start a diet, but 4 days before Halloween was probably not ideal.  The past 4 days I've had long meetings filled with candy dishes:

Someone refills it after every meeting, and the meetings are so stressful I desperately want some!  To help deal with the stress I've been going to the gym right after the meetings are over.

We went trick or treating with JJ yesterday, and got a ton of candy even though it we only went to 4 houses.  No one was out because it was raining and cold, so every house we went to gave us handfuls of candy.


I made sure Stefan took the candy bag to work because JJ can't eat it and I don't want the temptation.

Today is the first day of the month, so work has "cake day" to celebrate all of the upcoming November Birthdays:



I was super tempted to have candy this morning, but since I've been going to the gym and being SUPER productive afterwards, I didn't want to ruin it.

Good news!  I've been going to the gym on my lunch breaks every day since day 1 (5 days total).  It's a mile (round trip) to get to the gym, so extra walking added to whatever I do.  So far I've done elliptical, treadmill, and stationary bike.  So far so good.  They say it takes a month to make a habit.  5 days down, 25 to go!

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 ...
