Day 14 of Keto Life and Still Survivng!

It's been 14 days since I've started a new healthier lifestyle that I feel works for me. Some ups and downs, wanting this, wanting that, but it's okay because the important part is, I sucked it up and got over it. My daily goal is to stay below 20 net carbs which I been doing great with. 

 One of the things I wanted to talk about was a delicious way I was able to eat "nachos". Who needs nacho chips  when you have pork grinds? 

That's right, Pork Grinds! A healthier substitution if you're looking for a new way to have some nachos without the carbs. 

 I haven't weighed myself in a bit, which I won't for at least another week. I don't want to have a scale or tape measure to drive me nuts!  

 I have noticed that I wake up before my alarm clock, just about every morning, I don't feel blah when I do wake up which is nice. I feel like I can get out of bed, and be up to ready to go! 
Anyways, I better go for now, I have to help my little man with some Valentines Day cards for tomorrow. Have a good one!

The Start of a New Beginning

Greetings to the outside world! So I created this blog to share with everyone the progress, the journey and also maybe some venting in between. I feel like maybe it will help me stay motivated and help with some inspiration and honestly, why not?  So here is a quick scoop. I started this keto lifestyle change (I'm not calling it a diet) on January 31st 2018.  The great thing is I didn't start alone. My other half and I are in this together.  Before starting this, I am weighing around 265lbs (give or take).  I'll be weighing myself in a couple more days.  I would be lying if I said it's been super easy, but honestly it hasn't been all that bad. Sweet cravings do pass , and eating healthier does help!    Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Prep  Some of you may not know what a "keto diet" is , so I'll explain it in simpler terms.    It is a low carb , moderate protein and high fat diet. See, when you eat a lot of carbs, your body starts turning that

New Keto Lifestyle, Day 7!!

Image
Well today is my 7th day on this keto lifestyle. It hasn't been extremely hard, but not extremely easy, but I do feel my mindset is in the right place.  I'm starting to really feel the effects of my body changing (in ketosis). Some of these effects are a bit fatigued, and a sweet taste in my mouth. It's been a little bit of a blah day for me today, but I know it will get better.  Don't shame me for playing with my cheese and my son's dog toy! (He's absolutely adorable) Tonight, I'm probably going to have a blt salad, which I mainly cook the bacon, and put it into a bowl of lettuce with some cheese. I have a low carb mayo until I start making my own which i'm super excited to do. (We were suppose to make it before, but bought the wrong oil haha)  On a good note, I have finally increased my water intake which is a big thing for me! (and really it's great for everyone)   I'm hoping tomorrow i'll feel more like myself, so I can make s
