Is The World on Board??

OK, maybe not the world, but I'm seeing this WOE more and more around me. (Just in case you don't know, WOE stands for Way Of Eating #ketophrasing) Costco dons keto friendly shopping lists. Amazon has keto friendly shopping lists. And now, a new little restaurant/shop has opened in my town. I can walk in, pick up a lunch from the keto section, a couple fat bombs and be on my way! 

I'm telling you...I was born to live in the 21st century!!!

This week was good, down 2.5 pounds but only 1 inch. Most people lose inches but barely move the scale, but of course, that wouldn't be me. But, I feel great! My clothes are starting to hang. I have very few headaches. My stomach is continuing to heal. I'm learning to listen to my body. My body is telling me to exercise. I said I'm listening, ok? I didn't say I was responding!! 😏

It does seem about every 6 weeks or so, my body says..."feed me a potato" or "feed me a sandwich" or "feed me some good ole fried chicken!" Sometimes I listen, sometimes I ignore it. Like if it says "feed me a Snickers..." well, I know THAT is the devil and NOT my body. But, Friday night I listened. Scott and I had a date night and split some interesting nachos. Waffle fries layered with cut up fried chicken breast, homemade pickles, a bit of cheese topped with a sour cream aioli and balsamic glaze. Oh. My Goodness. It was worth every cheat. 

Now, what does this mean for ketoing?? Well, I'm certain it knocked me out of ketosis, but, I'm hoping it did one of those body shock things. My body seems to react positively to them. Haven't done it in a while, so we shall see the results come Friday. (Checked my ketones this a.m. and they were high! Take that waffle fry nachos!!) 

And my last musing for this Monday is a shout out to my boy, Caleb. He ended his whole 30 journey yesterday. I am so proud of him for sticking with it for the entire 30 days and his reward was great! He lost 20 pounds in 30 days. (I hate men!) He will now be joining me on this keto journey and with his permission, I will muse a bit about him as well. We're cruising together in February and if he loses 50 pounds by them I'm treating him to a drink package. 😊 So stay tuned! But, in the meantime, let me know if you ever cheat and if so how does it affect your journey?

Until next week....keto on!
