Please remember..we are all given the same days in a year, that time is going to pass anyways so use your time wisely & always invest in yourself. You are always worth it!
You can completely turn your health around in that time.
#mobilechat..found something that has me stumped..can you help me? 10 calories & 5 carbohydrates..if 1carb=4/cals...how can it be 10cals? Sugar alcohols?
Lost 134#'s as of today. Wonderful feeling.
Keep working on it everyday & don't give up.
If I can do this, then anyone can do this :)

Morning view from the deck..the walk will wait.

Happy Grandparents day โก
#mobilechat
Holy moly...this old photo popped up on my Facebook timeline from just a few short years ago..I am so grateful that I started & stuck with getting healthier.
Don't give up on yourself. Stick with it & it works โก
Do not give up on yourself...Do..Not..Quit!
Food should nourish the body, not harm it. Feed yourself well, stop eating the junk you don't need, I promise, there will never come a day when 'you deserve' to 'treat' yourself with junk food. Take care of your body and it will take care of you, push yourself, find your limits & then find a way to exceed them. What you deserve, what we all deserve is a healthy body..no excuses!
#mobilechat #keto #lowcarb
#coach
There appears to be a discrepancy...in the fat grams/calories..
234gx9cal/fat/g is 2106 calories...and I didn't have 234g/fat..
Spicy, spicy dinner :)
Never ever give up on yourself..not for one second. I promise it's all worth it. It's worth eating better food, those extra steps, lifting heavy things just because you can..every single bit of this struggle is worth every reward you will earn getting healthier.
#mobilechat
Great day at the Pumpkin Festival in Half Moon Bay..spent the morning with Hubby, our daughter & grandson..then off to the Pigeon Point lighthouse & a quick spin to Santa Cruz. Now time for some healthy dinner :)
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Dinner with friends :) Hubby & me having a great time โก
#mobilechat
Oh! I just realized what today is..today is the 2 year mark of my weight loss start.
If your just starting out..I promise, it'll happen if you get out of your own way & focus on getting healthier โก
180# down (Dr appt last week), I stopped weighing at home & now focus on size/composition.
Awesome day @ the Riverwalk with Hubby. Boat tour was awesome :)
Yesterday was an amazing evening, beautiful wedding, incredible venue, family & friends we rarely get to see. Nothing like hugging your sister from another mother after 8 years โก
#mobilechat
Such an awesome week in Texas โก
Back in the SF Bay Area & Thursday heading back to Oregon.
Glad we took this vacation :)
Well definitely be doing this more often!
Whipped these little gems for an after dinner treat. Pecan topped almond cookies. So far they're a hit โก

Late dinner out with my lovely daughter last night..went to The Counter, to date:one of the best meals I've enjoyed. Build your own. Definitely more #paleo than #keto, sooo good :)

Sounds boring, but dinner will likely be the same. Lazy Sunday.
Throwback Thursday. No giving up on yourselves. Keep going, even of you don't 'feel' like it. Keep going anyways. Promise, it's worth it โก
Don't always want to take the walk..but I do anyways, sometimes the scenery cooperates & gives a beautiful morning :)
Nice! Our daughter picked this up for us :)
Can't wait to get my hands on it & start digging in to the recipes โก
Of all the things we say to ourselves, "I can't" should never be a thought..give those two words no space in your life!
Success doesn't happen by chance.
We can't change yesterday but today & tomorrow are in our control. We want something different? A different result? Better health? Better life?
We're going to have to make changes & be willing to make sacrifices.
Make a conscious choice between excuses & results.
Lunch..Bonus! Got a double yolk egg. Love those #keto
Dinner. Found some great avocados!
Homemade alfredo-ish sauce & deli chicken thigh.
Eat some good food..on smaller plates :)
#keto
Lunch. Headed to a kids birthday party soon..the usual, pizza, candy, ice cream, cake..nope. Eating before I go.
NO excuses not to eat healthy food, regardless of your plan.
Thinking dinner will be mushroom chicken soup & maybe another salad or broccoli & butter.
#keto
Dinner...threw it together in 10 minutes..healthy food can be fast!
Mushroom, chicken, beef broth, bell pepper, shrimp soup with a side of broccoli & a lot of garlic :)
#keto
Off to another kids birthday party..woohoo, fun to be had..but as always, parties need not be about the food.
Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday โก
Picked the topping off a piece of pizza @ the party..had a great time visiting with the parents/grandparents, stayed out of the room with the nerf fight :)
Then home to cook a quick dinner. That deli chicken is coming in handy..lol
#keto
You've got to want it enough to keep going.
Awesome sale yesterday! Picked up 5# fresh Brussel Sprouts for $6. Definitely a happy camper :) These little cabbages of love are my absolute favorite.
Had a great day with friends yesterday, short nerf war with the kids, tons of coffee, hugs & laughing. Great day โก
Lunch.
Spinach & mushroom omelette, grilled peppers & an Asiago grilled tomato slice.

Hope everything has a great day..eat healthy, get some movement & have some fun โก
#keto
Lunch..tried out a new sauce(butter, mustard, cream). It's good, I'll make it again, but next time maybe a splash of vinegar & a stone ground spicy mustard.
If we gotta eat, why need eat good food..

