Keto weight loss diary

[Hobbio]

I do need to get a grip on actual calories anyway, but more than anything I need to get my exercise back on track! I'm limited in the times I can get out on my bike and my home gym still needs clearing out. I have a cross trainer, but it's not the best and I don't trust it not to break so I'm on the lookout for a cheap exercise bike on ebay from a quitter. I've got my about 6 on my watchlist within 5 miles, there's never a shortage of them.

I think that I'm going to bring some of my weights in, even though I can't get to my bench. I can do plenty without it, so I think that I will. The Mrs won't be too impressed but it might hurry up the garage clearance!

Food today:

Meal 1 - 200g approx pork, broccoli, splash of gravy, approx 50g walnuts

Meal 2 - 4 egg omelette with 100ml double cream and 70g pancetta, approx 50g mozzarella, blob of reduced sugar brown sauce

Meal 3 - 2 x tesco salami sticks

Total kcals approx 2275

Squash today - 5 pints

Tested again today and I'm still not in ketosis. My fats today have definitely been higher than my protein, so hopefully tomorrow will see me back there.

Good luck getting exercise back into your routine. Weights sound like a good plan. Plenty of you tube routines if your usual workouts are getting rusty!

I'm still avoiding exercise for as long as I can. Doing quite well!

Know what you mean about ur wife not being happy about weights appearing. I had my turbo in front of the TV in the lounge. OH was away and i wasn't expecting any visitors

I didn't get the weights out yesterday, we found out that one of the cyclists killed on Le Jog a few days ago is a relative of ours, my Mother-in-Law's cousin. We met up with them last year, he was a really nice bloke and leaves behind a wife and 2 daughters. About an hour after my wife was told this she found out that a close colleague of hers had also passed away suddenly. There were more important things yesterday than worrying about a diet and training.

I'm going to reduce calories today, but still keep fat higher than protein.

Food today:

Meal 1 - 170g chicken breast, big handful of salad, 30ml approx ceasar dressing, 50g approx walnuts (Approx 640 kcals)

Meal 2 - 6 fried eggs, 6 rashers thick cut bacon (220g), blob of reduced sugar HP (Approx 990 kcals)


Squash today: 7 pints

Total kcals (approx) - 1630

Thanks Maggie.

I'm looking to stay around the same sort of kcals today, and I'm playing racketball after work. I can't get out on my bike tomorrow, but Sunday I should be on for a decent run. If I can keep my kcals below 1800, excercise and get back into keto then it should melt off me.

Hopefully

I'm not expecting any losses tomorrow, I'll be happy if I've maintained 95kg.

 

[Hobbio]

I've just bought an exercise bike off eBay for £26 that I'll hopefully pick up tomorrow, so I can back on to the daily cardio. Woop!

Food today:

Meal 1 - Large roast chicken breast with skin on, handful of salad, 45ml ceasar dressing (Approx 700 kcals)

Meal 2 - 100g smoked ham, large handful of salad, 30g (approx) full fat mayo, 25g monkey nuts (Approx 470 kcals)

Snack - 1 Tesco fake pepperami (125 kcals)

Total kcals (Approx) - 1295

Squash today: 6 pints

I'm stuck in the office Maggie

I like your mini challenge, should do you good. I just want to get everything set up at home so I can get back under the weights but it's taking a bit of time sadly.

 

[Hobbio]

Just tested myself after racketball and I'm slightly in keto, but only just. I know that readings can be reduced after exercise and that the ketostix aren't always acurate, but I'm still a bit disappointed.

O.k, weighed myself this morning and I'm at.........95kg still lol.

To be honest, after last weekend I jumped up to about 98kg so I'm glad to hold 95. I'm picking up that exercise bike today, so I'll be on the cardio daily from here on in and I've got some new recipes to try so my meals are a bit more interesting. Meat crust pizza and quiche anyone?

In a bit

 

[Forever fat n 'bubbly']

Meat crust pizza sounds nice. Be interested in how that's made! You can keep the quiche... (Egg allergy!)

Good luck with the bike

Here is the link for the meat crust pizza Maggie, I've cooked the quiche (Approx 453 kcals per slice - noted for my benefit later) cos I couldn't find any sugar-free pasta or pizza sauce in Tesco. Exercise bike collected, dentist visited, now the weekend is mine!

Food today:

Meal 1 - 1 whole Mattessons smoked pork sausage, blob of r/s HP (Approx 725 kcals)

Meal 2 - 1 slice meat crust quiche, handful of salad, blob of mayo (Approx 565 kcals)

Hi Maggie, I can eat all types of meat and fish if I like.

I fell off the diet after I posted that last night! It's hard sticking to this 100%, but I'll persevere and get back on it. I may have to eat keto through the week and allow sensible carbs at the weekend to prevent munchie attacks like last night. I didn't go Maccy D mad, I just had some crisps and a mini flake or 2. I used to overeat badly every day, so just eating carbs 2 days out of 7 has got to be an improvement.

It will help exercising daily from here on in, so I'm hoping to see a drop by next weekend and I suppose the more I eat keto the easier it will get.

I didn't become obese because I find it easy to eat right and all these years of bad habits don't disappear overnight!

 

[Hobbio]

Got out on my bike for an hour, did 12 miles. Makes me feel a bit better for last night lol.

Well done for getting out on bike

Forgive me Al, for I have sinned. I have falleth off the Plan...

It started with drink with friend. Sparkling water. No probs. leaving there when newly engaged friend phoned. Arranged to drop into hers. "Stay for some dinner" (puppy eyes) "I'm making salad just for you..." Felt bad, don't spend enough time with her. She obviously knew I was gonna say "no, I'm on a diet!"
So I stayed for dinner. All the right stuff was there. Leaves, plain chicken...
but I made the wrong choice. Beetroot, coleslaw, crisps, slice crusty bread with butter... I even had a coffee and somehow I had peanut M+Ms and Skittles, so now I'm wired :-/

Anyway, back on it tomorrow... Glad I don't obsess about the scales or I'd be analysing my weight n feeling worse.

Hope ur better than me
