GiGy's Keto Journal

Hi there.  My name is Theresa, aka Ginger Gypsy.  (I used to be a redhead.  The name "Gray Gypsy" just doesn't have the same ring to it.)

SW 289 (presurgery). 

KSW 193.2 (keto start weight)

CW 190.4

GW 170 (That goal may change as I get closer to it.)

I am 49 and about 18 months out following bariatric surgery.  Long story, long process.....  I am down 100lbs and have about 20 left to go.  I hit a wall at the one year mark, which is typical. I have maintained within 5lbs of that weight for the last 8 months and now it is time to kick it up a notch.  

I am a carbaholic.  The surgery I had was a vertical sleeve gastrectomy, which means my stomach is small.  I can eat whatever I want, just smaller amounts of it.  I have noticed old habits returning this summer due to a busy active lifestyle and some codependent behaviors.  My hubby also had this surgery a year ago, and he has about 40lbs left to go to get to his goal.  We are very supportive of each other, but we also have the same carbaholic tendencies and if one goes off track, the other quickly follows.  

Time to nip that behavior in the butt.  I am on day 3 of my transition week and down 2.8lbs already, which is very motivating.  I plan to use this thread as a daily keto journal to chronicle this journey; the daily check in posts help to keep me accountable to myself and journaling can be therapeutic.  😁
