Week 3 on Keto

WHAT A WEEK!!!!!! The scale kept creeping up for most of the week in spite of "doing the right thing". It was SOOOOO discouraging for the most part. I had to keep encouraging myself not to give up. The weight finally came crashing down though  phew!!! I decided to draw a graph for a visual representation of the week 😄😄

All in all, I lost 0.9KG at the end of the week for a total of  4.9KG lost. So, all is well that ends well 👏👏here is another overview of what I did and ate this week. I will update the recipes that I don't have up yet. So, stay tuned

Day 15
Weight(kg): 83.2

Breakfast:   Tazo Sweet Wild Orange Tea 

Lunch:         Quesadilla

Supper:        Cheesy Cauliflower 

Exercise:      37 minutes of exercise using the Lift Session App
                      30 minutes leisurely walk
Comments:  I had chilli and almond bread yesterday for supper and had an upsurge in my weight. I will keep an eye out for that. Maybe switch out when I eat almond bread / watch the combination of almond bread and chilli?.

Day 16
Weight(kg): 83.3

Breakfast:   Skipped

Lunch:         2 cups lettuce, 2 fried eggs, lots of olive oil and salt + pepper to taste

Supper:        Nigerian Vegetable Soup - Recipe to follow

Exercise:      35 minutes on the treadmill
                      40 minutes leisurely walk
Comments:  Am I going in the opposite direction or is this just a fluctuation that can be expected from day to day?

I noticed that I have not been doing very well with regular bowel movement even though I am drinking at least 2 litters if water. I read somewhere to drink apple cider viger + lemon juice in warm water first thing in the morning. I did that, we'll see if it helps in that department.

I decided to make a spicy Nigerian vegetable (spinach) soup sprinkled with bitter leaf to see if that also jars my bowels into movement. Frankly, I had as much as I wanted for supper, # of carbs be damned 😨😭

Day 17

Weight(kg): 83.7

Breakfast:    Skipped

Lunch:         1.5 cups Chicken Soup

Supper:        Mixed Veggie Cauliflower Rice 

Exercise:      37 minute walk

                      40 minutes weeding the garden
Comments:  This looks like a genuine stall. I think it is too early to be stalled. So, I skipped the bulletproof tea this morning and decided to eat what I ate on day 1 of the challenge. Let's see what the scale says tomorrow.


Day 18
Weight(kg): 83.8

Lunch:         Keto Lasagna

                      40 minutes leisurely walk
Comments:  I am not super surprised at the jump. I am also not sure if it is getting close to that time of the month. If that is not the case, I might have to jar my body back into weight loss again with SOMETHING. I have not decided what yet. We'll see though
