Kaplooie: New and Improved in 2016

I started a new thread ya'll!!! Need a fresh start for 2016.

2015 ended great. I went to the gym!! It's closed today or I'd go again to get a good New Years start on my New and Improved 2016 plan!

So, for those that do not know me and just happen upon this new and improved diary, I am Kaplooie, 36 year old fat lady trying to be not fat.

This year I have decided to dedicate myself to a ketogenic lifestyle and very low calorie until I reach my goal weight (which is 150 for 2016, UGW of <130 to be in a healthy BMI range). This morning (after some serious partying last night with two birthday peeps plus new years) I weighed in at 221.8. That's up from my pre-Christmas low of 216. Also, I have set a goal of working out at the gym at least 4 times a week. I'm going to weigh daily and track my weight in a spreadsheet (I actually started doing this in November) so I can see a 5-7 day average that goes down instead of a line on a graph on MFP that goes all over the flippin place. I also need to track all my food and exercise every single day on MFP. Even the shitty binge days. Even if its like, 10,000 calories! <--- I don't think I've ever managed that but I have the potential.

So to sum up those goals in a nice neat bullet pointed list:
  • Ketogenic
  • very low calorie
  • Gym 4 times a week
  • Daily weigh in
  • Track everything on MFP 100%
  • 2016 goal weight 150

I have other goals too, like find a new job (I'm liking the one I have less and less), find a new boyfriend. Seriously I've been "single" for longer then ever before. Quit drinking. That's a big one because it really does screw with my calories and weight and is just generally something I'd like to say goodbye to except for the occasional glass of social wine. And last but not least, put some damn makeup on my face every single day, it makes me feel good about myself.

SOOOOO, with all that being said *written* Welcome to the 2016 Kaplooie shit show!! Let the games begin!!

Hi Kaplooie, I wish you allll the best with your goals and everything else! New year, new diary, clean slate.
 
Hey, we're very similar currently. You're about eight pounds lighter than me and I've been doing the keto diet for a bit now. I definitely think you'll like it. Curious as to what your macros look like or if you'll be more on the "lazy" side of the spectrum. I find it to be the best lifestyle choice for me because really I get to enjoy the same things as others without feeling guilty. It's great. I know you'll quite enjoy it! 150 pounds is the goal and I know you're going to achieve it this year!

My Macros will look like 75f/20p/5c and I probably won't be too lazy about it since I'm also counting calories closely. I'll have to really make sure to get my nutrition on fleek. And lol! I love your avitar!!!
 
So Saturday was kind of a bust as far as watching calories. I picked up my best friend at the airport yesterday morning and after running errands with him most of the day we stopped at the pub for some drinks. I had red wine. Then I went to another friends for a clothing exchange, got some cute stuff and work out gear. Drank wine, lol! I need to just stop that. All together. I did behave myself though and I'm proud of it. I feel a bit laggy this morning but that is just because after the clothing exchange we went out to the bars, I had one glass of red while we were out but I didn't finish it. I left it on the table at the first bar and then at the second bar I just drank water. I went home around midnight, changed clothes then went to my friends house where my son was babysitting and stayed there till she got home around 3.

Then for some damn reason I woke up at 830 and could NOT go back to sleep. So...ya...laggy. And I'm going to the gym today so that's going to mean I'll end up with a low energy work out. Maybe I'll just walk on the treadmill for an hour or so and then do some abs and back in the weight room.

Food plan for today is:
B: coffee...always coffee
L: veggie soup with added cheese and chicken
D: Pan fried salmon and veggies

I'll update my macros and calorie totals later.
 
Good luck :)

"Daily weigh in" absolutely approve that, I did the same when I lost 100 lbs. It really keep you to your schedule.
 
Well done on the self-restraint with wine KP. 2016 is going to be a really good year & we are going to kick some derriere! :D
 
Thank you visitors! Glad to see so many members visiting me.

218.8 this morning. It's only taken me two weeks to get back to my pre-Christmas binge fest weight. BOOOO!!! I hate the holidays!! Lol!

I'm getting ready to go to the gym, hopefully. Mid day gym trips are hard to accomplish. I'm waiting on some new tenants that are supposed to check in with me and move in today and I just know the minute I leave for the gym they will be calling for keys. Grrr....and I only slept for 4 hours last night so I don't know why I'm even considering the gym today. I should be considering a nap.

Didn't eat anything all day yesterday until 5pm when I got home from work. Then I had about 1000 calories of food and 1000 calories of wine (lol...okay maybe 400...) Remember that quit drinking goal of mine...ya thats going well...

Today I think I'll be a little more sparing on my food schedule and not starve all day. I was seriously HANGRY by 4pm and flew off the fricken handle at a guy on the phone that was giving me grief. Had to eat crow and apologize. So today I'll have some lunch and spare the world my wrath.
 
KP I was thinking only two weeks to lose your Christmas binge fest weight- that's ok, when I realisedyou didn't think so! YAY! You're back :D I didn't make a NY resolution to stop drinking wine, but have imposed strict limits & that seems to be working for me. Hope you have a good day today honey, xoxo Cate
 
Lol, I have had a pretty good day Cate. Didn't eat all day again, ooops, but making up for it tonight. I didn't get hangry this afternoon though, I've reached a level of ketosis that pretty much makes me feel like I'm not hungry at all. I worked out, and was going to eat right after my workout but then my sister ran interference on that. So right now I'm waiting for some veggie soup to warm up, drinking the LAST GLASS OF WINE in my house *notbuyinganymore* #cheapdrunk and watching all the pristine snow that fell last night melt into a puddle of el nino sadness. We have a big southern storm coming up and I got a text a bit ago from our public safety department advising of a high wind warning with gusts to 85mph. The kiddo is across the street playing video games at the neighbors house and I hope he doesn't fly away when he comes home, hahaha!!

Also, I'm going to bed early. Very soon. I'm so tired!!
