Over the 3 days of my second egg fast cleanse I lost a total of 3.6 after a slow start. Not bad, but not nearly as good as last week’s results, especially since I gained a pound of it back yesterday. The difference? I was incredibly strict and clean last week, this week, I didContinue reading “The only thing mixed effort gets you is mixed results (and a delicious blue cheese dressing)”

A Little Too Cheesy
It’s just as important to recognize the things that don’t work as the things that do. No loss on the scale this morning, which was stupidly disappointing. But in reflecting back, I definitely ate too much cheese yesterday. Having given up dairy for the last 14 months while nursing, I can only say in myContinue reading “A Little Too Cheesy”
More eggs, more results? (Keto Crepe recipe inside)
I lost 7.5 pounds last week and gained 2 going back onto strict keto this weekend, which for me is enough progress to see how many eggs I can choke down again starting this morning. I’m curious to see if my results can be repeated two weeks in a row – can I possibly loseContinue reading “More eggs, more results? (Keto Crepe recipe inside)”
Creamy Keto Custard for the win: Egg Fast Days 2-3
We went out to dinner last night and I had chicken wings. Came from a chicken, but not exactly an egg. I was a little anxious to break my otherwise very strict eggs, butter, cheese regimen but Buffalo Wild Wings still doesn’t serve breakfast. So I was even more thrilled to get on the scaleContinue reading “Creamy Keto Custard for the win: Egg Fast Days 2-3”
Weight loss too slow? Try an egg fast
I’ve lost 83 pounds doing keto over the last 4 years, which includes dieting through a pandemic and pregnancy, so it’s safe to say that I know what I’m doing as far as carb restriction, intermittent fasting and keeping the weight off go. However, there have been several times when my weight loss has slowedContinue reading “Weight loss too slow? Try an egg fast”
Keeping it real (recipe included)
Warning: Some photos may not be suitable for the weak or easily offended. Look, it’s not like some magic switch gets flipped in January and all of my resolutions come to fruition at once. We’re mid-month now, so it’s about that time to see how things are going. Let’s assess. I lost 3 of theContinue reading “Keeping it real (recipe included)”
The Results Are In: Call For Volunteer Dippers!
Last night, to celebrate the end of my chips and dips experiment, I may have gone a little overboard. We had chips and loaded pizza dip for dinner, with a side of buffalo cauliflower bites and a bucket of blue cheese. I can honestly say that I didn’t count how many chips I ate, butContinue reading “The Results Are In: Call For Volunteer Dippers!”
I’m winning right now
No drumroll necessary – I’m down 1.6 lb this morning! I’m happy with a loss of 2 or more pounds each week, so almost being down 1.8 on Wednesday while eating chips and dip is just what I needed during a week of back-to-school-back-home-from-school-because-someone-got-carsick-on-the-bus-but-no-fever-so-maybe-they-can-come-back chaos. But I digress… For last night’s 7-layer taco dip, IContinue reading “I’m winning right now”
Day 2 – No pain, no gain
That is a picture of what we ate last night – as you can see, we are both a chip-loving and mixed-up football family. And not food photographers. While I didn’t eat my 32 remaining chips, I ate enough of them, loaded with crab rangoon, to feel very full. For those of you who askedContinue reading “Day 2 – No pain, no gain”
