One step forward, two steps back.
November is my thing that needs to change for a while. I have been completely inactive for years when it comes to restoring my health. I’ve been at a loss as to how I can change my diet without my three daughters learning unhealthy eating or that their value comes from the number on the scale and am completely overwhelmed every time I look at changing my meals . Like, take an anxiety medication to be overwhelmed.
And then Covid. My biggest risk factor for Covid complications is my weight. At 4′ 9″ tall, it doesn’t take much to put me in the obese category. And that pissed me off.
So November, I decided to start even though I didn’t know where to start. I started logging my food and I slowly lowered how many calories I ate. I saw 10 pounds drop in relatively short order. And that is beyond incredible.
In early May, I took the plunge and began intermittent fasting. That brought me out of the slump I was in. So at the end of May, I jumped on Keto.
And I lost 23 pounds. I went down a size in shirts and some jeans.
I have 35 more to lose if I follow my goal and 41 more pounds if I follow the charts.
I’m really excited but it’s slowing down again. I don’t see a big drop like others are talking about with Keto. I’m still the one losing and having. I get at least 10,000 steps every day. A few days of walking and more and more running. I have started going to the gym with my daughter.
Where is my rapid weight loss that others are talking about on Keto? Why am I still crawling down, back and forth?
I’m happy with the 23 pounds lost but will everyone else lose or am I just fooling myself?
I want to swallow so bad but I’m going outside to play crossnet with my girls.
Live until you Grow!
