Glycogen storage is up along with accompanying water. Inability to visit the gym due to being sick (throwing up) has meant 8 days without the gym, and it's starting to show on the scale.
However, I think I'm finally starting to beat this bug, and my plan is to get to the gym 5 times a week between 12/16 and 1/1. That should put me back on track as far as exercise and feeling better, plus shed a few pounds of water weight.
I've decided to increase my carb to 50-60g/day between now and 1/1 also. I've been craving fruit like crazy and I think my body is telling me I'm vitamin deficient. I don't always eat all the greens I should on this plan, and vitamin deficiency, especially Vitamin C, could be responsible for my getting sick, too!
I will feel good if I'm still 187-189 in 1/1. Surviving the holidays intact and without gaining is my true goal. If I happen to lose, then great. But I plan on taking in fruit every day for the next two weeks to get my vitamins back in shape. Turns out that raspberries are incredible for low carb. There is so much fiber from the seeds, I can have quite a bit and hardly make a dent!
Still in ketosis every day, from 0.1 to 0.5, so I'm thrilled that remained in spite of a few days where I exceeded by carb goal, especially when sick (soup adds up!).

Blackberries... 1 cup 60 calories, 2.4 carbs. A healthy substitute for me vs cookies. Take care.

Make you take a multi vitamin or airborne ( as long as your doctor OKs it) You should probably drink water or Gatorade if throwing up alot- the flu/ cold has been going around in the Tampa Bay area, 2 people in office were sick last week- I started to catch it Thursday- was sick Friday -but with cold medicine , vitamin c and airborne I fought mine off for now- Get Well Soon!!!!!

I put raspberries in my oatmeal. I got a great deal on fresh ones and put them in the freezer. I eat a lot of fruit and veggies including an orange every day, but everyone around me is sick and I might be succumbing. This is bad because I don't eat when I'm sick.

I don't like red peppers. I wish I did because it sounds like a great alternative. Had cottage cheese, sugar free cherry yogurt and raspberries today. So far, I'm off to a great start!

Mrsmole there's a difference in the taste between regular red peppers and "sweet" red peppers. Try the ones sold by the jar at Trader Joes. I got turned on to them stuffed with goat cheese at Costco, but they stopped carrying the product line. It was too expensive to order direct from the manufacturer, so was in deep deprivation when my Brother in Law turned me onto Trader Joe's. Now I stuff them myself. Makes a great addition to any appetizer tray. Also depending on the cheese, can be a low calorie treat.

That strep sounds NASTY. Sorry you've had such issues. Enjoy your two weeks with yummy fruit and good for you realizing that maintaining is a win as well. Happy holidays! (P.S. Sorry I've been so MIA lately - read my explanation from my -0- weigh in journal on 12-14-14)
