Been off real keto for a while. But I don’t eat grains or pasta.

Nope, i think it’s just my metabolism now that I’m over 30. I cut out more than I didn’t. Don’t want to bore you with the full list. But yea, once I also removed booze and cut the calories it started going the right direction finally

Gotcha. Glad you found something that works for you. Hope you can find a way to at least occasionally work in bread and things that you enjoy.

Yea man, I haven’t had anything with sugar for 4 months now (not naturally occurring).
I am not like a sweet tooth, but it would be nice to partake in a birth day celebration, Rona helped tho... I’m sitting at home and in full control so ... lbs are disappearing

Meanwhile, my employees that fail to grasp being productive when someone isn't sitting over their shoulder are driving me into stress/frustration eating and I've gained 6 pounds in the last 5 weeks of being told by work to not come to the office..

What I find works well for many people in the birthday cake scenario is to “save” the calories earlier in the day for the cake later. If you know you’ll want to partake in the cake and dinner and maybe drinks, go low carb and low fat all day leading up to the event. Salads with a lean protein from turkey, chicken, or fish. It’s really easy to get full on the protein and you can do 3-4 filling meals while easily staying under 1000 calories. Then you can indulge in the stuff you wouldn’t normally eat that night/evening and it won’t hit you as hard since you’re not stacking those extra calories on top of a normal full day of eating. You’ll likely still go over your maintenance calories for the day, but as long as you aren’t there eating like an asshole it won’t be too bad.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 10:54 amYea man, I haven’t had anything with sugar for 4 months now (not naturally occurring).

That’s what I had in mind too, a day trip.D Griff wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 7:44 amI think you're good. My wife got caught at a park at the lake where she went to put her kayak in.

Link?
Tried to find same info for North Cackalacky but got different results when googling “pleasure drives”.
I am actually considering a day trip to some good roads this coming weekend or the next (depending on when the is done, The DRM guy I bought my shocks from was telling me about some a bit closer to here than the Dragon, so I might check them out.
Being on furlough is boring enough but now with everything closed down, I figured a drive should at least be alright if you keep it somewhat locally.
Wanna share them deets on roads closer than the Dragon?
He mentioned Highlands, NC. It looks like 28 and 64 through there would be really fun, plus any number of other roads, lots of squiggles out there.Swedish Chef wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 12:16 pmThat’s what I had in mind too, a day trip.D Griff wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 7:44 am

My favorite roads that are pretty dang close to Charlotte are up around Lake Lure, plenty of fun stuff there and it's only 90ish minutes away. From WInston, the Boone area is probably a better bet.

I haven't actually watched it, dunno if I will.
Just checked for my direct deposit... no dice so far.
My checking account is definitely climbing , CC bills are the lowest they've been in a long ass time due to quarantine. I did get commission for March due to the start of the month so the pay hit won't really start impacting intake until min-late April.

It's stupid, I would skip it.
