Time for a B and A
I’m finally seeing some small results. It’s been 12 weeks since I first weighed in and I’ve lost 21 pounds (still not to my lowest weight after my first round of keto, but getting closer! Left: Top weight before keto, Right: a month ago. I’m back on the keto journey. I’ve been IF for a […]
Day 11 – Last night’s meal prep – Tex-Mex Goulash (no corn or black beans)
Well, 10 days down and 355 to go. I’m starting to get that feeling, though… that energetic, positive feeling that comes when the ketosis kicks in. I’ve been in and out of ketosis so many times, that I rarely get the keto flu now. Not sure why that is, but it’s a good thing. Yesterday, […]
One year of keto
Looks like I’ve been here before in this on again, off again battle. Since my last post, more than a year ago, I’ve continued to make some attempt at the keto lifestyle. However, I’d last a couple weeks (and sometimes only a couple days) before I’d lose my resolve. There were a variety of reasons, […]
Taking stock and starting over
In the beginning of 2016, I had successfully lost 59 pounds on the keto diet. Despite needing to lose at least another 50+ pounds, I was maintaining the loss doing lazy keto. I was a little more lax about my carbs, but I wasn’t gaining the weight back. That, in itself, was a huge change […]

Week 32 = 55.5 pounds gone!
I had a huge lapse in blogging. I’m not sure what was happening in my life in mid-2015, but I failed to note progress, update the blog with new recipes, or blog in general. I continued losing weight at a bit of a slower pace than in the beginning, which is no surprise. By week […]
A change in plans – no more daily blogging about keto
If there’s anything I know about myself after all these years, I know I’m obsessive. I want to stay on the keto plan. I want to eat perfectly every day, and I want to blog about my successes and failures in order to throw myself into this wholeheartedly. However, I also have a lot on […]
Day 4: A really simple 2-minute low-carb / keto pizza snack
Breakfast – egg/cheese/sausage patty in a bowl Lunch – leftover cream cheese and spicy sausage mixture in a low carb tortilla Dinner – here’s where got creative… I was pretty hungry about 4 pm, but we weren’t ready for dinner. I had some work to do for our web design company, and I wanted to […]
