Big Seats and Flat Feet

Averaging two pounds a week, I've lost over 20 lbs. since the beginning of 2018.  The first few weeks weren't easy, or so I thought. When I first began, I just wanted to get through the first week.  After I had made it through the first week, then I focused on the next, then the next, and so forth.  Now I'm three months in and I've lost the weight.  Finding good foods was difficult at first, but once I came across my affiliate site, The Keto Box, things began to get much easier.  Having the types of foods I enjoyed with low carb/high protein was a big help.  We all have our moments of wanting to cheat or snack, and mine usually came at the most stressful moments.  Since I found The Keto Box, I no longer have to worry about stress eating because it provides me with the foods I crave and are Keto friendly (safe). The Keto Box provides you with 7-10 low carb/Keto Friendly snacks a month and also has free shipping.  The Keto Box is a good way to h...

I started my journey into KETO about two and a half months ago.  So far I have lost over 20 lbs. of pure fat.  What's so good about that is, although fat weight loss is measurable when it comes to clothes and size.  Fat weighs less than muscle.  If I were gaining muscle while losing fat, the weight loss wouldn't be an as significant pound per pound... but the change in size would. What am I doing?  I'm using a product called Ketologie and I'm maintaining a very strict keto way of living.  I don't follow a plan, I just plan to eat meat, green veggies, and real foods.  No tricks or anything.  I also use supplements such as Ketologie (especially collagen) to help with maintaining healthy skin and hair while losing. As you can see, in my face... there is a significant change in my appearance.  I have taken before body shots.  However, I am not yet ready to post those.  When I do, my weight loss will be very apparent.

I've been doing KETO for almost two months now.  I have lost a cummulative amount of 15 pounds.  Next week I will incorporate running and exercise!  Hoping to see some significant benefits from both the KETO and the exercise so I can post pictures. This is my journey...  wonder where it will take me?????

In an earlier post I said I'd tell you all about it later, so here I am explaining what my "F8" means.  F8 is symbolic.  And here's a list of ALL the things my F8 symbolizes. F8 = On your computer you will find the F8 key.  If you are familiar with a computer, you know the F8 key helps you access the Windows recovery system, as well as takes you to the Windows startup menu. In my journey, F8 is symbolic of many things.  Number one, I'm on my way to 'recovery' and I am 'starting up' now. F represents the word F IVE.  I chose "F" to symbolize the five stages one goes through to make lasting changes in their life. The stages of change are: Precontemplation (Not yet acknowledging that there is a problem behavior that needs to be changed)   Contemplation (Acknowledging that there is a problem but not yet ready or sure of wanting to make a change)   Preparation/Determination (Getting ready to change)  Action/Willpower (Changi...

Best idea for comfort food... Venison Vegetable Soup Today is one of those days I wish I could crawl into bed and hide.  My heart is aching from being hurt by a dear friend, it's cold and dreary outside, and I have been up since 4:30 this morning.  Hoping to find relaxation in cooking a hot pot of Venison Vegetable Soup, and that eating it will be good for my soul. For starters, this has been a good hunting season for my husband and son.  They brought in 5 deer, one each weekend, since the first day of deer season.  I was elated!  Anticipating the meat, I decided on what cuts I needed and have been cooking with it ever since.  Ground venison is my favorite because it can be used in various dishes. This Venison Vegetable Soup is so easy and inexpensive to make.  I normally buy the mixed soup vegetables frozen.  Because I was unprepared for grocery shopping today, and it was a last minute decision, I knew I wouldn't find frozen soup vegetab...

Baggage, luggage, or suitcases are those things you carry around with you that really have no added value to your life.  Sure, you needed those things, once upon a time.  But in reality, if you dropped the load you could go on without it. My problem is I have a LOT of baggage.  Sometimes I think I have set it aside, dropped it off somewhere down the road, lost or forgot it.  Then, it shows it's weary head, and usually at the most unsuspected times, in the most peculiar places. So... let's recap.  In my last post, Health and Happy, my complaint was my weight.  It has always been an issue.  It may not have begun as "my" issue, but it was an issue for someone.  Looking back at all the baggage I recall the things that were said to me as a child, and young adult.  Things like, "You could sit and ride on that booty it's so big!", "Lard Ass", "You're getting fat!", "Look at that gut!".  These aren't entirely horrible th...

My weight has been a formidable opponent of mine for many, many years.  To be exact, it has been the bane of my existence, my worst nightmare, my most hated adversary. Here of late, I haven't been feeling all that well.  It might be partially due to stress, a never-ending to-do list, and supercharged family dynamic.  The bottom line would be, however, I'm not taking care of myself, my needs.  I don't regularly decompress after working in a busy, self-giving profession.  In other words, I give, give and give throughout the day without taking... yes, without taking any time or doing anything for me.  There are many days I don't even sit down but for a few minutes, or take a break... ok, ok... I may take a quick potty break here and there, and only because I undoubtedly, necessarily have to.  YES... I often wait until it's an emergency and I have to go. So... hmmmm.... where was I going with this... STRESS, yes stress!  I'm exhausted....
