A person who falls and gets back up again is stronger than a person who never fell.
So, I’m getting back up!
It’s been almost a year since I fell off. I tried lazy Keto but not tracking my macros wasn’t the right move for me. I tried being low carb, that was ok. I was maintaining a 2/3 lb up or down for almost 6 months and I felt good about that. However just before thanksgiving 2017, I fell off hard! Carb overload. Now, a year later… I’ve roughly gained back 10-12lbs. I’m definitely disappointed in myself because not only did I gain the weight, but physically and mentally… I feel blah! I still marvel at how “great” I felt while being Keto. But, life got to me and I wasn’t strong enough in my convictions to keep Keto going. Well, that’s going to change… now! If I fall, I’m getting back up!
I’m a true believer that you can have cheat days. It’s what you do after that that matters.
I am on day 3… I have been stuck on day 3 for what feels like months. The temptations, the craving, have won almost each and every time of restarting this journey.
My macros:
Day 1: C8%, F77%, P15% (15 net carbs)
Day 2: C14%, F67%, P19% (19 net carbs)
Day 3: C15%, F63%, P22% (55 net carbs) and 300 calories over!
Fell off again…. getting back on! My plan for tomorrow… I can do this!
Day 4: C8%, F74%, P18% (11 net carbs)
Documenting my journal the first time really seemed to help. I’m not a big fan of full body selfies, so let’s start with a face to face!
Can you tell the difference? I can. Of course we all see our own flaws. Mine are my cheeks. That’s were I hold everything.
Now that I’ve documented this… time to move on! Just like hitting the big 4.0! It’s my best life now, at 40 years of age! My goal is to get back into that high waisted bikini and rock my mom bod on vacation! 👙
Much love,