Dinner..turkey & cabbage soup, mini peppers stuffed with shrimp & cream cheese, cheese crisps & a whole lotta veggies..if they leave hungry it's their fault..lol
Eat good everyday!
#keto #lowcarb
Lunch..left over shrimp. Eat some good food that nourishes your body that tastes good & makes you feel good.
And food scales, if you don't have one are very, very handy, especially as I usually measure in grams, easier to track.
#keto
Served up dinner & my grandson said "no Nanna, I want broccoli NOT slimy mushrooms"..so, a big plate of broccoli, turkey, strawberries & no slimy mushrooms for him..lol

Walking the back half of our property this morning..not what I particularly want to be doing, but the walk needs to happen..no excuses!
Eat some good food! And if it doesn't really taste good, seriously, don't bother. This turkey Alfredo sounded good, but taste, oh blah..so 2 bites in..it's a no..just NO! Won't be making this gelatinous mess again..lol
Ate all the broccoli though :)
Here goes a day of skewed macros..
#keto
Started on morning walk & decided to do something else..a bit more exertion than walking, but the higher view is always good..made it about 12-15 ft before it got too twiggy/branch to go any higher safely โก
Lunch..spicy shrimp & spinach omelette. Finished 1/2..sometimes I think I'm hungrier than I am..helps to eat slower, often realize about halfway through a meal, "Yep, I'm done, put the fork down & move on"..

My cheese loving friends, I need some help..which of these have you tried & liked? Any suggestions..at the store right now. My other choice is the PRE`SIDENT brand. Thank you :)

@ I_GET_BY
The kitchen, before & after.
It was boring beige..lol
Grandson (7) 'helped' paint..bit of a mess, total understatement..haha!
Had some friends over to talk..one of them said "I couldn't do that (keto), I want my cake & to eat it too"..so, we made cake.#keto cake with lemon cream cheese frosting..huh..turns out you can have your cake & eat it too..darn good cake too.
Will take note of measures next time I make it..sorry..I'm one of 'those' bakers..lol
Lunch, definitely worked up an appetite, probably should have made more, but, we'll see.
Just finished loading (with neighbors tractor) the tractor tires for garden beds & thankfully was able to roll them into position about 50yrds away..handy how round things roll..lol
#keto
Lunch, much lighter serving today, planning a big dinner.
Odd flavor combination, but we like what we like. Found an awesome whole seed mustard that dances across my taste buds โก

Friday night dinner..Hubby put the smoker together today & had some friends over. Good times :)
Busy weekend coming, traveling next week, so Sunday dinner turned into Friday Dinner.
Conveniently wrote down the recipe for the cake as I made it this time :) #keto lemon cake..recipe if wanted.
Well deserved after a full day of work. Loaded & unloaded 2 truck & trailer loads for the farm today. Definitely worked up an appetite.

Not too bad of a choice for the Cheesecake Factory..good stuff :) at the butter, left the bread to my son & grandson.

Ran into my son's boss (haven't seen in 3 years) & he did a 2nd & 3rd take then said "Oh my God! Is that you? You disintegrated, you're less than half of you"!
#keto
Haha! I fit into the Chuck e Cheese climbing tubes..had to go retrieve some grandsons :)
Fun times! Spent the day with my daughter in law, her mom & grandsons.
Lunch @ Panera with my lovely daughter..keeping it #keto (hopefully) with the green goddess salad & copious amounts of coffee.
Meeting a dog today that we may adopt, her family has to move.
This is our new friend. Her family situation has changed so she's going to come home with us & live on the farm...likely get even more spoiled. I left the offer open to her family that if their situation changes, they only need to ask & we'll return her.
Back at home..so much easier to control what I eat when I cook it, whole mustard dressing & spicy cucumber/avocado salsa..so good :)
Came home to broken well pipes, flooded yards, but thankfully a friend & I were able to repair it in a few hours & get the water back on. Our new dog is settling in nicely, who knew...she loves the snow..lol
#keto
Creamy chicken & spinach soup with some quicky, microwaved cheddar/jalapeรฑo crisps. It's what's for dinner & perfect on a cold night :)

#keto
Awesome non-scale victory!!! I can now wear my mom's vintage bracelets..think I'll wear it for the day & keep her near my heart today.
Do. Not. Quit.
Lunch & dinner today, tuna salad with lime/olive oil dressing(broke my immersion blender, so no mayo, just mixed in avocado..looks gray) spinach & shrimp cream soup for dinner. My grandson has absolutely refused to even taste the spinach soup, apparently it's deadly to cook spinach..lol, so he opted for a plate of broccoli. #keto
Ha! Tried something new tonight for dinner..heck, it's even kid approved! 90 second (cooked 2 minutes) #keto bread & rather than just plain, added garlic & parmesan & it makes one awesome dinner roll! Definitely wouldn't eat every day as nuts are not my best friend..but, oh, so good for a treat โก
Surprise! My Hubby came up to the farm early (he's not retired yet & we all know the rule..they don't pay you if you don't work)..so.. I'll take what ever time he can eek out of his schedule.
But thankfully was able to pull out a quick family style dinner, surf & turf, mushroom steak Salad not shown. Small plates definitely help keep things from spinning out of control.
Oven roasted pork chops on a bed of pan fried pepper, onion & radish with mushroom gravy. Finally got my fanny to the store today, thought we were going to have to eat cupboard dust..lol
#keto
Lunch & dinner, kind of a lighter day. 4oz 'Meatloaf' provolone cheeseburger over baby greens & beef stuffed mushrooms. Found an amazing Brie $5.99/12oz on sale โก
Eat good food that's good for you :)

Dinner :) let the spinach wilt down in the pan I fried the pork chop in, some cream cheese/parmesan stuffed mini peppers & lovely whole grain mustard โก
As always, served on a salad sized plate, excellent for portion control.

