Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing well.
I am back to share about my health/food journey and how it is going. My cold, or whatever I have, has gotten worse....so I am just trying to get through that.
I am trying to stick to low carb as much as I can, but I am not worrying about being strict about it.
I did weigh in, and luckily my weight is down. Not to my lowest, but I am down from my last week long binge.
What were my numbers, and what did I eat yesterday (Friday the 6th)?
Fasting sugar: 163
Meal 1~
2 or 3 slices of turkey
1 slice of cheese
1 serving of pizza flavored potato chips
Also had 1 thin Reese's.
Meal 2~
Hamburger patty, I did skip the bun
4 fries (literally)
Blood sugar: 145 (still high from meal 1 probably)
Meal 3 ~
Ravioli...yes, I know not low carb at all, but comfort food.
Then finished the night with an ice cream cone.
Definitely not the worst day, but not good either. We'll see in the A.M. how bad it was.
Macros? This will just be an estimation...
Calories: 1,533
Protein: 66
Fat: 72
Net Carbs: 140 
The majority of the carbs did come from the last meal and dessert. So much for doing better in September. I won't give up though.
Did you do better than me yesterday foodwise?

You probably have a sinus infection, I've had one and they are terrible! I hope you can get some antibiotics and you feel a lot better. I love ravioli! It's one of my favorite comfort foods:)

@MommyOfEli2013 When I had a sinus infection, it wouldn't go away. Allergies do the same thing, they never clear up.

Wondering if that's what it is....but don't want to go to the doctor over it, especially when I have a 6 month check up in October. Thank you very much though! Ravioli is delicious! Glad you enjoy it as a comfort food too.

@kobesbuddy Oh really, allergies do as well? I am honestly not sure what this is....Whatever has cough, runny nose, post nasal drip (I guess that's what it is called).

@MommyOfEli2013 I féel great on keto and have more energy, but I really get frustrated with the slowness of my weight loss . 10 pounds in 8 weeks. I guess it's my age. I have lost some in inches though.

That's a good amount....when I am on plan, I allow 20-25 net carbs.

@Tampa_girl7 Well feeling great, and having more energy is a really great benefit! I am sorry the weight loss is slow though. Losing inches is great though!

Yeah, I already knew they were high....but just being honest. Yes, getting over this constant cough is my main concern currently. I will get back on plan tomorrow, so at least I am not going on a week long binge, again.

@MommyOfEli2013 ;) yes. but there is a cheese stick i love a lot. it has lots of mozzarela in it. so when you bite it, that sticky cheese makes it perfect.

I ate a salad made of tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, onions, parsley, lemon...
2 brazilian nuts, some almonds and cookies, pomegranate.
I suggest you better focus on vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other healthy materials.
Good luck on your journey. Focus on your inner thoughts, be aware of when you get hungry for vegetables and healthy natural food. Many discussions here on mylot, really help changing the mind for healthy food. They help us think a about what we read.
