I missed posting a day or two. I'm still doing good! That would make today, day 19.
I think maybe next month I should try and delete the dairy and sweetener from my diet. It made a great crutch and saved me from eating real bad stuff but I don't like the way it makes me feel. So in an emergency it will work but not daily....

Day 20 and without dairy or sweetener.

Heather, you have accomplished so much in your life in the past year, I have no doubt that you can succeed at whatever you wish. Major weight loss, running a half-marathon, getting out of a bad marriage, not to mention the daily tasks of running a household and raising 7 kids at the same time! You are my hero.

14 days done today. I'm very low carb but I do put onions in my omelets and have a greek salad every now and again.
Went to see my psychologist today and she figures I'm well enough to call an appointment if I feel like it, so the depression is basically under control, all with diet. Imagine that!
Hi Heather, looks like you are doing great. Once I'm on holidays I'll catch up on everyone's progress or not, depending on how many books I have to catch up on.
|
Heather

Great job Kateryna! 
I had a momentary (4 day) lapse in judgement, so I'm back to day 1. I'm back on track now, I "should" be fine now even with Christmas coming.

NO SHIT!
I have been in the BEST mood eating this way! It might be "killing me" ... but, I sure feel good eating like this! Go figure!

I am headin' on to the 30 Day Challenge!

Dean  on your success.
I'm just starting day 18. Not even thinking of falling off plan and very happy. Not going anywhere and no cheat foods in the house and nothing scheduled to do so I'm very, very happy. It's one of those follow your mood and do whatever you like days.
My family doesn't celebrate Christmas tomorrow but on January 7th so while everyone is going bananas these last few days before Christmas, I have time off and I'm super relaxed. My son is spending some time with his girlfriend since her family celebrates the "normal" one.
My fridge and freezer is stocked eggs, chickens, 4 types of cheeses, salmon, shrimp, chops, bacon, and chicken breakfast strips, and onions, celery, nuts and red bell peppers.
This WOE is so simple I can't understand why people have problems, especially with the cooking part.
I can eat dairy so I'm not dissing that, at least not right now.

Out goes Heather... and in comes Dean!
Today is day 14 for me. I've been eating nothing but meat and eggs with a bit of butter for the last few days. It IS getting a bit boring, though. Will be making some smoothies tonight! Don't think I could handle complete zero carb, or true carnivore eating. I could do it... I think I have the willpower... but I don't know if I could stick to it for a long time. Especially without wine and coffee! 
I am gonna have to make some chicken wings and some beef ribs and some deviled eggs here real soon if I am gonna be able to stick to this WOE. I know I said I would allow myself to eat paleo, and that may mean getting some fruit... making some stews... that sounds kinda good at the moment. Guess I am just having some major carb withdrawals!

Got through Day 15 just fine! As I said, I may need to eat more paleo, and tonight I went ahead and got some fruit. I also got some beef ribs and chicken wings, and lots of eggs. Deviled eggs and smoothies, here we come. I am really glad I got off the java and wine. I know I was drinking wine to replace the fruit that I was not eating. Three years ago, I was eating paleo, and it was all so good. I lost 1.4 lbs of body fat every week eating that way. I had bison stews with brussels sprouts and mushrooms and carrots and butter. I am glad I gave up dairy too, but may need to have butter for some things... will try to limit it. This WOE is a lot like the way I ate back then. I'm sorta glad I'm back to it. I will probably eat a lot more meat and eggs than I did back then. Will probably lose body fat even faster. Back then I thought I had to eat fruits and veggies. Now, I am not so sure of that.

Yes, what a long strange journey it's been.

Today is Day 18! And, I'm still goin' strong!
I have to go easy on the fruit, cuz it just is not going to help me to eat too much. I wish I could just not eat any. Will have to see, once again, if I can manage that.
Today I have eaten one banana, and I didn't even like it.
I have also eaten beef steak.
Right now, I am making BBQ Beef Ribs!  Boy, do they smell heavenly! And, then I'm gonna make some hot chicken wings! Gotta have some carnivore treats around here, if I am to cut down on this stupid fruit consumption.
