Lots of time "off" in the 3 years, but Spark was something worth coming back to!

Gone to the dogs


My adult weight range is from 140 - 230. I've previously only lost weight when I was stressed! My favorite food group is "gooey", but my eating habits are not horrible. Regular meals, fruits and veg, just too many treats and not enough exercise. Wish I was as prone to sleek as my hounds!

My Goals:
I'm trying to learn to love running so I won't have to poke myself to exercise. I want to reach a healthy weight with the tools to remain there.

1/30/2013 - New driver's license photo! DONE! So much thinner than the last one.

10/31/2013 - Weight at 145, or adjust the goal to a weight I will maintain with a reasonable effort. I'm not coming back this way!

My Program:
 2013: Keto-adapted vegetarian. 60 minutes of vigorous cardio at least 4x per week.

2010 - 2013: Plant-based, low fat, very few calories in liquid form. At least 45 minutes of vigorous cardio 3x per week, some strength training.

Before 2010 - eat whatever non-meat I want, whenever I want, do no exercise, and weigh about 200 lbs.

 Oh, to be as effortlessly sleek as my greyhounds!

    Thanks Shel_V2! I just worked within the situation. I think the most important thing is bouncing back and how quickly a person bounces back. It use to be a downward spiral, guilt and avoidance, now it's acceptance and determination. Keto works 4 me!

    My son took melatonin and I will ask him if he has any left. My sleep is irregular and that may help. I forgot to thank you for the suggestion.

    I rarely eat onions and garlic. Onions are not on Dr. Westman's food list, but sometimes I will use a bit to flavor something. I don't know what sets off my IBS. My gastroenterologist said often times there is no specific food that causes it and I could try elimination of foods to see if not eating something specific helps.

    I take a bunch of medications and have a doctor that doesn't want me to go off of any of them. My husband and I are on Social Security and juggle our finances. I didn't have any foods on the list except eggs for a long while due to high bills for our vehicle maintenance and a swimming pool. I paid for going off keto with a 16 pound weight gain in three months. My doctor was livid.

    Oh, I'm all about the high fat dairy. It would be really sad if I had to give it up!
