I
know it has been a good while since I last posted a blog. So this
evening, I thought maybe I should touch base. (well, that, plus my
sister told me she missed my blogs! Thank you for that, Cindy!)
Yes,
I am still alive and kicking … And still Keto. But, I have been
doing the laid back version of Keto. (Ed's version) I have found
out, though, that the laid back version of Keto does not work so
well for me. I think maybe I just get a little TOO laid back.
I
have noticed that my jeans are getting tight. At first, I thought
maybe it was just that voice in my head that tells me I'm fat, but I
stepped on the scales and seen that I am up by five pounds (again).
So I took the ultimate challenge tonight; I tried on my old Parachute
Pants from 1984. Well, I got them up and even got them zipped. But
I wouldn't say I was wearing them.
This is me, actually wearing my parachute pants back in 1984!
And here I am, attempting to wear them this evening. Please note, that I did just work three 12 hour shifts. I came home and showered, but I didn't do anything with my hair and I am not wearing any make up!
They
say 10 pounds is a jean size and I believe it. I think once I get
these 5 pounds back off maybe they will “fit” again. And the shirt, too - for that matter.
So
yes, it is time to get serious again. I do NOT want to gain it ALL
back. It is time to get back on track before it gets too far out of
hand.
Weighing,
measuring, tracking – it really isn't that complicated if you have
the right tools. Which, I do. I use Myfitnesspal. And most of the
foods we eat regularly have already been plugged in under “my
foods”. I just need to use it.
So, stay tuned! Let's see how long it takes me to get these 5 pounds back off!
