Well, today is Day 1. I’ve tried to eat keto for years now. There were great results right before my surgery, but afterward not so much. Now I’m to the point where I’m burned out. Sure, keto can produce results, but I have a problem eliminating entire food groups, especially fruits. It just feels like …
We’ve been experimenting with different keto dough recipes, trying to find one we really like. This was a variation on the fathead dough, using melted cheeses and almond flour. I tried the recipe here, but made a couple changes to it. I kept the Parmesan cheese but used mozzarella instead of pepper jack. I also …
I took a small break from dieting after my surgery, and did a pretty good job maintaining. At the beginning of this month I decided to go back stricter keto again. Since then I’ve lost 3 pounds, which is encouraging. But what’s more exciting is the non-scale victories. My tight skirt that I avoided wearing …
My sister in law took the picture on the right about a week ago when we were up in Michigan. I couldn’t believe the difference when I put the two pictures side by side. They were taken a year apart, and that’s the same shirt. It surprised me how loose the tee is on me …

Mother’s Milk tea I seriously doubt I have any male readers, but if you’re a guy who reads my blog, you’re welcome to leave now. I’m not comfortable discussing female issues with you. Thank you. Are you gone? Good. Breastfeeding and low supply issues are a topic I’ve come to know quite a bit about. …
Recently I found more motivation to get off the rest of the post-baby weight. I stumbled across my diabetes scares me post. Most of the actual baby weight from Anna is gone now. But since I became pregnant again before all the baby weight from Caleb was gone, there’s a bit more to lose yet. …
As of last night, I am 4 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight. That was fun to discover! I was able to switch back to pre-pregnancy clothes earlier this week, but finding out how much weight I’d lost was nice too. That was a lot faster than I anticipated. One thing that wasn’t so fun …
Today my order from Mountain Rose Herbs arrived. It was so fun to look through the box at everything. My original intent for the order was to get supplies to make Nursing Mother Tea. I had a good bit of supply issues when nursing Caleb, so this time, I’m going in armed and ready. Last …
