WOOHOO! Almost to my first mini-goal! I can honestly say this is the first time in my roller-coaster-dieting life that I have found a lifestyle that will not only help me lose weight but is also one that I don't feel DEPRIVED. I have always looked at food as something to covet and hoard, ESPECIALLY if it was something I wasn't allowed to have. I was a "sneaker" for years as a child, which in turn made be a binger as an adult. I made very unhealthy choices for years and would justify it with statements about how I never had these things as a child, so I SHOULD be able to have them as an adult if I wanted them. The problem with this whole situation is that I have always looked toward food for emotional comfort, not for sustaining my life. So here I am almost to my first mini goal of 250 lbs and it's just now starting to click in my brain. I should never seek solace with food, it's a surefire way to make all the wrong choices. Instead, I am looking at food as fuel to go into the "gas tank" of my body. I want to put the highest grade fuel in this machine, so it can operate as efficiently as possible for me. I know this is probably a corny metaphor, but it has helped me to be aware of my feelings toward food. I can honestly say, I don't miss the sweets (and I had a HUGE sweet tooth!). For the first time in my life, I can watch someone sit beside me and eat junk food of whatever variety and NOT feel like I am being deprived. More than the weight lost, that mindset is the best thing I have encountered on this lifestyle change. I look forward to making that mindset a habit.

I am happy to say, even though I wasn't able to fit in the exercise I normally do, I am STILL down another pound from 2 days ago! I have been researching MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) and their effects on the body, particularly our metabolism and am now fully on the coconut/palm kernel oil bandwagon. Coconut oil will now be a part of my diet everyday, starting with subbing out the butter in my Bulletproof coffee every day with Coconut oil. I will also be putting that oil on my meats as well. Hope everyone has an AWESOME day!

WOOHOOO! Down another pound! AND I got my workout in this morning (even after grumbling about it). I am so pleased with how Keto is working for me! Nick224 and I spoke quite extensively this morning regarding the Intermittent Fasting Keto diet and both of us agreed we are willing to try it. All the data we've found suggests it is the fastest way to shed those fat pounds. We shall see. We're starting it this Saturday. Let you know how it goes......

I feel SO GOOD!!! I am so excited to see the scale tip in the downward direction yet again, but with better results! I have tweaked my diet a little bit and upped my fat even more (to around 70-72%), dropped my carbs even more (to no MORE than 5%) and tried to stay between 24-27% protein. When I woke up Fri afternoon to start my Saturday (I work 3rd shift), I told myself I wasn't going to do my exercise today...but when I got home I dragged myself onto the treadmill anyway merely for discipline's sake. I mean, how can I possibly expect results if I am not willing to put in the effort, right? So, here I am following my morning weigh-in and LOVING the results. -2.8 lbs since yesterday's stalled weigh-in!!! I toast myself (Bulletproof Coffee in hand)and all the others out there trying to get to a healthy weight, we CAN do it!

SO, another 0.2 pounds gone and out of my life FOREVER! I know I probably could have achieved more between yesterday and today, but looking at my food journal, I was a little over on my carb intake yesterday (just by eating too many of certain veggies lol). Today, I will do better and it's still encouraging to see the weight come off. There are some people at work that think I can't keep up this low-carb lifestyle for the long haul. Won't it be awesome to prove them WRONG!!!!!
