It's time to get back on track!

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!