Drove down for the SF area again..seeing the family..having a great time, spent time with both grandsonsโก. Stepped on the scale & the weight gain from the antibiotics seems to have stopped..whoo. good thing. I gained 21 pounds in just over 2 weeks..lost 2 of them though, so I think I'm on the downside effects of that. Nasty stuff :( have been on probiotics & staying #keto so that at least is a bright spot :)
Pan fried meatloaf..not sure if that still qualifies for meatloaf(lazy dinner)..lol, some delicious deli olives & feta cubes, brie & buttered broccoli โก
#keto
Brunch, 2 egg spinach omelette, mushrooms with the stems chopped, butter & parmesan & a small avocado. Coffee is unsweetened with heavy whipping cream.

Late, late dinner..tuna salad with, well, everything.
Eat good food that nourishes your body. Small plates & bowls help with portions.

Woohoo! Dinner after a full day of helping friend pack & load. Garage day. Garlic, rosemary stuffed peopers, parmesan mushroom, garlic shrimp & a lovely broiled pork chop on a small salad plate.

One of those 'want a bit of everything dinners'. Taco stuffed mini peppers with creamy salsa verde, artichoke cream cheese stuffed mushrooms & mint tea..sometimes weird flavor combinations are just what's needed :)

@ a birthday party with Hubby. Good friends, lots of people, awesome weather :)
keeping it #keto & avoiding the sweets. Tempting? Sure, but in reality..not worth it.
Had a plate of amazing Mexican food minus the starches.
One last pit stop before heading back up home to Oregon..nice park :) getting some walking in before the 7hr car ride.
Lunch outside on the deck today. The sun is shining & it's in the 60's. Fabulous day โก

If we want something to change, we're going to have to put the effort in..mediocre efforts will net mediocre results. Dream big & aim HIGH..if you aim low, chances are you'll always hit..and go nowhere.
Meanwhile, out west...
Traffic jam :)
We are all capable of so much more than we think we are. Do NOT sell yourself short with small goals & small dreams. Think BIG, dream BIG & work HARD & make those goals happen! You deserve every result you're willing to work for โก
Dinner..friend wanted Chinese food..haha, no! I'm not going out for Chinese food, homemade is always better.
This is thinly sliced cabbage. Does that make them coodles? Caddles? No clue. Good stuff though :)

There will always be naysayers, those that can but won't, those that are envious of what you accomplish, but they themselves are not willing to attempt..
Ignore them & keep going. Those who can, do. Those who won't don't.
Dinner. Avocado, cucumber & kalamata olive salad, pork tenderloin..the mushrooms & peppers are stuffed with cream cheese & stem..brown butter sauceโก

For those of us that struggle, the new comers, those that think "how am I going to do this"?
We all have abilities, many undiscovered as wear fear the fail. Clap for yourself with every face plant, every time you try & fall flat. Clap for yourself because you are trying.
Be consistent, be kind to yourself & never fear failure, it will lead to you your greatest successes.
Dinner.
Eat good food that's good for you.
We've all heard "I don't have time"..this meal took 22:49 to prepare (timed it).
Make time to nourish yourself.

They're calling this moderate?!? Blah!
Spent yesterday out of town with friends..thinking of going back today. Definitely not an outdoor day here today.
Dinner..I will definitely add way more heat next time, it's too mild, but good. These are konjac shirataki noodles..
A great substitute for traditional wheat or other grains.
Yep, definitely spicier next time.

Yesterday's trip to the museum with my grandson :)
To say yesterday was a bad day, whoo, total understatement...seriously, it was a dreadful start :(
Thankfully I've learned enough over the last 2.5 years that food is NOT the answer & turned that crappy day around.
Spent the day with friends & family.
Lunch outside on the deck. Loving this spicy, whole seed mustard. Eat good food that's good for you, even better if it tastes good โก

New blog post this morning.
"No, Thank you" shouldn't be an issue.
Some days do not go as planned..
Our cat is in labor & has escaped the house. Okay then, 23 acres offers way to many hiding options...off to find her I go.
Lunch. Was craving a cheeseburger with spicy sauce & fiery whole seed mustard..definitely hit the spot โก
#keto
Downloaded this new app..
Going to give it a whirl & do a solid 30 days of the program has then re-evaluate.
Lost 26" off my waist & now it's time to step it up in the ab department!
Even with all the free workouts available, I'm thinking a structured 'do this' may be what's called for at this point, rather than my willy-nilly 'pick one' method.
3 years ago I would have been stunned if someone told me "you'll look forward to working out"..
You don't have to want to do everything you need to do, you just need to do it.
Some days you've just got to knuckle down & drag yourself into doing whatever needs done. Today was that day..
Taking time to developing self discipline has really paid off. Thank goodness, because motivation has left the building today..
Dinner.
Mushroom, black & kalamata olives & pepperoncini stuffed pork chop with homemade Alfredo sauce & spinach on a small plate.
So yummy โก

Cooked the turkey today. Uncle Keith came over to get his turkey legs. Sautรฉed mushrooms, brussel sprouts, cream cheese peppers & little flax seed muffins.

Yummy, scrumptious, spicy turkey & spinach salad :)
Eat healthy food that nourishes your body & keeps you satisfied. I'm a believer in small plates..this portion looks HUGE..this is 2oz cheese & 4oz turkey
Couldn't find a decent avocado..oh well, I will survive the great avocado shortage of May 26th.

Brussel sprouts, turkey & mushrooms in a spicy, buttery turkey broth. Jalapeรฑo cheese 'crackers'.

