February 3- February 9
Oh my goodness, I can't believe that the fifth week is already here! The first five weeks have gone by quickly and fairly painlessly with little to no slip ups or temptations. The fat content really leaves me feeling satisfied and my blood sugar level so my "hanger" and my cravings are really rare if ever. The hubs and I did treat ourselves heavily yesterday... I basically threw keto out the window for a day but we just made sure to enjoy it and then we are back on track for the coming week (starting the 6th week as I write this). So spoiler alert, I'm not testing for ketones today nor am I weighing myself. I know I won't be in ketosis and I also don't want to see the fluctuation in water weight so I will just wait a week before I do either of these. Normally I would feel really disappointed with myself for this "slip" but I am actually happy with it. I went five weeks before really going outside of the ketogenic diet and I still feel really good. It also rejuvenated me to focus and rein it in for this week. I find that after having a pretty decent "treat" that it makes it easier for me to be motivated and focused to dial back in my nutrition. Some people it might make the pendulum swing the other direction and it might open the door to just throw the diet out the window, so just make sure that you know yourself before making these food choices. Neither is bad or good, or right or wrong, it just depends on what your goals are and how you want to approach life in your nutrition.
February 10- February 16
I'm not gonna lie... I'm losing steam. I haven't been sticking to eating keto... I'm not happy or proud of it but it's true. My aim is to rein it back in this coming week and then be solidly back on track by the week of the 24th. So... super disappointed in myself but there's not much more to say. Sighhhhhh
February 17- February 23
Getting back on track... ditching sugar again and feeling pumped and ready to crush these next 5 weeks!!!
February 24- March 1
Ok! So, I'm feeling super unmotivated to finish this challenge. Just being real with y'all. I want to finish strong but man I really have a mental block about it and I totally have this attitude of "eff it". BUT I'm not going to give in to that. I know that if I stick to it for like two more weeks then I will feel and see the effects and that will be enough motivation for me to finish it out.
SO I'm going to track my food again for these last 4 weeks (writing this on February 28). I think it just makes me really mindful of everything I'm eating and NOBODY likes to write down that they binged on something... no one wants to see or acknowledge just how many calories that is! hahaha.
While right in this moment I'm feeling like I just wanna throw in the towel, I know that in a week or so I will be really excited about how I feel and motivated to finish strong. Not going to weigh myself until March 9th, but I will start measuring ketones again next Thursday.
