Elliptical and Interviews

Leave a comment

Let’s start with the elliptical. My sister is awesome and gave us her E
elliptical after she decided to buy a treadmill. Woohoo! I’ve been struggling with my keto diet after going strong for two weeks and not loosing a single pound. Why would I continue torturing myself.
So exercise it is.

Onto the job interviews! I finally got two calls back after putting in what felt like one-hundred applications. One for a barista position and the other for bartender. The bartending interview went really well.

Wish me luck!

There Goes My Diet..

..Right out the window!

I went over to my cousins house last night to hang out and help stain their gazebo. Then we had some cocktails, but no biggie! I was drinking Jameson straight and chasing it with water. I figured I was good!

And then I woke up this morning completely dehydrated..
And then my cousin made breakfast..

Two biscuits and 1/2 cup country gravy later and I’m at 56 carbs for the day instead of under 20.

Fuck.

Ketosis and Weight Loss

Leave a comment

I’m looking to put my body into ketosis (known in the future as ‘keto’) and give up carbs and lose some weight while I do it.

Day 1: Fuck yeah Keto! I can do this no problem.

There were problems. Go figure. First of all my diet is very carb heavy. I can’t help it, it’s the way I was raised so my meal planning has a lot of bread and potatoes involved. Secondly, anyone I spoke to about it immediately jumped to, “It can kill you!” “It will ruin your kidney’s!” “You brain needs carbs!”

I immediately freak out about the kidney issue. I’ve had kidney issues before but generally due to severe dehydration which effects everyone’s  kidneys.

I do homework. Decide not to remove carbs, just considerably lower my carb intake. 50g a day. See how it goes. Adjust as needed.

Back on the keto wagon. I’m excited. I don’t have much to lose, but once it’s gone I will feel 100 times better about my appearance.

That is damn important.