Crackers (taste like cheezits)
1 oz cheddar cheese slice 1/4'd
350ยฐf on parchment for 15ish minutes after a few minutes of cooling they crisp up.
Early dinner with a little bit of everything.
Broiled the peppers & cream cheese this time. Will definitely stick to this! Much better flavor than baking :)
The dipping sauce is just 3Tbs olive oil & 1/2tsp lemon juice.
#keto #small plates
Lunch :)
My friend gave me a bottle of this lovely Lucini Pinot Grigio wine vinegar...heavenly stuff โก
No skimping on nutrition, just because 'it fits' in your calories doesn't mean it's doing you any good..eat healthy, be healthy.

Going to have a go at making turkey #keto enchaladas tonight..turkey with salsa verde & cauliflower with garlic, chili & paprika..using very thin egg tortullas (1 beaten egg spread thin & cooked on low)..maybe a cream sauce..hopefully it's a success. Well find out tonight, letting it all marinade for a few hours.
Off to tackle the yard..yikes, looks like an overgrown nature preserve!
Success!
These are delicious :)
Sauce is equal parts HWC, pepper jack & sour cream.
Heat HWC, add sour cream, whisk, add shredded pepper jack & let melt.
Because it's me..you know these are also stuffed with spinach โก
#keto #smallplates
Brunch..
Almost nailed the taste of the Pho` soup at this little Vietnamese restaurant in SF China town..so good โก

Super excited! I don't get to see my Hubby often..different states for work, blah!
He made a surprise trip up last night โก
He asked for 'some of that stuff you've been taking pictures of'..so, day two of a fresh pot of Pho` soup, mixed shredded cabbage into the shirataki noodles :)
My grandson ate the rest of yesterdays..

Big weekend breakfast at our house..I nibbled a bit from Hubbys
These are spinach, mushroom & leftover taco meat. Fried radishes & peppers.
Have a great Saturday โก
#keto #smallplates
Family/friend dinner night.
Tri-tip, Cole slaw, faux potato salad (same, just used boiled 1/4'd radishes), cream cheese stuffed peppers & a lemon cake..it was okay, but would make a better 'cornbread'.
Chive flowers in the deviled eggs (their edible) tastes like a mild onion :) & it's pretty.
Grandson told me '"I'm a boy & don't eat flowers" hahaha!
#keto
Dinner.
5 oz Pork tenderloin, mushroom & shrimp in gravy & a standard issue spinach salad..good stuff. Small plates make dinner look bigger :)
Fuel your body with healthy food & it'll thank you in amazing ways โก

Consistency, consistency, consistency! Don't give up on yourself, be willing to make small course corrections, don't listen to people that say "you can't", those are the ones that aren't willing to try.
Be kind to yourself and remember that results and excuses don't play well together.
Respect yourself enough to take care of yourself!
#keto
Now THAT was a workout! Admittedly, I rolled the largest one(taller than me @ 5'4")..but flipped the other 3 end over end 30yrds to get them there.. Going to spray paint these tractor tires & make them into planter beds.
Moved all the yard furniture & swing for the landscaperer, pruned some hedges..it's coming along nicely.
All fueled by #keto โก
Just a reminder..
There isn't a pill/drink/tea/supplement that will be a magic formula to guarantee "amazing results without diet and exercise" or "eat as much of whatever you want and still lose weight"..human physiology doesn't work this way...Not even if they promise to pay you to try it..
There seems to be a massive recruiting drive for product peddlers in our area..This morning I woke up to 11 messages in my FB messages from FB friends to try the new 'it' product.
Day two of landscaping...why on earth do I let this pile up?!? Need to work on that. Moved rocks, good workout, but seriously, rocks are flipping heavy! Pulled 1200ft of hosing & got it ready. Taking a break..not even noon & we've accomplished so much. Suncreen, hat, gloves & ice water are saving the day. On the bright side, we uncovered these beauties hiding in 3ft of weeds :)
All fueled by #keto
Well deserved dinner. Moved 151 rocks today(going to make a rock/gnome/succulent garden), left the 80+ pounders for another time. Dug out six more rocks & relocated. Think I may take tomorrow as a lighter day.
This dinner took 18 minutes..so we CAN work hard all day & have a nice home cooked meal :)
*important..when we're really hungry it's vital to eat slowly..otherwise we're likely to overeat.
#keto #smallplates
Alfredo shrimp, mushrooms & broccoli..it's what's for lunch :)
Good stuff, huge portion, so the other half is for tomorrow.
Eat good food that fuels your body, not just 'calories'..
This took 15 minutes..good food can be quick!
#keto
Cauliflower pizza crust. Grandson wanted pizza, we comprised. Two different DYI personal pizzas. Yep, ate the whole thing.
*confession..I only have cauliflower florets in my freezer, rough chopped them, so a mix of diced & chooped..it made no difference after squeezing..so if you're feeling particularly lazy, like I was, odds are in your favor this will be fine :)
#keto
Dinner. Spinach & tuna salad with everything.
Take care of your body & eat awesome food, your body will thank you for it โก
#keto #smallplates
Friend stopped by for coffee today. She asked for something sweet with coffee. I think she was hoping for a pastry.
This is sweetened vanilla cloud bread layered with cream cheese/butter frosting, instead of little breads, I baked it in a 9" parchment lined pan & 1/4'd..definitely goes faster if you freeze it after 1/4ing & before frosting/stacking, then pop back in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
She says it tastes like angle food cake & ice cream cake..kind of does.
Made the drive to spend Father's Day & our 29th Wedding Anniversary together.. Daughter treated us to a phenomenal dinner in Half Moon Bay & a day at the beach..
Nope, this was not 100% keto compliant..
Just after Sunset in Oregon ๐
Pretty sure that's Venus.
Everyone wanted chili cheese dogs for dinner..making some chili Hubby & I can eat. Not the biggest bacon fan, or hot dogs for that matter, Hubby likes it though..I'll probably survive ๐คฃ
1# cubed cooked hamburger, 6 slices chopped bacon, dried cumin, garlic, onion, chili powder, paprika, S&P to taste, 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can water, slow cooker for 3-4 hours
#keto
Family is leaving tomorrow..it's been fantastic having my hubby & both grown boys here. Set off some fireworks, took the kayaks out last week..all in all a great week ๐
Shaped up to be a lovely evening..today was one of those humid, hot, more than a gallon of water kind of days.
Woohoo! The heat has finally let up enough to actually cook!
Broccoli, cheese, pepperoncini omelette with cream cheese stuffed, roasted peppers. #keto #smallplates
Purple cabbage is definitely a favorite!
Mozzarella stuffed sausage balls & broiled peppers.
Eat good food that fuels your body, not just food that fills the calories.
#keto #smallplates
Spicy, garlicky shrimp & sausage with pan fried brussel sprouts..so good.
#keto #smallplates
Yard work day..slacked off a bit for a few days..whoo, paying for that! Oh well, work to be done! Landscaper friend is tackling the yard & driveway...I'll start moving stuff ๐
Taking a break!
Water, water, water, especially when working in the heat.
Sunscreen & hats ๐
Lunch after a full day ๐

