Yesterday was Sunday, which is my day off cooking, so here's how I made out while eating out:
Breakfast- BPC, 1 sausage patty
Lunch- 1 Gator's Dockside side salad, no tomato, with blue cheese dressing, 1 Gator's Dockside 1/2 lb burger (no bun) with 1 slice cheddar, 2 slices bacon, about 2 tbsp shredded lettuce and 1 slice red onion, with zero carb hot sauce and mustard as condiments, 1 unsweetened tea with 1 lemon wedge and 1 packet Splenda
Dinner- 2 Publix hot n spicy unbreaded wings, 4 celery sticks, 1 tbsp ranch, 10 green olives, 1 square 85% chocolate
As you can see, I'm staying on track with not snacking. It's amazing how I'm just not hungry. I was hungry all the time pre-keto. Now, for the stats:
Last week I weighed 200 lb, had 38.9% body fat, and a 40.5" waist.
As of this morning....
Weight- 200 lb (no change)
Body Fat %- 37.4% (-1.5)
Waist- 38.5" (-2)
Wow. I want to be disappointed that the scale didn't move, but how can I when I've lost 1.5% points in body fat AND two full inches off my waist? That's two NSVs. If this rate of fat loss continues I don't think I'm going to have a hard time reaching my goal of losing 3 % points of body fat by September.
Awesome!
Now for my other victories.
1. We went to see Jurassic World yesterday and I knew I would probably be tempted by the popcorn and snacks if I didn't prepare myself. So I stashed a little snack baggie of wasabi almonds and a quest bar into my purse. But you know what? I didn't even need it! I stuck to getting a bottle of water from concessions, and during the movie I didn't even pay attention to all the eating happening around me. And because I wasn't hungry I completely forgot I even had the snacks and just enjoyed my water and the movie.
2. I broke down and went shopping on Friday. This is a big deal for me because I'm a cheap you-know-what and I loathe buying clothes when there are perfectly fine ones in my closet. I'm the lady that wears literal holes in her clothes, and only then will I throw them out.
But I'm at the point where my plus-sized pants are so baggy they're falling off. So down to Kohls I went, where I picked up a few things and headed to the dreaded dressing room. Know what happened? I don't fit in the plus-sized clothes anymore. I've dropped enough in fat and inches that I'm wearing regular ladies clothing. I'm down one full pants size and between one and two sizes down in tops.
That's a victory, my babies!
3. When I started keto a bit over a month ago, I looked like this:
Now, in my new and better-fitting clothes, I look like this:
I am winning the battle with my body fat and it's all because of keto. And not only that, I am feeling better physically and am more awake than I have been in a long time. Gone is brain fog, perpetual sleepiness, and fatigue. I've got energy and I feel great! The proof is in the pudding, and this is proof that this WOL works and is living up to all the claims of good health and well-being.
Until we meet again, KOKO, my babies!
