Hey Keto Faithful!
I am so excited to embark on this new adventure in my Keto journey. I am so glad that you are coming along for the ride! I have been doing some Facebook Live videos of my cooking and honest posts about what the journey has been for me. I am so happy to share this with my friends and family.
So, here's a little background. In March of 2018, I went to my PCP and she told me that I was the heaviest I had ever been...a whopping 285! She told me that if I didn't lose weight, I would be at risk for diabetes and other health issues. As someone who already had heart issues and high blood pressure, I knew this was serious. Besides, I have a daughter who needs her mom. So, I had a friend who was a fitness guru and she jumpstarted my weight loss and exercise journey.
By January 2019, I had lost 20 lbs. It was slow, but I was proud of myself. Then, my bestie told me about the Ketogenic diet. I was skeptical at first, but did the research and saw the results of other people just like me. I was ALL IN! I changed the way I shopped, the way I cooked, the way I ate. Inches started coming off first. My clothes didn't fit, I had more energy, and I was happier with my body.
By March 2019, I was 235 lbs. I had lost 50 lbs in a year!!! And I was keeping it off. Fast forward to October 2019 and I have gained 5 lbs. I am back up to 240lbs and so I am resetting the mission. Revising my goal and my purpose.
My first goal is 40 lbs gone by December 31, 2019. That started with my usual plan of attack:
Step 1: Friday is meal planning (pouring through my cookbooks and recipe journal to find meals for the week)
Step 2: Saturday is for shopping and pulling out ingredients
Step 3: Sunday is for cooking and jamming out to music!!
The recipes I have come from published cookbooks or Pinterest websites I have pinned. I am not creative enough to create my own just yet. But, if you can follow a recipe, you can do Keto.
So, here we go. Are you ready? The menu is set and I am ready to rock this 40 lbs out of existence!
Buckle up, Keto Faithful... It's time to Keto On!!!
