Keto

 So I am sure many of you, if not all of you, have heard of Keto and even lazy keto. LOL.

Well, I started keto Monday and so far I am happy. I kind of did my own way. I have cut out most carbs. I still may have a little bit of carbs with one meal, but I am really trying to cut them out. I have also cut out pop/soda, minus if it's in my alcohol drinks. I will not skimp on pop if it is needed in my drink, such as a jack and coke or jack and cherry pepsi, which is what I drink.

I have felt great since I started doing it, even with it being only a couple of days. I also started walking/light job for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on how I feel, BUT no less than 20 minutes.

I am also eating every 2 hours. No less than every 2 and a half hours.

I also have started trying not to eat after 7, but it's more like 730pm, which I am fine with since I don't go to bed until 11. I am also drinking a crapton of water and if you don't know what a crapton of water is, it is...you feel like your eyeballs are floating because all you do is drink water. lol.

So I guess I am doing somewhat of a lazy keto. But I make sure I eat something when I get up. This morning I ate 4 pieces of salami before taking my oldest to school. Came home, got the other kids and the hubby out the door, showered, ate some eggs with veggies, cheese and some sour cream topped with hot sauce.

Lunch I had the same thing, but I threw in some steak and mushrooms and it was delicious.

Overall, I am feeling great. I stepped on the scale Monday morning and my goal is to only step on the scale on Monday mornings, so I do not get discouraged if I am not losing weight day to day. My overall goal is 2 to 3 lbs a week for a couple weeks then if I go to 1 to 2 lbs a week I will be happy with that.

My biggest personal dilemma is staying positive through this and not getting discouraged, which is why I am only stepping on the scale once a week!
