This is MY Keto Journey

I feel great but I am not in ketosis today. Normally if eat out I plan what I am going to order.....today I did not. I had one of those stupidly realistic dreams. My phone alarm went off in my dream and I turned it off and got up. I got up and started to get ready for work. I laid my clothes out, brushed my teeth, straightened my hair ect. I walk into the living room to get my son's clothes for school ready and thought "My why is it so dark in here?". I check my watch and it is 1:52am!! By the time I realized what time it was, it was just too late and I was already awake. I burned time soaking in the tub and did an energizing sugar scrub. I gave myself a gel manicure. By the time my nails were done, I woke Logan up to get dressed at 6am and took him to McDonald's to get breakfast and apparently EVERYTHING AT MCDONALDS HAS A CRAP LOAD OF SUGAR!!! Why does Equal have a gram of carbs in each packet? Why does McDonalds not have sweet 'n' low which has 0 carbs

I tested when I woke up this morning (9ish) and I was still at a .02 (just barely in ketosis) I just tested again at 4pm and now I'm testing at .09 and I ran it 3 times. Yay!!!

I had to end my water fast a little sooner than anticipated. I started getting light headed when I would stand up. However, I transitioned into Ketosis yesterday. Just barely but hey I am there! I even tested 3 times and this morning just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Everyone has their own way of telling that they are in Ketosis. I am having issues sleeping. Today (thanks to Aunt Flo) had me craving something sweet like no tomorrow. I combined cream cheese, kerry gold butter and coconut oil in the microwave and it gave me a fat bomb with the sweet kick.

Today is the day! I dreadfully stepped on the scale this morning....don't mind my toes....I like sleep more so than fingernail polish :).

I ate 2 Wisconsin beef sticks and an ounce of cheese. I was a little cranky but nothing too bad. Here is my "before" picture. I will take new pictures and measurements every Monday.

I recently read an article about 10 mistakes beginners make when starting Keto ( http://www.bodyinbeta.com/top-10-common-keto-diet-mistakes/ ). One of which is not having a good enough reason why. There is a lot of merit to that. If someone asks you why you are doing something, because just doesn't seem to cut it. I have a serious issue with seafood. Crab, shrimp, fish, scallops...if it swims and can't survive out of the water....I don't eat it. It is a mental thing like when your parents give you venison, you eat it and then they tell you what it is. Because just doesn't cut it sometimes. So what are my reasons why I want to switch 100% to Keto and no "cheat days"? Here are my top 5: 1. I am an avid over thinker and I can't reign my brain in. I try my brain rebels and just keeps digging. My first thought is that we have made leaps and bounds in the medical field. While some of the innovation was not made in the most ethical of ways (Holocaust), we

I had a sudden ephiany last night when I got home from work. I stood in my kitchen and just thought what am I going to do? How am I supposed change my mindset when I am around boxes and boxes and boxes of processed crap that is tormenting me mental and worst of all physically? Then I thought well I could meal prep for me and my son at the same time. Then the important question popped in.....if I don't want to put this in my body why do I want him to eat it? So box it up and donate it was the answer.....