Dinner. Broiled pork loin & mushrooms in beef butter sauce with a hearty spinach 'everything' salad.
#keto #smallplates
Lunch, possibly dinner too, it's too hot to cook today, leftever pork from last nights dinner.
Eat food that nourishes your body, not just 'it fits' in the calories available.
Small bowls/plates keep it in check.
#keto
Today marks 1012 days of consciously making a consistent effort to better myself. Everything starts with a decision and a day one. We all have a day one.
Every aspect of my health has improved, pre-diabetes is a thing of the past, no more BP meds, cholesterol is fantastic now.
Make good choices everyday and pay every effort into a better tomorrow for yourself.

Progress is always good ๐คฉ
This is why many of us recommend that in addition to the scale we need to be taking measurements. This top was super t i g h t when I wore it in July. It's now a little on the loose side. No scale weight lost, zip, zilch, zero. Inches though ๐๐ and inches lost IS fat lost, pants need a belt or โฌ๏ธ they go.
Eat well, eat healthy, find some physical activities you enjoy & do them often and have FUN!!
Keeping today really light. Traveling all day tomorrow in the car. Small mini vacation to visit Hubby ๐ & celebrate his birthday.
Had an awesome visit yesterday on my way down to see Hubby. We had a small family reunion & we got to visit with with both grandsons, both Nana's, my daughter in law & Papa Paul. It was awesome!!!!
Happy, happy times with Hubby ๐
Celebrate your life, love fully & live, live, live ๐

#keto #smallplates
Early Dinner ๐
We need to focus on keeping ourselves healthy with consistency in our choices. Fed a nutritionally dense range of foods our bodies will sort themselves out & the excess fat WILL come off.
#keto #smallplates #omad
Ha!!! ๐คฉ๐คฉTake that upper arms!!! Lost 3/4" off the right & 1/2" off the left since last month. These arms are stubborn!! Just keep at it, it'll happen. It seems slow but it's working ๐
Lunch. Leftover chicken, 3 cheese, plenty of greens, pecans, sunflower & pumpkin seeds with a tangy balsamic, olive oil dressing. Smaller plates/bowls make it all look like a HUGE feast ๐
#keto #lowcarb #smallplates
Hmm.. grandsons logic.
"Kev, want cucumber on your salad"?
"No, I don't like it".
"How do you know, you've never had it"
"They're deadly".
"No, they're not".
"Uh huh, I didn't eat it and I'm not dead".
..the same 8 year old that wore a 'got away' lizard for hours yesterday...
I'll eat the deadly cucumber then ๐คฃ
Dinner. Pork tenderloin with butter balsamic pan sauce, cucumber & radish salad with horseradish...one of those days, did a lot, but nothing has gotten done. Dinner is done!
#keto #smallplates
Awesome unintended road trip yesterday ๐คฉ
We didn't go any farther up the trail because we found the worlds source of poison oak ๐คช
Nice!!! Hubby kept the secret. I woke up to both of my grown sons in my home this morning ๐๐๐๐๐
They drove up & arrived about 4 this morning to spend the weekend here with Mom๐ค๐ค

Splitting a sammy with my friend ๐
#keto #lowcarb #smallplates #intermittentfasting
Some days are just not THE day. Oh well, do it anyways. One of those blah, I feel fat, I don't want to participate days. Tough stuff, but DO IT ANYWAYS.
It's days like these, when we really, really want to sit it out that it's important to pull ourselves out of that and just get it done and prove to ourselves that yes, we can.
Cauliflower crust pizza, pesto sauce, sliced portabellas, chicken breast & artichoke hearts.
2c cauliflower rice(frozen/thawed, squeeeeezed dry, makes about 1c)

Trying out some new recipes. This is Dragons Claw, modified from a Pinterest recipe. Original can be found in a Google search.
Anaheim stuffed with sausage, onion, mushroom & garlic, wrapped in bacon.
Used a spicy vinegar/berry sauce as the original is high in sugar.
Definitely a keeper, but I need to improve my bacon wrapping skills ๐คฃmaybe toothpicks next time. Admittedly, I don't use a lot of bacon.
#keto #lowcarb
And on to another new recipe.
Yellow zucchini cream lasagna.
Spinach, beef, cheese..
Not bad.

