Week one update!
So turns out my body loves no booze and keto. Although I did purchase those test strips to see if I'm in ketosis and I'm not. I may have just been doing a more Paleo approach, probably too much protein. I didn't really research the Keto diet, I just did a late breakfast of hard boiled eggs (3) and an avocado at 9-10ish and then lunch was either eggs or tri tip and cauliflower rice that I made using a whole can of coconut milk and eggs and spices with mushrooms and olives. I figured that the avocado and coconut milk were enough fat but maybe not. Costco sells theses amazing seaweed snacks that I've been munching on as well. And that's my week of food. No more night eating or boozing and lots of really good sleep and sometimes tea before bed. I'm just under 200lbs at 198.6. That's a decent loss of 6lbs but also I'm sure the de-bloating factor is the majority. This week will be the true telling. Also. I took before pics. So these are from friday the 9th, I never thought I would have back rolls but here we are.
My folks are coming to visit today and are staying for lunch and dinner so I went out after work last night to get groceries and some wine for mom and chips and dessert for dad...and promptly went home and poured a glass of wine and had some chips and almond rocca dessert in front of amazon prime. Slept poorly, woke up with a puffy face, shocking. I feel like I was small last night, like I was a drone or just a mindless zombie. And this morning I had no desire to go check out my new crossfit gym. I think my body can do minimal booze and zero junk food and be ok. But in the meantime I think I'm just going to stick to no booze and no junk, I have too much growing I want to do and they both make me less that I could be. Watching TV is a huge trigger. Sitting in bed reading self help books is not. Guess what my exciting bedtime routing is going to be this week.
