Ok, this was just too cute not to share. I was just doing my exercises. I had my yoga mat out but was working with my ball off my mat. I turned around to find my dog on my mat... doing downward facing dog. I busted out laughing. I wish I'd had a camera in my hand to take a picture. If I tried to get him to do it on purpose he wouldn't have done it but because my back was turned he was just like, "I can do this." He can be so funny sometimes, but can't all pets. Happy journey guys.

Considering the difficulties I had this past week I very much count this as a victory. I still managed a loss of a pound and one inch off my hips. I still haven't gotten back on track with my exercise so I'm hoping to get that going today. I started to yesterday but had a mishap that brought me to a dead stop. I was having trouble with my wrist hurting yesterday. Nothing real bad just annoying. Then I put my weight on it for an exercise and it went from annoying to time to put the brace on. All that time I should have been exercising I spent on the computer so I was getting some carpal tunnel symptoms. Good excuse to not spend much time on here today and instead exercise. Well, happy journey everyone, take care.

AHHHH, HELP ME, HELP ME, HELP ME! I wanna eat; I wanna eat; I wanna eat; I WANNA EAT!

I've maxed out my carbs, I've had 2 fat bombs (they were soo good btw), and even though I don't normally drink it this time of night I'm making coffee to control the appetite. I'm craving SWEETS. I don't know what to do. According to my B.O. I'm still not back in ketosis the scales aren't moving and I'm fighting cravings for the first time during this transition. I know I messed up earlier in the week but I've been a very good girl since then. Getting back into ketosis has never taken this long in the past; it makes me think there is something else going on. Is it PMS? It is about time for that. But, I didn't have these problems last month, so what the heck man. Help! How do you deal with sugar cravings like this. I feel I'm going to go insane. Is it the low cals? But, I've been this low and lower without cravings. Is it because it is Saturday? My usual cheat day. Maybe, just maybe. But the cause isn't quite as big the concern as fighting the craving. I don't know how long I will be able to keep up this fight tonight. I'm not stressing yet but I am starting to feel a bit obsessed. Any suggestions out there on how to beat back sugar cravings? I could really use them right now.

Well, first time no movement on the scales. I know the culprits, at least I'm pretty sure I do. One, I haven't exercised as well as I should have this week. The only thing I've done is take the dog for some 30 minute walks; not much else. Secondly, two nights ago I kicked myself out of ketosis from snacking during a movie. I had freeze dried strawberries. In and of it's self not a bad snack, however I "mindless snacked". That means I have no clue how much I ate. One serving is 5 pieces and is only 4 net carbs. But, I don't know how many servings I ate, sooooo. What it all boils down too is that I became complacent, no if ands or buts about it. Also, I moved into on going weight loss and upped my carbs about a week ago. That move has thrown me off. I'm finding it much harder to stay in my carb range since making that move. Though I will admit that is most likely due to not planing my meals for the day. Like I said: Complacent.

Here's the thing though, the only decision I made at the start of this part of my journey was to not stress myself out over this. So I'm not feeling guilty, won't let that thought enter my mind. Not going to beat myself up. This is just another part of the journey. Just time to recommit myself and buckle back down. And, many of you will be glad to know, because I fubbed up I will be skipping my regularly scheduled cheat day this weekend. That means tonight there will be two dinners in my house since my family has requested red beans and sausage but that is still to expensive for me. Here's hoping for a better week next week and hoping all of you have a great and happy journey. XO

Ok, weekly measurements: Arms 13 (-1), Chest 43 (0), Waist 37 (-1), Hips 50 (-1 Yea, finally), Thigh 27 (0). I've seen the biggest drop in my waist; at this rate I will be needing a belt soon just to close the gap because my hips are slow to move. I'm sure it will all even out as I move along. I was just looking into hip to waist ratio (mine is .74 btw) and from what I'm reading my shape means it will be much harder for me to loose those hip inches but where I carry my weight is better for my long term health. Aparently, carrying weight on your hips instead of your mid section reduces your chance of heart disease and diabetes among other things. Learn something new every day. Happy journey everyone! :)
