step log from yesterday (2.19) on 2.20.18

Hello all!

I wanted to log my steps from yesterday so...

[2018allie]

I’m Back ! 2.13.18

Hey there!

I’ve been away from the blog for a bit and not sticking to keto. I’ve found that strict keto may not be for me but taking some pieces from the keto - handbook may be the best solution for me. Not no carb but low carb, as much as possible, less bread, more water, etc.

I had a period of having candy and wine and things because I was actually on my period lol and I was going through the stress of getting an IUD and then a ultrasound of my left breast, to make sure the mass found isn’t cancerous. So yeah a lot going on... but I have been trying to bring soups to work for lunch and have chicken and potatoes or home cooked meals more.

But anyways, this morning, I woke up at 5:30, went to the gym at 6:00 and worked out for about 45 minutes. Just a light workout, nothing too rigorous. But I feel good about it! I showered, got dressed for work, got coffee and a bite to eat and now I’m at work!

Here’s my steps for the day (by the way, I upped my goal by 1k and now I have a goal of 7,000 a day!). I am already at 51% of my goal! 🙂💓

Check in later!

1.27.18/ You Can Pick One Success, You Can’t Have Both 😭😂

This title isn’t true, but self - depreciating haha.

I didn’t eat well yesterday, I mean, I ate GOOD, but not well. Haha

First meal of the day:

Coffee and two bites of a donut (BAD ALLIE!!!! 😈)

BUT then I had water and went to the gym for about 30 minutes and killed it on the stair - climber and treadmill and worked up a good sweat, got about 2k steps and then went home and went out with my bf.

Leaving home, I drank some of the blackberry/vanilla protein/MCT oil shake I made and then I had 3 chicken fingers and some fries at Steak N’ Shake … 😈

Then I had a couple sips of a Sierra Mist and guiltily threw it away haha, it actually wasn’t great anyways, WHO NEEDS SODA ?!

I had sushi (first time ever !) for dinner and a small glass of red wine and a vodka martini. 😬😬

But I GOT 11k steps!!

That’s my personal best, I believe.

I did change my Garmin watch goal to 6K, just because it’s more attainable – but of course, since I went to a meeting, then the gym, and walked around a lot yesterday, I got 11k! 

So far I have had a medium coffee (again, not keto, with sugar…I know, I know), and I am drinking water…and I had a bacon wake - up wrap from dunkin. Good for keto, minus the wrap. Not sure if I even get a lunch at work today, but I may just try to have something delivered.

I have another Quest bar in my desk I saved from the other day, just in case I don’t get to eat or want something sweet.

So far my steps today are 572… haha..

Mid - day steps check. Not bad for only just walking to the restroom and in and out of the restaurant where I ordered my food and the grocery store and back into work ! 😂

Back on my game 1.25.18

Hello!

So after last night’s binge I didn’t feel well, I was sluggish and tired.

This morning I had a (non- keto just black with Stevia) coffee and a green tea and just water up until now, it is 1:36 p.m. and I have gotten a nice Caesar salad with chicken and cheese and bacon crumbles with avocado! 🙂

I also got a Quest bar in case I want some chocolate or something later. And I have almonds and pumpkin seeds in my desk. 🙂

I cheated 😢 1.24.18

Hey there !

So today, I had lots of water and keto coffee again.

I had a protein bar, which wasn’t the best idea, as it had 13 g of sugar and about 16 carbs, but lunch was very successful!

I had a side salad and I had grilled chicken on a bed of lettuce with barbecue sauce, no bun.

But I was still running errands after work and I didn’t feel like cooking and besides that, I had no idea what to cook! I got McDonald’s... 😣 I had one McChicken, a medium fry and a 4 - piece nugget, still water but I figured if I’m cheating, might as well do it up... I ate the rest of the Pumpkin Spice cookies ... 😣 so lots of sugar and bread today.

Tomorrow my keto cookbook arrives and I am excited to learn more recipes and be more creative with food while still being healthy!

Hello!

Here’s a brief update of today (I typed this all out and lost it once already!!!) .

Lunch:

(Not pictured) Grilled chicken wrap, lettuce and cheese, no tortilla, chopped up and eaten, and a Caesar side salad without croutons !

Snack: a couple pieces of 70% cacao dark chocolate, raw almonds and pumpkin seeds.

Dinner: Another delicious turkey burger with cheddar and provolone on a lettuce wrap with bacon and olive oil mayo, pepper/pink salt, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes !

Off - Day, First Day 1.22.18

Good afternoon,

This morning I had keto coffee for breakfast, no food.

Today I started a new job, and my boss bought me lunch so today I was a little bad and didn’t stick to the no - grain/ no - bread. I had a BLT with oat wheat bread, and one roll because how often does your boss buy you lunch on your first day ?

Tonight’s dinner and tomorrow I will be vigilant. 🙂

Not getting a ton of steps today, as this job is like my former job, another desk job. But here’s an update so far at 1:30 p.m.

Check in later ! ✌🏻

[2018allie]

Yay !!!! Over 50% of my goal was reached today ! Now it’s bed time and let’s see if I can get to 7k tomorrow ! 💕🙂

[2018allie]

First Keto (homemade) Lunch

AMAZING ! This is my recipe for a turkey burger with cheddar cheese on a lettuce wrap bun with olive oil mayo and bacon ! Also having medium heat salsa on the side with yellow corn tortilla chips and water with lemon! 💪🏻✨🤤

Cooked with Kerrygold butter and coconut oil ! Also threw some freshly minced garlic clove in with the oil and salt/pepper !
