I Screwed Up on Keto

I cheat a little on Keto but last weekend I had 2 bowls of cereal and bought windmill cookies at Dollar Tree and had them for a snack Monday through Wednesday.  I have been exhausted since Monday.  On Thursday, I packed more cookies but gave them away and ate celery with ranch dressing that I got in the cafeteria.  I feel like I used to feel.  No wonder I never got anything done.  Today, I am going to my sister-in-law's to lay by the pool.  I want to go to the gym and then visit my Aunt in the nursing home.  I am exhausted just thinking about finding a pair of shorts and packing lunch and stuff for my Aunt.  I could lay on this loveseat all day.  Send energy!

GreenEyes: Forgive yourself and start back again with your healthy eating. Try switching for bottled dressing (evil stuff) to real extra virgin olive oil (grown/harvested/pressed on same estate) and add either a red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar. I'm sure some sun for the Vitamin D and the healthy rays, along with fresh air is always good. Just enjoy yourself, if you can, and start fresh. ☺♥

Thanks lorrie! I don't usually use bottled dressing. I do use extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. I am down 87 pounds. My new job as a hall monitor keeps me very active but this is my last week at work for the summer so I will be back to going to the gym more often. I am feeling better. I had bought 4 boxes of cereal. I usually spread out my cheats but I went a little overboard. After many years of living in exhausted mode, it feels good to have energy. I love Keto!

I get it! I kick myself and get hard on myself too when I screw up on my diet. It's bound to happen from time to time, and it's OK. You seem to be doing overall very good on the diet with your weight loss and you know you feel good on it when you go back. I am proud of you and you should be proud too!

Thanks Goldie! Last summer, my best friend talked me into buying an expensive bathing suit and now it's too big but I don't want to gain weight back. So I need to go bathing suit shopping. It's a shame, I love the bathing suit but I'm giving it away. Lorrie, I did get some sun yesterday. It was so nice to be outside.

Awesome, you know what they say, just get right back on track.☺ It's nice to deserve a reward, like a new swimsuit! Could be like a boardgame, a fun reward for each level reached. I need to do this with my strength.

Lorrie, I'm feeling so much better! I've been at my best since before my screw up. I did a ton of stuff today. Now I have to cook chicken for dinner. They are having early dismissal at the school I work at all week. I am going to try to go in early each day. I already filled up my tank. Then I am off for the summer. I am meeting with a realtor on Tuesday about selling my house. I hate to do it but I kind of have no choice. I will be better off financially. So it's good that I have the summer off to work on this sale and finding a mobile home.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
