Another .2# drop, and that is a great thing! Chiseling away at this one step at a time...that makes me think of the attached image. I am okay with chiseling away. I know a lot of people get disappointed with such tiny losses or when others are losing much faster than them, but we all have our own path to take...that is in every aspect of our lives, and includes this one.

As I had mentioned I have a 30 day gym membership. I am glad that I logged in 2 miles on my treadmill at home prior to my gym date. My friend cancelled on me and so instead I took that time (would've been 30 minutes) to change my bed clothes, take a quick shower and cook dinner. It actually worked out well because by the time I was done it was time to go to the Council meeting. So yesterday wouldn't have been the best timing for that anyway. My friend cannot go today through Friday, but I will go and get my weights on. Thinking I will make use of the rowing machine that is there, too.

Oh! NSV! I pulled out another pair of jeans (that I definitely couldn't wear) and wore them to council meeting last night! Pretty exciting.

Today is my 7 week Keto-versary!! I feel so good and stronger, too. It is like each day gets a little better still...each day I feel a little stronger and in control. For instance....I ate a quick salmon salad for dinner last night and my normal routine is to be in bed between 8 and 8:30 since I start work at 5am. However, after council and getting home we had someone drop in and they didn't leave until 9pm. By that time I would have been settled in bed and probably sleeping, but I wasn't. I was feeling a little hungry, but I do not like to eat late. I was able to tuck that feeling away and recognize "you aren't starving and you will be sleeping soon". This is another NSV and this is the kind of NSV that will help me from straying too far from this healthier path that I am on.

Have a great day and remember to treat yourself with kindness!

I reached another goal, and then passed it! 215# was the mini goal and I was shocked this morning when I stepped on the scale; not only did I reach the goal but I completely jumped over 214#. Happy Dance! I truly was prepared for nothing or just another .2 drop. I’m thrilled. Started the gym yesterday for my 30 day purchase at the silent auction; this will primarily be weight machines. I will continue to do my treadmill at home. I need to get measurements today because I think in 30 days the biggest shift may be inches and not so much the scale. I’m fine with that. Body changes are GREAT! I am in this for the long haul.

Yesterday was a couple of NSV's but I am reserving the scale again for tomorrow.

DH took me out to brunch. This place does brunch! I mean it is a dress up morning and AH-mazing food. However, if you check out my food entry you will see that I was GOOD and guess what? I didn't feel deprived. I allowed myself a mimosa (topped with extra champagne). I allowed myself one chocolate covered strawberry and a bonbon. Other than that I feasted on smoked salmon with some cream cheese, prawns, deviled eggs, andouille sausage skewers (two of these) with a small piece of cheese and a piece of red bell pepper (remembering this for the next party we go to). Anyway...the point is the NSV is that I didn't feel deprived. When we both left we were like I am full. I wasn't stuffed or miserable but I was FULL. I didn't eat again for the rest of the day. So we wrapped up brunch at 10:45am and as of 8:05am this morning the only thing I had was my collagen water last night and black coffee this morning. I feel good. I felt in control. DH had some cheese and meat last night and sure it 'looked good' but I did a quick review and I wasn't hungry. Then, of course, he makes a pan of chocolate chip cookies which I bagged up last night and put away. Yes, they smelled good but I put them away.

The other NSV....digging things out of my closet that I haven't worn in a couple years or more. I rocked my black skirt with some black tights and boots with heels and a blouse that I was not able to button up!! The boots...sure I could wear but haven't felt 'comfortable' in them. Yesterday, I felt great in them and bonus didn't feel like I was going to fall and bust my ass.

Today I start the gym with a friend. She and I both have a free month membership. So I plan on getting my treadmill in at home and then taking full advantage of the weight machines and possibly mix it up with the rowing machine or the elliptical machine.

So I am prepared to not see a lot of scale movement as I see my body making some shifts and rebuilding some muscle.

Have a great day/week and be kind to yourself!

Valentine's Day was rather uneventful and that is okay. I don't like playing much into 'the day' and we don't need a day to recognize one another. Also, there are far better things I can think of to spend money on rather than the roses that my husband would thoughtfully bring me. This year he actually 'got that'. He took the time to bring me a card and left one on my laptop to be found...very sweet. So much sweeter than roses. We were both exhausted. Neither of us slept very well and after he got home we both settled in on a sofa and took naps...LOL. That was great for me because I do not take naps.

I made cheese sticks (made from cheese) hahaha. Also, made a pizza casserole. It was good but a LOT of cheese. What did I discover? I was a bit stuffy last night after all of that cheese which supports my thoughts that I need to monitor and go easy on the dairies. This morning the scale "ouch" is all I will say about that. I will not cater to it but use it as the 'tool' it is (pun intended). It reiterates that I need to be careful with cheeses. So bloat; it will go away. I went and pulled out a button up shirt that i have not worn in years. Pulled it up and it buttoned up perfectly fine even over my boobs...no gap!! So, the scale is a tool and my clothes are the real judge. Not to mention I my new bra that I was using extenders on because I knew I wouldn't need them long....I don't need them...that has happened in a couple weeks.

The other NSV was the pizza. I made half for the husband and half for me equaling two healthy squares. I ate one and he had one. It was good, but I was full and didn't go back. Also, with the realization of how the cheese effects me I know I need to lay off for a few days so I will not have the leftovers on this one, but rather will pitch them. That is very hard for me. Usually, I am wrapping and putting in the fridge or freezer, but this time it is better for me to pitch it. I had been craving pizza all week and I satisfied that craving and I am done with it now. That is a major victory for me!

So as I buttoned up my shirt this morning the thought that popped into my head, of its on volition, was "despite the scale bump up the shirt tells the story and at 6+ weeks now I am embracing this lifestyle and the positive changes will continue to happen". Then I said back to myself...because I was impressed...you are right...wow this is my lifestyle and I love it.

Have a great day and weekend!!
