Here we are in 2023

 It has been a while. life has been up and down... i am still loosing and gaining weight.. 

Been walking more and moving all the time

Have changed the way I eat. More aware of the Sugar and Salt intake. making my own bread and bake good. Eating less out, While trying to support my Families likes. Yeah it is hard sometimes but It Can Be Done. Just talking to them and explaining how certain activities case you to back track or how it makes my body feel. That really helps and I also do not feel guilty to just wag out and stay Home.

Keto Life and weight lost

I have been keto for some time. Started by just watching my carb in take and increasing my protein intake. Then found out it was hard to stay in the ketosis state. Researching I found there was a easy way to stay in Ketosis. It started drinking coffee with a keto cream product. Not a fan of Powder creamers however, this one was really good. Then I started drinking a keto drink at midday, To help me stay in the Ketosis state. Decided to a eliminate sugars and flour ( gluten products). Started taking MCT oil. I have really notice a change, Memory is better as well as I have more energy. I am now losing pounds again and sleeping much better at night. Will stay on this life changing path because I really do feel better.

A Message of Truth

I got the following message.

Are you really doing an intake of 12000 calories a day like it says in the upper left hand corner of your blog? I hope that is a typo.
I am in the same boat your in and following your journey. Good luck to you. Candy

Wow, No one else caught that in the year I had it up. Yes Candy it is a type O. It should read 1200-1500 calories. I fixed it today.

The truth is I really haven't been counting my calories. Mostly I have been just cutting back the amounts. Habits are so hard to break. At times I just throw in the towel. This year I really need to get a support group. One that will really support me. Some how the folks on line just fall through the cracks. They start out given good support then in a couple months, stop dropping by and no comments. Even a just checking in would be a great support. knowing that someone is watching and listen is the object here. Oh I know I do the same thing. I think it's because the process is so slow. And then finding things to write about is hard. Who wants to write " didn't loose this week" or "another month of ups and downs, Lost 2 pounds, gained two pounds." Oh yes this is so frustrating for everyone.

Well, I heard that there is a 17 day plan. I wonder how that will work? Guess it would help in breaking the habits. Eating certain things and exercising for the 17 days. Do you watch Dr Oz and The Doctors? They have some great ideas for loosing weight. I love the one on training for a run. Any run, it could be a cancer one or just a city marathon. One does not do it to win, just to complete it. I heard some folk lost 20 to 40 pounds just training. But must of all they did not have to change their eating.

You see I do eat healthy. No junk food and very little sweets. Still I fight the weight. My daughter is in the same boat. She is a teen and is trying to loose. Now that's just crazy, it is the hormones I am sure. How can one fight the hormones in your body. Well that a different topic for a another day.

Candy thanks for the heads ups on the numbers. Fixed them and now on the path to a thinner me. I can do it this year!

Now one more thing , for this year I would love to have a support group here on this blog. Below there is a link. Link up your blog and I promise to read and support you daily and week. When ever you write I will stop by and give support in your comments.

So Tired, In Pain and Feeling Blue

Well I went to Dad for Fathers Day. Did well on my weight and loved being with him. Just us two. We went out a couple times and then Watched movies together.
Had to come home on Wednesday, traffic was not bad. I was glad to see the family. However things started to get back to normal fast. The work and demands of the Home put me in a whirl.
My daughter had a doctor appointment and the doctor told her she has to loose weight to manage her PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian syndrome). Now this is hard because teens can be rough to work with. They want to be independent and Not be told what to eat and not to eat. I have been looking for sites as well as a nutritionist for her. Trying to make peace in the house.
My hand is starting to hurt the more I use it. In therapy at the present time. Everyone wants me to open the pool that it very hard for me to do. I will need help and they are not eager to give it! I feel so overwhelmed and all I want to do is blog and drink Coffee!
So here I am tired, In Pain, and Feeling Blue.
