Thoughts...

So, I have been living in another state while the family is "back home" without me. Of course, that means I have more time on my hands. More time to sit around and watch TV. So, why not try to get back on here and chat about life a little.

I have started to be "keto" not in the sense of less than 20 net carbs or anything like that. I am still pretty much primal, I just realized at one point that when I am really sticking to primal, I am probably in ketosis most of the time. So, in May 2018, I tested it, and I was right. Just 1 day of getting back to basics and I was in ketosis. So, now I spend time in keto groups, because so many of the paleo places have become a ghost town.

I even have my own group on Facebook, Utterly Lazy, Kinda Clean Keto...lol Yeah, it's silly but it works for now.

I plan to take measurements tomorrow and start a for real 30 day challenge. I haven't completed one in years, and I am way higher on my body fat percentage. I would love to get back down to about 24%. I think I'm probably close to 36% right now. A lot has happened since the last time I wrote. A lot. Talk about stress, and life just trying to knock you down. Okay, the emotions I'm feeling, I don't think I'm quite ready for that yet. So, more on the stress another day.

See ya tomorrow!

Anyone Out There

I was thinking about starting back to blogging. I have the time right now, and I need to get my health under control again. So, if there is anyone out there--let me know!

New Beginnings

Well, today was another day. I’ve almost finished my final, it has maths, I really am not a fan of math. But, I think I’m starting to understand it a little better.

We have our St. Patrick’s Day party on Saturday and we are so not ready for it. I guess it will be a mad rush to get everything done.

I did okay with my food today, the portions were good so we’ll call it a success.

I did walk for a few minutes at lunch. Tomorrow I’ll try to do a few more.

That’s all I have for right now. I want to try to get on here everyday for accountability.

I have something exciting to share tomorrow, but I won’t “let” myself tell until my homework is finished. Ha!

It's Time for a Challenge Take Two!

So, I made it less than one day on the last challenge. Not okay. Between work, school, and the kid's activities I just never got my butt in gear. This time I am doing it. One day at a time.

I'm not even going to wait for another day. Here it is.

Do something beneficial every day.

Tomorrow's plan:

Food:
dosa for breakfast with coffee
leftover stuffed peppers with a side of baby carrots for lunch
dinner-- I don't know yet.

Activity:

walk for 15-20 minutes at lunch
do 5 sets of "negative" push-ups
come up with workout plan

School: (everything is due Friday, gulp)
re-read chapters I don't understand
work on extra credit
rewrite Op-ed
work on study guide for final

Kids:

I think someone has volleyball practice. Yes, I have a planner. No, I haven't been using it as frequently as I should.

So, that is my boring update. I will can't promise the rest will be interesting either. I'm just here for the "likes"--oh, wait. I'm just here for the accountability.


What I will not do is get bogged down by not taking the right steps before starting. I don't need a before picture. I don't need a before weight. I just need a before and a goal. I just need to know where I want to be, not where I am now. I just need to improve my health and be happy with it.
