Ok, So I’ve been back on Keto for about a week now and I’m down 8.2 pounds. Granted, it is mostly just water. I know this because I gained about 5 pounds while we were on our road-trip the week before last, We spent 2 days driving there, 2 days exploring the area (more driving) and 2 days driving back home. I got very few steps in and I wasn't selecting the best options for my meals or for road snacks. I knew I would be up when we got home. And I was.
I also know that it's mostly water because I have even been getting up in the night (a couple times, at least) to go to the bathroom. This is very unusual for me. I am pretty sure I've about eliminated all the retained water now.
Anyway, below is my weight-loss
chart since I've been back on track, complete with my macros for each day. I even included my calorie intake for each day, even though on Keto they say you do not have to count calories. I decided to track it and see if it does make a difference.
The day I ate the most calories (2024) I lost 1.4 pounds the next morning. The day I gained 1.2 pounds I had only eaten 1318 calories the day before. But I ate more carbs (6%, not 5%) So, was the gain because of the extra carbs, or did it take a day for the excess calories to catch up to me?
I know the weight loss will slow down now, since I have eliminated all my retained water, And I'm not quite half-way to my goal yet. How long will it take me to drop the remaining pounds? Time will tell.
I still need to get myself back on the exercise bike - so far I have ZERO miles for the year. What am I waiting for? I think warmer weather. I admit, I would much rather be riding my roadbike, not the stationary bike. But eventually, I will get myself back into that routine.
Anyway, as promised, I will include my "What I ate in a day" food logs for this week. I decided to do several days, not just a day, so you can get a better feel for this way of eating.
Again, if you do not have it, I highly recommend you download MyFitnessPal so you can log your food - before - you eat it, to make sure it fits your macros. And again, if any of you do download it and need help setting it up, just send me a private message and I will help you set it up. Also, feel free to add me as a friend (grandmadebby1) I have my food diary set up for sharing. I don't know if the recipes are shared on it, but if you ever see a food I've logged and you want the recipe, feel free to PM me for that, as well.
As I said the other day, I do often eat the same thing. The Enchilada Meatballs for example. His recipe makes 63 meatballs. With just the two of us eating them, it takes several days to get through them.
Anyway, I hope this blog was helpful and not just boring information.
