Goodmorning STACers...Every morning I come here and refocus for the day. My REFOCUSING truthfully puts me on the right path to a successful day.
Each day requires focus and plans. I refocus on what I want and how to get it. As some of you know, I was in a stall, for a month no weightloss. Because our family was in a medical crisis with my Mom , I did not pay too much attention to the weight getting stuck or bouncing between a pound here or there...After all I had consistently lost almost 10lbs a month for 6 months. I had found a sugar free syrup, and was making little treats, like a mock french toast casserole with syrup over the top, and fake pancakes which were eggs and cream cheese and cream. I would eat a piece for a snack, or pop a spoonful in (only started that this last week after brining mother home)... I "let up" a BIT ON MYSELF...
On Saturday we reached day 200, and for some reason I grabbed a keto stick on my way to the bathroom, and the unthinkable was there...OUT OF KETOSIS...UNTHINKABLE TO ME.
I sat down and went over everything I had been eating. I was way out there on splenda, and the extra bites of this and that. I had just had a saturday morning piece of french toast (my mock kind)...feeling fine and now a crash!!!!
That was it for me. No more stuff! None, going back to induction. (Alot of people don't need to go back to induction and others have questioned this move, but for me, it's what I know, it's what works for me. It removes the "treats"...it gets sweets back in a place where they belong)
I was doing a modified induction. Where I kept to the basic 20gm and added in 5 gm increments...but some days, I added in 10gr increments...and then the spoonfuls! and desserts...(all legal) but causing me to take my carbs up to a place where it took me out of fat burning!
Who knows if I was "wrong or right" what I do know is I no longer was getting the results I wanted. So, I stopped doing one thing, and started doing another thing. Results are back. I am down 4lbs this week. But even more important is I was able to REFOCUS and stop myself from eating things that are not bad, but I was taking advantage of one more bite! For me and where I am going, I needed to stop that...Regain control and focus. I have goals I want to attain by my birthday! I am 2lbs from those mini goals coming true...I was 7 lbs from them last week.
I want weight loss and a healthy lifestyle, and the fact that I was able to stop eating things that were causing me to make bad choices ( a spoonful here and there is a bad choice for me) is a big victory for the lifestyle!!!!
