OHHH so frustrating. I have strayed from my diet. Yes, jumped off the wagon and into a Dunkin Donuts Mocha Frapp Iced and LARGE. So much caffeine and sugar. Why? I was hot, thirsty and hungry. It was around 1:30pm and I had just got off the pickleball court, and the facility had no air conditioning that I could tell. So hot!

I even got off and said to the scale, “Okay, I’ll give you another chance.” Same number.
Planning is everything. So, I ran to the grocery store with Keto Diet on the mind. That has been the most successful so far. I lost weight rapidly in the first 2 months but then I stalled.

I was led to believe that all you had to do was eat high protein and low carbs. Nope. Works for a while but then you hit the wall. That’s where I am. Hello wall.
At the store today I bought the following: (If you don’t prepare, prepare to fail)
