HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY WEDNESDAY
Accountability Mission: No Mercy and No Excuses
Sorry I missed Tuesday (if anyone noticed). My Christmas count down is making me nervous. so much to do, so little time...
Now for the reason we are here:
Tell the whole truth and be accountable. How much thought have you given to those December special occaisions? Its not just about sticking to plan.
- It is equally about learning to enjoy the festivities as primary and the eats further down the line of reasons to part take.
- It is especially about knowing how to select foods that will not create imediate or delayed gastrointestinal distress. What to eat is more than for weight loss and maintenance.
Worth repeating:
- Have a plan for selecting foods before heading to those special occaisions.
- Have a plan for your week that incorporates your special occaisions.
- Have a plan for your calories and stick to it or pay back any excess.
An apropos cliche: Failing to plan is planning to fail.
...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

LV'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Still holding to ketogenic eating. However, since my ratios were already off due to my carelessness I decided to move into the more typical low carb ketogenic diet. It am still eating true ketogen just different nutrient ratios.
Well guess what, no **** sherlock, ketosis has dropped to trace although I should be loosing. I peeked at the scale and arrgh it moved the wrong way. I am dreading tomorrows weigh in. It looks like I need to stay true ketogenic forever if I want to reach and maintain my ideal weight. Time to redraw the plan.

I hate that I am scale dependent. It can really wreak havoc with my mind. However when I don't check-in, it definitely moves the wrong way. Wednesday went well with intake. I may have to start lower carb first of year. I hate to set goals, hate to fail. If I stick to my goals, which are reasonable, failure will not happen. A revelation. Guess I gotta just do it.
With I will succeed.

Scales are an objective measure. Not perfection but if it keeps me honest I'll endure the love/ hate relationship.
You know how I feel about waiting till next never. Pick a mini goal and start working thos carbs downward. Challenging but doable so you are not aetting up for failure. That's how I would work it.
You've already achieved much success. You can keep it going.
