As of Monday I was .7 lbs away from my second goal. I'm going to make it. And I will celebrate with cake and ice cream. Keto, of course, but I will celebrate the victories as they come.

I am so glad I found the Keto diet. What is keto? Keto is a high fat, low carb way of life where one transforms from a sugar burner to a fat burner. Though I use the word "diet" to describe it, it really has become a way of life. I don't miss the carbs. Well, mostly. I do miss a nice warm yeast rolls, but those occasions are few and far between and really, there's no reason why I couldn't have one occasionally. 

I don't adhere to a strict keto diet, but tend to follow the advice of Leanne Vogel who helps people, especially women find the keto balance that right for our individual selves. If you're thinking of going keto, I highly recommend checking out her website and listening to her podcast. 

Being on the keto diet for nearly two months I have noticed an increase in my energy and cognitive abilities, which has been extremely helpful as Peanut gears up to graduate from high school.  More on that in the next post.
