I realize now that I preceded my last weigh in with a 20+ hour fast. Only one day of following the Ketosis diet and I already feel the "Keto Flu" symptoms, and I see Ketones in my testing strips. I didn't expect to see Ketones until Saturday or Sunday, so I believe I've jump started my transition a bit with that fast.

Today I am going to have a couple of meals I have not had in a while or before. I will make a taco salad, which is an easy go to meal as I can have the meat prepared in advance. I also will have a form of egg salad, which will have egg, mayonnaise, tuna, and relish; I had something similar when I was a child, and I thought it was good, so I'll give it a try with some modifications to make it more macro friendly!

These little Jello packs are great, but I wonder if they are actually carb free. They only show 5 calories and they show 1 gram of protein, but I am suspicious as I don't recognize any artificial sweetener taste.For now I am using them as a sort of dessert.

I over exerted myself and hurt my knee. I've taken a break from the running to allow it to heal. It is starting to feel better, but I will give it one more day to be safe and restart again with just walking. It is my own fault for trying to be competitive.

I've had to perform an emergency move as the sewage lines busted under my apartment, and it has been a hectic time trying to get everything straightened out. The good news is the doctors say that the pain I have is not significant, although I do have scoliosis, there are no abnormalities or issues that would warrant surgery. Just need to get the weight down and get my physical therapy in.

I've finally rid the place of all of the random junk food and the like, I had stocked up on a large number of frozen meals as I knew I would just not be able to cook, and have been preparing to start back up on the Ketosis diet at least to get myself back down into the 240s so I can fit in my clothes better again.

I can see how I got so big before. Eating things like frozen pizza, ice cream, going out to pick up food from Taco Bell and the like... the food is very dense in calories and I find myself hungry soon after a meal unless I gorge myself.

I've made a few attempts in the past to get back on track and never really stuck, always making up some kind of excuse for my poor eating habits, but I know that I will not be in a good place if I keep letting this happen.

I purchased a grill to give me the option to grill meats and veggies, to add a little variety to my diet, and I'll use my off days to prepare meals for the rest of the week. A balance issue I've had in the past is not having food prepared for when I start to get hungry, and then over eating as by the time the food is ready I'm very hungry. I just need to break up the meals so that I don't end up famished and gorging myself at the earliest possible point.

The goal is to lose 2 pounds a week and reach 250 pounds by September 1st. I know that is technically a rate of more than 2 pounds a week, but I'm figuring I will lose at least 5 pounds of water weight during that time so I wanted to account for that.

On a side note, I am trying to find additional recipes for the Ketosis diet. I am struggling finding recipes that actually meet the 5/20/75 ratio I am going for. There is a little wiggle room, but I do not want to drop below 70% fat or exceed 5% carbs as I do not want to risk breaking Ketosis. As long as I maintain it properly I feel great and have a reduced appetite, but if I accidentally eat too many carbs I tend to not feel very well and end up very hungry. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Well my running buddies and I had decided to just walk today because we were all sore. I met up at our usual time and place, but it turned out they were going to be late. Instead of waiting around I started walking and eventually started running myself. I had run more than we had run each day before they even got there. We proceeded to walk like we had planned. I felt a little bad going running when we were supposed to walk, but I didn't want to waste the opportunity of running in a cool temperature.

I'll probably regret it tomorrow because they're going to have more energy to run than I will, but it is okay its not a race. I just want to progress.

I'm afraid to weigh myself as I have been very bad, but I am on day three of running with a group of friends. First two days sucked! We modified so we actually run more now, but for not quite as long, and that made a big difference today.

Instead of walking 1-2 laps and running a lap, in which we only end up running 2 laps, we walk half a lap, run half a lap. The more laps we do the worse it feels but at least we are getting some running in without feeling like passing out.

He had some silly app that told us when to and not to run. It wasn't working out, so we opted to change to a more structured approach. Hopefully we can pick it up over time! :D
