No, I did not fall off the wagon....
... though I did not record my meals nor did I hit the scale. Either I am where I was or I lost some. For sure I did not gain any weight - clothes prove it(and my daughter asked me yesterday if I lost weight).

I had a wonderful time with my daughter from Germany.She came over with her little girl, turning 2 on Sunday, followed by her husband. First flight, transatlantic and all by herself. But she did it, it worked out.
She stayed with my other daughter and her family for a while, the other grandchild will turn 2 in October, exactly 4 weeks after the first one.

It was so wonderful seeing those two girls together, how they interacted, cared about each other. They only met on Skype so far.It was just amazing. And of course, I was all smiles :-))))

Of course there was no time to log food. But I stayed pretty much on track. Well, there was a biscuit once and a slice of cheese cake but I got over it and did not fall back into old patterns.

Since my daughter from Germany lives low carb as much as possible it was not sooo difficult. She had a few problems since she used to be a food junkie while living in the US and can't get that stuff in Germany, or it is really, really expensive. Well, she had to have some of it. But overall she did very well too. She even brought some potato fiber over and showed me how she makes bread with it. I have to say, it was the closest to bread I have eaten so far. Have on my mind to make it all week long but no time for it.

That brings me to the next thing. Busy working. Fortunately the stress I had for the last year subsided. We (I) have a new boss! I don't know how he does it but the workload increased and the stress became less. Works for me. A little overtime here and there...I need it anyway since I am planning to go to Germany for Christmas. Flight is booked already.

So, I made a beginning with writing here , hopefully soon I will be able to find my rhythm with logging food as well. And, I charged my fit-bit. We have a fall program coming up at work. Step challenge and a few other things. Participation lowers insurance cost - not bad at all!

I have not been logging for a while but did not fall off the wagon. Happy to see that even without the control factor I lost a pound.
A lot to do and even now I should not be here but I am taking my time. This is for me and it is important.
My daughter and granddaughter came over from Germany and are staying with my other daughter and her family until next week. Then they will stay with me for a week. I am so exited to have them here. But then... an almost two year old in the house, it is not prepared for it (yet). I am soo much looking forward to it.

Here is a question. My daughter bakes a keto bread with potato fiber. Has anyone ever seen anything like that in the US? I googled but nothing but dog food came up (yikes). Has anyone ever tried to bake with Hemp fiber?
I have a recipe for an almond bread but it is kind of dense. And the oopsi stuff is a little bit rubbery so I wanted to give this a try.
Suggestions?

Quick dip in the pool...

Temperatures are dropping.

I need it badly - a few moments to relax. Worked on my steps for two days, just finished phase 2a. I am exhausted. Nevertheless - I should jump into the water. I am sure it will be balm for the joints (my mind as well).

Not logging food today again. No breakfast but the bpc this morning. Throughout the day, taking mini breaks grabbed a few slices of cold cuts... that was it. Surprisingly no carb craving today and I did not get the feeling that I was running on the last drop of energy.

I decided to have a up of coffee leaning back accompaniedby a finger of vodka. First drink this season! Wow!!!
I am not sure I will have the energy to fire up the grill later. I thawed some chicken and would not mind eating it.... well, I guess if I want to I have to!😂

Shot up my carbs yesterday!

I was working on my steps again, wishing for the day this project is done. It is unnerving and frustrating not to know enough to make this an easy thing and having no one around who I could ask for advice. Not to talk about working alone. Things usually go way better and easier if I am not working by myself. But that really would be the exemption. So, I have to deal with it.

It was hot, I sweat like crazy. Worked under an umbrella so I would not get burnt and managed to set the first row of deck broads. The main part needs to be done today since I ran out of screws and to get some more meant to take a shower, change and drive 30 min to the next hardware store.

Anyway, during the course of the day it felt like I needed some carbs. No energy, it felt like I was running on the last drop of fuel. No, I did not give in. I was so hungry that no food felt right. Do you know that feeling?

After I successfully obtained some more screws it was too late to continue with the job. I cleared everything up and decided to go for some calamari. It's a favorite dish of mine. A lot of times I make them at home, not breaded but sauteed in butter and garlic. Delicious!

I wanted to be out. It was a warm night, I wanted to go somewhere.
Not that I had any company. Solitude as always but I got calamaris and they were so delicious. And no, I did not take the breadcrumbs off. Ate them as they were, it was not a large portion anyway but is satisfied my cravings and my hunger. Logging it this morning, well, it definitely does not look so bad. "phew"
