Weight loss

Ok people, update on the weight loss.

I am one week in and decided to go low carb which means really watching what I eat. It also means that I am trying to stay in Ketosis. I measure that by getting what they call Keto sticks. This is about as silly as it gets but when you pee on them if they change colors then all is going good. If they don't change then you can look back at what you have eaten to figure out what has made it gone array.

They say you should do it once a day, same time but I have found that I test it every time I go to the bathroom. I like doing it this way because instead of having to weigh in on a daily basis I get immediate feedback multiple times a day and then I do a weigh in once a week. So here is my results from last week.

total weight lost: 4lbs

• Things I did well: stuck to the plan pretty well

• Slip ups: Note to self, don't make a birthday cake when on a diet. The finished cake wasn't the problem it was the clean up and licking the bowl clean.....yeah it was oh so yummy.

• Things to do better: More exercise. Although for the most part I did pretty well, went to the gym 3 times, burned minimum of 400 calories and one day jen and I went for a power walk and someone made me run a little bit too.

I need a goal though, something to work toward like a marathon or something. I have decided that I shouldn't run though. My body hurts after I run so that is going to have to stay on the side until I lose more weight so that it doesn't jar my body as much.

Ok, we'll see you next week.

As long as you're sharing your weight loss progress, I'll share mine. As you know WW is my choice, but I also limit carb intake. My diet partner and I have made a pact - everyday we MUST write down everything we eat, or pay the other person $12. To stop binging, we decided a penalty of 1 hr. extra of walking was required if we do binge. Good luck to you!!Mom
