Friday, January 11th.

I'm super-excited that I'm staying under 50 grams of carbs. Seriously! This is new to me but I feel fabulous and I am losing weight. Maybe it's water weight again but I...

Morning:
Coffee with coconut oil
Water

Lunch:
3 eggs over easy
3 slices turkey bacon
1/2 an avocado

You've just identified why I'm no longer vegan :p

Also, I just ran across this: Dr. Lustig Schools a Dietitian

I've ordered a copy and I want to start reading it this week. I too heard the podcast and I think what the Dr. is saying is "let's look at where all the different dietary theories can agree on...

On the bus:
Coconut oil coffee

Mid-morning:
Water
Black coffee

Lunch:

A little bit. My co-workers are a bit more diplomatic but I did get a raised eyebrow today when I ate 4 devilled eggs at lunch :-) And when I fast, if I dare say it's cold in the office, they blame...

Ok, well that didn't go as planned. Here I FINALLY am to log my food journal.

Goal: keep carbs under 50g for at least a few days

On the bus:
Coffee with coconut...

Congrats!!! Doing pullups is definitely on my 2013 goal list. Awesome job!

Oh hai!

Holidays are over and I survived :D Time to start journaling again.

Today, I will laze around on the couch with my dog, trying to absorb microscopic amounts of Vitamin D through the...

We may have been separated at birth! :p

Christmas dinner - no problem. We eat French Canadian meat pie. I've never really liked the crust so I'll likely pick at it and give the rest away to...

Ha, the rut was broken until today... Exceedingly stressful meeting at work. However, I bought a dark chocolate bar with almonds and shared it with my co-workers so not quite as bad an impact.

Days 20, 21, and 22 are a blur from being at school. Overall, I ate pretty well and weighed myself this morning to find that I'm 2 lbs down. I'll try to remember to take a body fat measurement on the...

Awesome job!

Here's my Day 19:

On the bus:
Double espresso with coconut oil

Lunch:
Big-ass salad with chicken
Herbal tea

Boo! I broke my fast early. But I did it with healthy food - a big-ass salad. Still committed to detoxing all of my recent cheats!

I know you can do this U2sandrah, and I know I need to do it too. Carb binges are a b!tch!

I think I'm going to try a fast-with-exercise tomorrow. I *just* had a lovely coconut milk steamer (it's...

I did not buy chocolate covered almonds!! But I did eat a junky lunch.

Day 18 -

On the bus:
Double espresso with coconut oil

Mid-morning:
Black coffee

Eek. It's that time of day. I will not buy chocolate-covered almonds. I will not buy chocolate-covered almonds. I will not buy chocolate-covered almonds. I will not buy chocolate-covered almonds. ...

Sleeping is actually going better these days. My biggest most pressing issue is my torrid love affair with chocolate covered almonds. I declare that I will NOT buy any today!!! Must break the habit.

Desperately looking for advice on kicking my new mid-afternoon craving for dark chocolate covered almonds. If I could eat one or two, no problem. But my old, deeply-ingrained habit around sugar is to...

I agree with you - even though I've had many little slips off of my perfect plan, my diet now is so much better than even a few weeks ago. It's all about baby steps.

Good luck with the...

Day 16 -

On the bus:
Double espresso with coconut oil

Breakfast:
Baked eggs in avocado

Mid-morning:
White tea

I can't speak directly to your question about fat burning but I can tell you that when I fast I do like to be asleep for a large chunk of it. That makes it easier not to cave and end the fast early :)

Thanks U2sandrah!

Day 15 - Today I went WAY out of my comfort zone. I had a boudoir photo shoot so I could give the photos to my DH for Christmas. Needless to say, I was so nervous that I did not...

Ooh, I've not kept up with my journal. Here are the last 2 days, to the best of my recollection!

Day 13 -

On the bus:
Double espresso with coconut oil

Breakfast:
Fritatta
Salted nuts

Actually, waiting till the weekend might be a better idea than trying to get it done during work. It means I won't have access to stairs, but I do have a treadmill that can do a wicked incline...
