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
Breakfast:    Skipped
Lunch:         Keto Lasagna
Supper:        Chicken Shirataki Noodle soup - Recipe to follow
Exercise:      30 minutes of Youtube dance exercise
                      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


Day 19
Weight(kg): 84
Breakfast:    Skipped
Lunch:         Fried 3 eggs  + 4 strips of bacon
Supper:        Almond Fufu + Vegetable Soup

Comments:  I am back to day 10 weight. Waoh. What can I say?
I am encouraging myself not to give up. Perhaps this is just water weight


Day 21
Weight(kg): 82.3
Breakfast:    Skipped
Lunch:         Fried 3 eggs  + 4 strips of bacon 
Supper:        Keto Lasagna

Week 16 on Keto

As a result of my weight being stagnant for a couple of weeks, I decided to come out of Ketosis and then go through 5 days of no carbs (as much as possible) this week. Coming out of Ketosis at the end of last week shot my weight up and then it crashed down with the 5 days no carbs.  I lost 2.4KG this week with a total net weight loss of 10.8KG. This is not the lowest I have been on the Keto challenge, I am however feeling happy with the results of the no carbs and plan to do it again in about a month or so. Below is what I ate and did this week Day 106 Weight(kg):  78.2 Breakfast:    Skipped  Lunch:          1 cup of cooked spicy ground beef + 3 Tbs of butter  Supper:         1 cup of cooked spicy ground beef + 3 Tbs of butter Exercise:       30 minutes exercise on Lift App                           1 hour walk on the trails  Comments:   0.6KG drop.
