The terms “weight loss” and “fat loss” are often used interchangeably, but they’re not the same thing. So often, we refer to our journey as a “weight loss” journey, which can cause a mindset that is hyperfixated on the movement of numbers on a scale. Most of the time, when we talk about wanting to […]
I’m not gonna lie, December has been full of high carb, high sugar foods. I haven’t maintained ketovore at all and haven’t been able to maintain my alternate day Intermittent Fasting that was so successful in November. This month, I gained nearly 15lbs. It was the holidays and so I’m not beating myself up over […]
I’ve decided to challenge myself for the month of November by doing 22-24 hour Alternate Day Intermittent Fasting. At the moment, my goal is to follow my normal Ketovore way of eating every other day (from lunch to lunch). Then, ever other day to start my fast following lunch and go through til lunch the […]
Intermittent fasting (IF) is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating and is currently one of the world’s most popular health and fitness trends. It doesn’t specify which foods you should eat but rather WHEN you should eat them. Most importantly, Intermittent Fasting isn’t just a weight loss strategy. When used […]
The holidays can be nearly overwhelming in the amounts of high carbohydrate, high sugar foods everywhere we look. This time of year, it is not only encouraged, but EXPECTED that we gorge ourselves on candies, pies, breads, and everything else that anyone following any type of low carb diet (from Atkins to ketogenic to ketovore) […]
As you may know, I dedicate at least part of every Sunday to self-care. This comes from extended periods of time, especially on the last two years, when taking care of myself didn’t even rank high enough to be anywhere on my list of priorities. I neglected myself, both physically and mentally, and I suffered […]
There are days, on everyone’s journey, when you just aren’t feeling it. Today, I felt bloated. My rings and watch felt tight against my skin. My stomach felt larger than it should. I just felt blah, physically. So, in an effort to ensure that I didn’t end up feeling blah mentally, I made a conscious […]
Came across this gem today and LOL’d. We live in a world of instant gratification and, especially when it comes to myself, I can often have zero patience. I want to achieve all my goals as quickly; whether it is mastering a new skill, losing weight, or whatever. I want it now! Sometimes it is […]
The tradition continues. Sundays are for self-care. Today, that meant Sleeping in Cuddling with my Sebastian kitty Reading most the day Taking a long, hot bubble bath Giving myself a hydrating facial Using the Mary Kay Eye Masks that my sister gifted to me I tried to keep the minor guilt at all the things […]
I have now walked 1,027 miles since I started this challenge mid January (I don’t remember the exact start date, but it was sometime around the 20th). That is over 1,000 miles in just under 10 months. Not the fastest trip, but I’m proud of my progress! Latest milestone hit:
