This will probably be my last update regarding the keto lifestyle because it is pretty repetitive at this point. It has been two months since I started eating this way and I have made some adjustments that are a better fit for me, but doesn't necessarily mean I fall under the "keto" category anymore.
I think in terms of being able to jumpstart better eating and weight loss, this was exactly what I needed. The scale wasn't moving no matter what methods I tried, and this was the first time I saw great results and it motivated me to continue. I'm no where near where I need to or want to be, but I am happy with working towards it slowly and safely.
Now, I tend to still stick to a low carb diet, I think that is my best bet. I was eating WAAY more carbs than I thought, and it was not doing me any favours. My body hasn't gone into ketosis in a while but I know that if I want to kick start a good burn having my body go into ketosis is the way to go. I know I am human and I get cravings and life happens so I have learned to just have things in moderation, something I was not doing before. I also learned the relationship I had with food, like many people it became a crutch. When I was stressed or upset I just ate; something that also was not doing me any favours. I see food differently, which sounds so strange to say but I have better outlets when I am stressed or upset.
I know that to be at a good weight that I am happy with, I would like to lose another 30lbs. Today, I have lost a total of 26lbs. Something I have a hard time wrapping my head around, but it took a lot of hard work to get here. I have no intentions of going back to the weight I was. I also want to be at a healthy weight for when we want to start trying again, which won't be for a little bit but I want to give myself time to get there.
Life right now is a bit chaotic, and it has been hard not to slip into this hole I usually slip into. But Everly helps a lot, she keeps me busy and she keeps my heart happy. I plan to continue limiting my carb intake, and working towards being a much healthier version of myself.
