Up 3 Pounds

I am not sure what is going on.  I changed my habits of eating non-Keto foods starting last Tuesday.  My brother gets me to go out to eat sometimes and I reluctantly got a calzone.  It took me 3 times to eat the whole thing.  Last night I had salad.  This morning I had my usual breakfast.  Got on the scale before my shower and I was up to 145.  I can't believe it.  I have cut down on my snacking, added a day at the gym, but have less walking at work.  My ideal weight is 140.  Sometimes, I notice that if I'm good, it won't show up for a few days and the same with being bad.  So maybe the calzone is catching up with me?  I am not happy.

. I haven't weighed myself or been to a regular doc appointment in close to 15 years. I know I have gone up some. I try to fit in an hour of walking every day. I also try for 8 glasses of water each day. I'm also trying for 8 hours of sleep and cutting down on fried and carbs. My mom had tons of health concerns from heart disease, diabetes, kidney issues and more. After 25 years of medical appointments and to a of medication management with her I decided to only go to doctors when absolutely an emergency. I should work more on prevention since I was employed by cancer.org for nearly 15 years and was a strong advocate for Womenheart.org

I've noticed that anything with a lot of salt, will make the scale fluctuate.

Keep doing what you're doing, add in some more walking or exercise bike if possible (that helped me a lot with losing weight, I would do just 20 minutes on the bike, 3 times a week, and saw a huge difference, and it wasn't that hard to do it. At least I could sit down, lol).

Weight will fluctuate. That's okay. Don't get discouraged.

Good morning Ladies! Mel, that's amazing! I am on so many medications that I have to see my doctors regularly. I try to walk the halls when I am at the bathrooms but not when it is busy. I weigh myself several times a week. But I've always said that your clothes don't lie and will let you know when you have gained or lost weight. Girl, I switched from the bike to the treadmill and I think it's a better workout. I do put a lot of salt on my salads when I have cucumber and/or hard-boiled egg. Thanks!

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.
