Back again for my periodic check-in. Glad to see that so many of you are making gains and sticking to it. Even when there is a slip, you're back at it and dedicated. Well done.
Still doing the lazy Keto thing. Been watching carbs pretty tightly but will have some fruit (apple or orange usually) a couple of times per week. Been avoiding starches and simple carbs (bread, pasta, potatoes) pretty consistently. Last night was pork tenderloin on the grill with oven roasted broccoli & cauliflower. Pretty easy to do the Keto diet now that my wife and I have been doing it for 1+ years. Avoiding the high carb stuff is pretty easy now, even with a 16-year old in the house whose go-to meals are Orange Chicken and rice from Trader Joes or some sort of pasta. I made a great Bolognese sauce last weekend and just substituted plant-based
Miracle Noodles for regular pasta. Not quite the same experience but those noodles are a decent substitute.
I don't weigh myself everyday and when I do, it's usually on the weekend after I go for a run as it's when I feel like I'm at my "lightest". Hey, as long as I'm consistent with when I weigh myself, that works for me.
Since I really started on 1/1, I'm down 12 lbs after 7 weeks. A little less than 2 lbs/week. I think I'm building a little muscle so I'll accept that in exchange for the slower than normal weight loss in February.
1/1 - 234 lbs
1/5 - 232 lbs
1/13 - 230 lbs
1/19 - 228 lbs
1/31 - 224 lbs
2/11 - 224 lbs
2/21 - 222 lbs
I have been at 10k+ steps every day since January 1 except for two days that I fell asleep prior to midnight without realizing I hadn't hit 10k for the day. I'm still averaging about 11.5k steps since 1/1. Some days are harder than others, especially when I realize I am sitting at my desk all day and only have 2500-3000 steps at 6p. I can expect 1000 steps/10 minutes walking so if I'm 6k-7k steps down, I know that's going to be at least an hour walk. I'll also throw a run in there if I want to churn some more steps quicker. It hasn't been a huge struggle to hit 10k every day but there have been plenty of nights where I would prefer to sit on the couch and watch some TV or be on my computer in the evening but nope, it's time to get my ### up and outside to get to get to that magic number of 10k.