Breakfast isn't a norm for me, sometimes though.. For those of us that get bored with 'breakfast', it need not be traditional morning eats. Chicken & feta spinach salad with olive oil & balsamic.
#keto #lowcarb
Salad for dinner with a bit of everything, keeping it #keto.
Telling you what..this self discipline is paying off, if there was a day to lose myself in old unhealthy habits, it'd be today. Got a call from our adopted dogs previous owners & they're ready to take her back๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ but, I did promise if they were in a position to have her back..ugh. Dangitโน๏ธ
Breakfast with my lovely daughter this morning ๐๐
Absolutely fabulous avocado omelette keeps us both happy, her a #vegetarian & me #keto

Woohoo๐๐๐ Hubby has just arrived ๐ค๐
Thanksgiving vacation is officially started.
Sharing a quickly prepared meal, messy but good๐.
#keto #lowcarb
Simple burger with an over easy egg, green beans & crimini mushrooms (12 minutes)
Not the biggest dessert fan, but we have guests & they wanted something sweet. I was like a deer in headlights ๐ฒAlways unprepared for dessert ๐คฃ
#keto, definitely not low fat, so not for everyone.
1c HWC (2c whipped), sweetened if you like, used 1Tbs stevia, slather on to parchment thinly-ish, used sugar free chocolate syrup & natural peanut butter, the runny kind that needs to be stirred.
Place on freezer rack, flat, for 20-30 minutes.
I cut this into 1.5 inch squares. This served 6
Finally got dinner served at 6:30..had to start over. Turned my back on the pan roasted garlic & well, as you can see, no garlic sauce.. nearly lit it on fire๐ cheese sauce it is then!!
Tomorrow is my birthday &
we are eating leftovers so I can do
n o t h i n g alllllllday long..
๐๐๐คฃ
Gotta love leftovers at the end of the week๐๐
Cauliflower hash, meatloaf & #keto chili
#smallplates
Dinner. Huge fan of cooked radishes & tried Daikon radish gratin tonight (sans anchovies). Eh, it's ok, not a favorite. It's a good #keto, definitely not a great one though..it's off the Thanksgiving menu.
FYI: Daikon looks like a white carrot, awesome stuff!!

Lunch with my Hubby๐. Roast beef, cream cheese/bacon stuffed celery.
Simple foods can be amazing as we eat with our eyes first๐ง
That 3rd egg is garnished with celery leaves.. incredible flavor punch with just a pinch๐คฉ
#keto #smallplates
Trying out some keto baked goods..
Oddly enough, Hubby doesn't seem to mind ๐๐๐คฃ
Modified this traditional sugar cookie recipe I've had for ages to be more #keto friendly. Recipe in comments.
These are brushed with Bourbon, dipped in Cinnamon/stevia(after baked)
And the jelly's are 1/2 tsp sugar free jelly just before baking(make a small well in center). Plain ones taste almond wedding cookie-ish.
THESE are on the menu๐๐๐คฉ
Dinner..re-made the Daikon radish gratin but did it stove top & finished under the broiler with HALF the fat..so much better tonight. If you do try the recipe posted last night, definitely 1/2 the fat, not greasy at all ๐
#keto #smallplates
Quick & easy..
Personally like a smidge (ton) more lemon, so that was increased & added some extra zest.
Just topped with a dollap of whipped cream & a thawed blackberry.
Handmade the mascarpone(all the recipes are pretty much the same & super easy)
#keto #dessert
*These are 3oz cups.

Happy Thanksgiving!
**Thankfully the dishes are done๐**
Out of all the food I prepared, these were the hit๐คฃ
#keto dessert with a very traditional Thanksgiving meal. I stuck with turkey, zucchini and gravy, the next day sluggish ugggh isn't worth the delicious bites of other sugary/starchy foods.
Recipe for shortbreads, thanks to my lovely cousin Jonelle in the comments.
The lemon pudding was listed the other day.
Productive day๐คฉ๐คฉ
Went to town & got my grocery shopping done, built & painted a new entertainment center, painted the guest bath & cabinets (navy & white). All in all a good day!!
Having a friend over for lunch tomorrow, #keto beef stew is on the menu.
Dinner, steak & mushrooms with rosemary/garlic olive oil. Loving these petite mushrooms ๐๐
Spent an awesome day with my friend, made #keto beef stew for lunch & spent the rest of the day doing absolutely nothing ๐ญ
Yummy goodness for lunch, left over roast beef & everything salad.
Have gotten a few more things ticked off the to do list, small stuff today, but still need good fuel ๐

#lowcarb #keto
Taco-ish salad for dinner. Had to go to the store and buy real food. The contents of son's cabinets looks like a nightmare episode of chopped ๐ฑ๐คช
#keto #lowcarb #nojunk
Dinner. For comparison, #keto vs not keto. Difference is mine is shedded, steamed cabbage.
I can imagine many of us are cooking 2 or more different meals when we have different dietary requirements..not here๐๐คฃ
Early dinner. Thin crust pizza. Not a big fan of regular fathead dough so this is a lighter variation of that.
#smallplates #keto #lowcarb
Now they need some time to set. These are the gluten & sugar free shortbread cookies from yesterday dipped in sugar free chocolate . Will serve these with STRONG coffee โ for the sugar free crowd.
Started some lemon ones soon. The #keto royal icing was a flop, eh, nothing ventured and all that ๐
No secret..I love to cook/bake & the holidays provide a wonderful opportunity to do so.
This year I had little boxes waiting for everyone to take some treats home. It was awesome. I got to bake & didn't feel the 'obligation' to indulge. The top shelf is ALL sugar free, gluten free #keto and all the treats are gone๐๐๐
Family salad night๐คฉ
Because after the holidays...and seriously, even though I was well behaved and kept it #lowcarb if not 100% #keto...too many *treats*
Happy 1st week of the New Year!
Creamed spinach, chicken & a fried egg.
Simple, quick food when life gets busy but you still have to eat healthy ๐

Big dinner of lighter fair.
Mushroom soup on cabbage noodles, spinach salad & two boring fried eggs.

