<p>Here is my last official batch of shakes made with butter as the fat source.  I let them rest for a minute to release some warmth before adding the lids.  In truth though, the water I used was barely warm.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-28817 aligncenter" src="https://info.ketochow.xyz/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/IMG_1956s-1024x546.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="546" /><br />
These buttery shakes are <em>delicious</em>!  I am a sweets fiend so I made (left to right) Cookies and Cream, Snickerdoodle, and Salted Caramel this time around.  Although I said this is the last official batch of shakes made with butter, I do plan to continue using butter as my preferred fat source in my shakes <em>unless </em>there is a reason to stop based upon the blood lab test results.</p>
<p>Along with eating meat, I am also looking forward to returning to lazy keto.  No more continuous tracking of consumption.  No more daily morning weigh-ins.  No more daily afternoon ketone tests.  No more Friday morning trips to LabCorp.  (The next set of results are due in this afternoon so those should be posted on <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s04vZU7XzmHtIzkx3U8LV-iLlNYuiMVeIzAYWhX8tlE/edit#gid=1036672788">Chris&#8217; spreadsheet</a> very soon.)  And <em>probably</em> no more consuming the majority of calories between 4:00 and 8:00 pm. (still debating this as it helps to avoid snacks but my blood sugar gets a little too low in the afternoon).  I <em>will</em> continue drinking Keto Chow shakes every day.  I <em>will</em> continue attending yoga classes.  I <em>intend</em> to continue prohibiting snacks but know I am weak in this area.</p>
<p>This weekend, I will be re-stocking our refrigerator and freezer because I essentially emptied both completely before this challenge began.  Along with anticipation of having groceries in the house again, my husband is looking forward to us eating out together again.</p>
<p>This past Monday, I had a quick visit at my doctor&#8217;s office for a prescription follow-up.  When the doctor entered the room, he said, &#8220;Have you lost more weight?&#8221;  My response was that I didn&#8217;t think so, maybe a couple of pounds.  The nurse piped up and said, &#8220;Yes, she&#8217;s lost 13 pounds since her last visit in December.&#8221;  Well, <em>cool</em>!  I was not thinking about the 100 day challenge and recent weight loss nor was I considering when I had last been in their office.  They were exactly right though.  I <em>have</em> lost 13 pounds since December!  That number matches mine exactly.</p>

Interestingly, my weight seems to have settled at 122 without any intent or effort.  I first reached that weight on February 22 which was Day 52 of the challenge.  Now 47 days later on Day 99, I still weigh 122.  Based on this fact (nearly 7 weeks at the same weight), I might venture to say that 1200 calories is maintenance for me.  Or perhaps this is a &#8220;stall&#8221; and I would lose even more if I continued this journey for longer.  As I transition back to lazy keto and eating animal products again, I will see what happens.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-28827 alignright" src="https://info.ketochow.xyz/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/W14-Ketones.jpg" alt="" width="404" height="288" /></p>
