New Keto Lifestyle, Day 7!!

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 some mashed cauliflower in bulk. I know many people don't like cauliflower, but let me tell you,  if you season it well, having it mashed is AMAZING. I used to eat a lot of mashed potatoes and this substitute is something I am completely fine with. 

 I'm really learning to substitute many things well. I substitute my sugar for Nustevia for my coffee,  I substitute my milk for unsweetened vanilla almond milk.  (It's seriously delicious) 
So tonight, I hope everyone has a great night. We're expecting a good amount of snow tomorrow so unsure if my son will have a snow day or not. I just hope I feel a little more normal. Ps. We have so many new ingredients and spices coming this week, and we are so excited. I will definitely be sharing them with everyone! 

 Have a great night all!

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 litt

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