Doesn't hurt that they were all on discount โญ
Lunch brought to us by the color green ๐๐คฃ
Spinach & parmesan flatcackes? Crepes? Eh, I don't know, do know they're delicious ๐
#keto #lowcarb #smallplates

I spread these thinly with sour cream, served folded, topped with fresh salsa with a side of pesto, ๐ and olives.
Happy Valentine's day ๐๐
It was a toss up whether Hubby would be able to make it up for the weekend or not.
Thankfully he did ๐๐
Brought some stuff he wanted made for dinner. Steak & mushrooms.
As always, I use the smaller plate, eating like a 6'4โ man would do nothing good for my waistline ๐คฃ
Shoveled my way around the yard & cut a path to the workshop, not deep, maybe 6 inches, but needed a workout๐ช
My reward?
Hubby taught me how to make a pen today โ๏ธโญ
Any day spent together is a good day ๐ค๐
Dinner is Asian inspired soup.
Broth is 3c chicken broth, 1 tsp tomato paste, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 tsp grated ginger, 1Tbs sesame oil, all simmered for a few minutes
#keto #lowcarb
Turkey day ๐ฝ๏ธ
Hubby & I had a friend over for dinner. Forgot there were mushrooms in with the turkey ๐ค ๐ & made spinach & shrimp stuffed mushrooms as a side.
Must have been good, better than I thought anyways. They ate a 12 pound turkey ๐๐๐คฃ
#keto #lowcarb
Cauliflower pizza with Alfredo sauce to share with Hubby ๐
He wasn't expecting it & I do love to surprise him with favorites.
Thankfully he like spinach ๐
#keto #lowcarb
Dinner...surf & turf #keto style. Had some leftover cauliflower crust. Makes a good flat bread.
No matter your plan, no matter your needs, there is NO need to deprive yourself of good nutritious food with the occasional indulgence, tonight would definitely be an indulgence ๐
The larger plate is Hubby's, even taking the smaller plate, I gave him about 1/4 of my plate. ..too much food
Spinach and chicken salad for lunch.
5 days of many, many big meals have my pants fitting snugger this morning. Nope, nope, nope. Worked too hard for THAT!!
An occasional indulgence is okay, but not 5 days!
#keto #lowcarb #smallplates
Food ๐๐
A sprinkle of parmesan, some butter, green onions & a bit of red pepper makes this boring dish pop ๐
Heading up to see my lovely niece soon. She delivered baby Carter๐ถ๐ last night.
#keto #lowcarb #smallplates
It's cold outside, grab your cuddle buddy & snuggle ๐คฃ๐
Late dinner. Finally remembered to but brie cheese ๐
Found baby portabellas marked the same price as buttons ๐ this is a steak & mushroom stuffed one, so good.
#keto #lowcarb #omad #smallplates
My son (pictured) inspires me more than he knows.
Often he looks a challenge in the face & blows right through it.
This picture of him pretty much sums up how to get to where you want to go.
Never easy & that's the point.
We all need to have something we aspire to.
Dinner ๐
Spinach, cabbage & celery leaf salad base with more stuff. I love stuff salad ๐ celery leaves offer a huge flavor punch!
For size reference, the 3oz each steak & shrimp are on a 7" bread plate.
#keto #smallplates #lowcarb
Taco Tuesday for Lunch, Grandson helped prepare this platter & we shared, he had his tacos๐ฎ & Nana had salad ๐ฅ
Shrimp and spinach stuffed mushrooms for dinner..there is 4 cups of spinach in the 3 mushrooms, it just cooks down to nothing ๐
Late lunch or early dinner ๐คท
Hit the spot ๐
1/2 head of cabbage, sliced to stips & sauteed for about 2 minutes, enough to wilt & make noodle-y.
Separate pan-
4oz chicken breast cubed, 2 sliced mushrooms, 1/2 c sliced celery cooked together, 1tbs butter, 2tbs cream cheese, 1 c chicken broth, simmer till reduced to cream sauce, 10-12 minutes.
#keto #lowcarb
Made our way to the pond, passed rabbit central, made snowmen, had a snow fight and had a fantastic dinner, expect for the chili cheese biscuit pictured, blah, total failure๐ฑ
*Just cream cheese in the peppers, low broiler till color wanted.
Perspective though, this is a small bread plate and small cereal bowl.
#keto #lowcarb #smallplates
Dinner. Please excuse my messy desk. One of those days. Playing catch-up from Friday. Blah, just NOT motivated today..BUT I know myself and how disappointed I'll be tomorrow when I pull my head out blahville, so I'll carry on as if I'm Queen of Motivation Land ๐คช.

