Here are
1. Proof of weight maintenance (at the top or just over my desired range and 3-5 pounds over my best range).

| 3 months weight maintenance June-Aug 2018 |
2. When the Holy Fire hit So. Cal. we all got reverse 911 phone calls and exited the building.
A spider decided to exit one side of my pants leg by biting me 5 times in a row. This resulted a 2-3 pound weight gain for 4-5 days. Ughhhhhh. Itchy.
I'm a normal blood donation (paid, IRB approved) for Histamine Release, so hey, I'm NOT taking any anti-histamines. That test is my cash cow, so I'm not going to mess it up. My weight is finally returning to <120, which is indeed my "scream weight".
I'm sparing you gross spider bite photos. You are welcome. LOL.

I''ll be doing a separate blog post on Low Carb USA 2018. Soon!!! As long as the fires stay away.
4. Podcasts
I have been a guest on 3 podcasts lately. Links coming soon!
Back to life, food sober living, and long term weight maintenance.
5. Home work for a future blog post. Keto Woman Podcast episode #41 Georgia Ede
Terrific Weight Maintenance topics:
Link to the podcast http://ketowomanpodcast.com/georgia-ede/
I took 2 pages of notes around this podcast. I'll blog about it soon.
What's working for me
1. Daily weighing, even though I want to be a lower weight
2. Staying safe and well during fire season
3. Dealing with a life transition as my kid goes to college, building my social life
4. Hanging with my tribe at Low Carb USA 2018, building the tribe.
5. Continuing weight maintenance education through podcasts
What didn't work for me in the past
1. Staying off the scale and lying to myself about my morbid obesity
2. Binge eating during fire season to soothe myself
3. Binge eating during life transitions to soothe myself
4. Hanging with the "all foods in moderation tribes" so I could binge eat and justify it.
5. Learning one thing (points counting" and not expanding my learning as I aged.
Onward and safe travels to all.
Glad all is well. Good to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vickie!!! I'm glad to be back blogging. I plan to blog more often this fall. I'm on Instagram much more often, which is easier and faster.
DeleteThanks for sharing! I agree with Vickie that I'm glad all is well and you're safe from the fires. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Georgia Eade's interview. I listened to it last week or when it came out. And now, as you know, I'm a member of your low carb tribe so please keep posting. You really are one of the few people who I believe has this figured out with your long term maintenance. I'm seeing more and more people who are less than a year into maintenance who think they have this down. And in my opinion, they do not yet. It takes time.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see this post from you.
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Stay well
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan!!! Low Carb San Diego was all kinds of wonderful. Giving my best to you and Eddie. Who knows, maybe I'll travel further for Low Carb events in the next few years.
