Last year I entered the world of keto.... It worked well, I lost a good amount of weight.... then early this year I feel off the wagon. And to my shock (sarcasm) all the weight came back. You have seen me write before about my weight and how it bothers me. And I have never considered myself to be a fat girl... but I know I am. Ever see the meme .... "I am so fat.. no you are so pretty.... I never said I wasn't pretty..." That is me in a nutshell!
A few weeks ago I made the decision to get my health in order. It really isn't even about losing weight anymore. It is about being healthier for myself and for my boys. I found myself exhausted at the end of my office job day.... my legs were swelling, I am out of breath doing the simplest of things. Now don't get me wrong, I still keep going. I don't stop because I feel uncomfortable, but I am tired of being uncomfortable.
Last week I began that journey. It is starting with a liver detox... OMG no booze!! SEND HELP! lol Surprisingly the no coffee part is what is killing me. But so far so good. Prepping, weighing, eating organic, fresh foods. My sister, who has been certified as a health coach is helping me along the way, which is great for accountability and encouragement.
Today was my official one week on detox. I have lost 8.6 pounds and feel significantly better already. OK I am done... LOL Just kidding! I am trying to train my mind to make better choices, and not only that, but begin to enjoy those choices. I have tricked myself into drinking more water by using a Venti Starbucks cup... 20oz at a time. Somehow with that cup and a straw I drink more. How my demented mind works I guess.
So that is it in my fun exciting world for now. Have a great week!
