Shoulder aches and Podcast adventures

So it's another late night post again because I've just been having a rough time. I gained 5lbs this week but I know it's because of my stress eating. I will lose it I just have to put into practice what I wrote about earlier. The biggest issue is that my shoulder is really killing me. Its hard to explain the pain but I struggle to sleep when it hurts and I struggle to sit in a comfortable position in my chair so sitting in front of a computer is excruciating at times. I've tried to stretch it out but to no avail. I don't know if it's a pinched nerve, a muscle issue, or even a bone issue. I'm gonna see if we can go to the doctor and get a referral to a chiropractor. I feel that going to a chiro and maybe a massage therapist will help my shoulder. It's so painful I hate dealing with this pain and I've never had any shoulder issues I don't know why or where this came from. I mean I'm sure that the stress of everything is not helping so yeah I...

Not much going on this week

So today was weigh in day and I am down to 265.5 I am 15 pounds away from my first goal I'm so excited! This week has kind of been a meh week nothing too extraordinary has happened. I don't have any words of wisdom this week I'm sorry. This is not going to be the best blog. I do appreciate all the feedback from last week's post I'm glad that you all enjoyed it so much! It kind of happened out of nowhere I started writing and it just started flowing out so naturally I had to do some research. I wanted to be able to provide other sources to help you all out as well as give my own experience. I got a request to give our lasagna boat recipe, I will make sure to do that next week I didn't have the stuff to make it this week. I like to try and provide pictures when I have a recipe for you. On another note I went to visit my folks last weekend and it was a nice time. We ended up burning some old paper work in their burn barrel, if you don't know what that is...

Stress and Emotional Eating

Good morning! I was just not feeling the writing bug yesterday so this blog is coming to you on Thursday morning. So as always yesterday was weigh in day and I was worried with my slip in food that I had gained 5 pounds but no I actually ended up losing. I'm glad I lost weight but I don't want to get into the habit of eating poorly and expecting these results because that's not how it works. I've gotten back to keto and honestly I am full and satisfied on the keto diet I just get cravings for certain foods sometimes when I'm super stressed. I stress eat my comfort foods which I have to find a way to counter that and change that behavior because its a bad habit to have. How I'm going to counter that I have no idea. I hate the idea of just “powering through” because sometimes that makes stuff worse when you try to power through and ignore the cravings. I know why I crave them too, for the record my comfort foods are things like fried chicken and potatoes. That t...

Such a late post but technically still Wednesday

Heyo this one is going out late because I have been streaming and then doing other things so I'm now sitting down to actually write a blog post. I am sick? I say it with a question mark because I am just tired and have a crappy cough that keeps me up at night. I don't know if its because of moving and all the dust, from the black mold growing in our bathroom, or an actual cold/flu. Before you say it, yes we've told the front office about the mold, no they haven't done anything about it. Yes, we are contacting the proper people about it. Anyway, I fell off the bandwagon and ate comfort foods the last two days because I've felt like shit but that's ok I am hoping back on tomorrow morning. Before I get too much further I did weigh in today and I have gained 1 pound. That could be a big poop or water or whatever. I'm not too concerned over 1 pound. Now to move on, to what's been going on aside from this persistent cough. I'm pretty sure its due to...
