30 April 2018
I took a little break this weekend, and made it into something I used to call "strategic refeeding". I always told myself that these times were me taking a break from the calorie grind to break a plateau, or trying to teach myself how to eat for maintenance after this is all over, but in reality it was always just a binge session where I ate crap and drank soda.
But this weekend was different. I ate sushi and fried tofu with all the carbs I've been keeping low, but I practiced good portion control and loved it. And I gave no thought to portion control on Saturday night when we pigged out on grilled steak and veggies. And I had beer! (Low carb, of course, but still maybe a few too many :).)
There was no soda, no cookies, although I did indulge in a small ice cream from Coldstone on Sunday. It tasted so incredible! I spent 20 minutes savoring every bite of it, knowing it would be some time before I had another, and honestly, I think I enjoyed that one more than any other I've ever had.
I stepped on the scale this morning and am right where I started the weekend, so overall, I'm really happy with myself that I was able to take a bit of a break without sabotaging my progress and setting myself up for failure. And I don't feel like I'm counting down the days to the next one. I feel like I *want* to get back on my diet today, cause honestly, I'm feeling bloated and sluggish after eating so much, and I don't like it. It was a good break, but it's even better motivation to remind myself that I don't want to go back to feeling like this everyday.

Keto friends! Help!!!
We invited a couple we haven't seen for two years over for dinner tonight. She just messaged me to say that they're going to eat before they come because they're doing keto. I loled and told her that I've been doing low carb, and I have some nice porterhouses in the fridge, and that I'd be happy to make a keto meal. They accepted, and right now I could really use some advice.
What are your tastiest keto recipes to go along side a good steak?

Celebrating another loss, and I wanted to show you all this!
I belong to another site (one where you bet money on how much weight you'll lose in how much time and win a bigger prize) and they often put up little tips to help you stay on track. This is one that I have found to be incredibly helpful!
I bet that I'd lose 40 pounds in 6 months. The jar on the left contains the pounds I have left to go (plus those 3 extra to get me to onederland), and the jar on the right contains the pounds I've lost.
I keep these things front and center, so they're staring me in the face all day. Whenever I'm having urges or cravings, or whenever I'm just sick of eating my healthy food and thinking about running out for some take out, I take those pounds out of the "lost" jar, and I run them through my fingers while asking myself how many I want to put back in the "to go" jar.
Being as stubborn as I am, my answer is always, "None". And I put the pounds I've lost back into the "lost" jar and tell myself that is where they're going to stay!
And if you notice that pink post-it note there, that has my goals for the rest of April on it. I'm not doing as well on those, but I'm working on it, and keeping them right in front of me helps.
