When I think back (okay, look back on my blog), I started keto on May 14th. In just over a month I've lost 10 pounds. I should be over the moon! 10 pounds in a month is a ton of weight for such a small amount of time (at least for a person my size). According to the internet (which is always right), this is what five pounds looks like:
This keto diet really seems to have altered how my body loses. I've only lost 4 inches across my body, despite my ten pound loss. Ugh. My follow up with my doc for my abdominal tear is on Monday. Hopefully this means I'll be back at the gym in July. If I'm still not allowed to work out after Monday, I don't know what I'm going to do. Probably cry and watch Disney Movies while drinking a giant chocolate shake.

I totally get the frustration! It's like my body just doesn't seem to understand that it doesn't belong over 200. I'm 6 pounds away right now and if I don't get there soon I'll probably start screaming and not stop. Of course, it probably doesn't help that I'm the most impatient person in the world when it comes to "diets" and sticking to anything for any amount of time. A month into LCHF I decided to try carb cycling and that's just getting confusing so I'm thinking of going back to straight LCHF (but not keto) but I really don't know if I can see that being a forever w.o.e. Maybe I'll see how many carbs I can squeeze into myself while still being "low" ...
ReplyDeleteI hope you join me in the under 200 club soon! I've been hovering just below 200 for a while now and I'm ready to feel a little more secure about never seeing 200 pop up on my scale ever again. I too looked in to carb cycling, and while the idea is really appealing, I think I'm going to give it a month of being back at the gym before I decide how I feel about that. I can't really get a clear idea of how carb cycling is supposed to work and don't want to get flustered and give up.
ReplyDeleteHow many carbs are you eating now?