You know I've always found it funny that friends, happened again today, will give unsolicited weight loss advice. This particular friend has on a series of rotating diets/pills/shakes/contraptions for years, loses a bit, gains that & then some. We all know the pattern.
Why do unsuccessful people continue to give successful people advice that doesn't even work for them ๐
Dinner ๐
This week is DONE!!!! ๐๐
Chicken breast medallions & a stuffed HUGE button mushroom (about palm sized) stuffed with 2c cooked spinach, a smaller diced mushroom, rosemary, thyme & 1 Tbs parm cheese, salt & pepper.

#keto #lowcarb #smallplates
Snow bowling & yard sledding with grandson & friends โญ
Fun day ๐๐
Dinner.
Chicken & celery soup with fresh shredded spinach on the bottom.
The breads are modified oopsie/cloud breads. Egg whites & I are not friendly at the moment so I omitted them. Just cream cheese & egg yolk, lazily mixed in a ziplock & piped onto parchment. 6Tbs cream cheese, 3 egg yolks, 350ยฐf for about 10 minutes. Makes 12
*On a good surprise note, cooked at lower heat, these would make awesome #keto #lowcarb lady fingers for tiramisu. May have to try that once the flu bug passes.
Dinner.
Cheese burger with a fried egg.
This is the 90 second bread made with coconut flour rather than the traditional almond flour.
1Tbs coconut flour, 1/4tsp baking powder, 1egg, 1Tbs coconut oil(or melted butter), mix & microwave 90-120 seconds in a small dish, will not stick.
To these (doubled recipe) is added 1Tbs chopped pepperoncinis, 1Tbs chopped green olive 1/4 tsp dried rosemary & 1/8 c shredded cheddar.
#keto #lowcarb #smallplates
Appetite came roaring back...with a sweet tooth ๐ฑ
That's okay, I can keep it in check & occasionally throw treats at the beastly thing.
Cheese omelette & scrumptious pan roasted brussel sprouts, probably too many, but eh, hungry is hungry.
The cake is a sweetened lemon/vanilla 90 second coconut #keto bread with cream cheese frosting, looks big, but no, not so much. Gawwwwd I could eat all the foods!!!
#smallplates itty, bitty plates.
๐ฟ๐ so excited ๐๐๐
Got 15 baby trees & 20 shrubs, white oak, vine Maple & Oregon Ash to plant on our property.
Soup & salad for dinner.
Whoo, finally got some relief from that sweet tooth bug๐
Back to my lovely spinach salads, threw some into the soup for good measure..well, that & all 200g (7oz) wouldn't fit in the salad bowl ๐๐คฃ
#keto #lowcarb
Quick lunch, changed it up with a little romaine, eh, not a favorite, prefer spinach but I need a bit more variety.
I think next time I'll grab some red leaf lettuce & some more purple cabbage.
#keto #lowcarb #smallplates
Keeping dinner simple.
Shrimp, mushroom & mini pepper stir fry over broccoli.
#smallplates #lowcarb #keto
Tomatoes don't happen often for me, but when they do ๐๐๐๐ my friend gave me some from her year round green house, so good ๐
Brie & warm chicken breast spinach salad.
Pretty excited, cleared my schedule & heading down to California till after Easter. Escaping the crazy weather. So far today it's rained, warmed up, then hailed ๐คฃ
#keto #lowcarb #smallplates
Awesome time with Hubby at a friends house for a birthday brunch.
Tons of incredible food but it's important to remember why I started , how far I've come & stick to the plan, focus on the people & eat light.
Serious praise for EVERYONE that lives in a city (I live in a small town) & manages to lose weight.
Hats off to you guys. We're out and about today & good Lord food is EVERYWHERE.
I'd love to say I could maintainundwr these conditions...but I don't know.
Picked this brie up at Costco. Thinking I'll buy a trunk load to take home. Sooo good ๐ definitely recommend for the brie fans.
Leftover Costco chicken and some tasty nibbles for a light lunch.
#smallplates #keto #lowcarb
Chili at the boys request. Threw a salad on the plate for myself. Surprised to find organic spinach by the pound here on the cheap ๐
Thank God for the grocery stores everywhere. My sons have an apartment above a pizza place. Do recommend their Greek salad though. The smell... heavenly ๐, not even a pizza fan ๐๐คฃ
#keto #lowcarb
Holy moly, late night. Costco chicken to the rescue!! Threw a quick cucumber, avocado salad together, roasted cream cheese peppers (5 minutes) & pan fried asparagus.
These paper plates are hunormous๐ฒ
Cheesy, tomato pasta for the rest of the family.
#keto #lowcarb
Made our way to the Japanese Gardens & the connected parks today.
Got in a good 3 miles of walking & some time on the play structure โญ
Meeting our youngest son's girlfriends parents tonight for dinner. Guess they are getting serious ๐
Absolutely fabulous evening out meeting my sons GF parents. They're really nice.
If you happen to be in the Redwood City area I can heartily recommend the Redwood Grill.
Had the roasted herbed chicken breast with seared brussel sprouts and roasted veggies. Delicious ๐
Huge portions, so be aware of that ๐คฃ
Okay my precious Spark friends...this is one of the reasons we DON'T quit!
We're at an amusement park & my grandson and I are hanging out, riding these roller coasters ๐๐๐๐๐๐ข
Wanted to do this for decades ๐
Hope everyone had a lovely day. Small family dinner & now on to game night ๐
My lovely daughter has the day off & brought my grandson and I to this well hidden gem today.
Ending the day well. Last night here with family.
Instant pot ribs garlic, pepper shrimp
Kept it #keto for myself in a salad plate.
Home safe. Got some sleep, re-charged the batteries, now to feed the appetite and get some fuel.
Lemon pepper shrimp & more of that stunning brie ๐ four tiny cherry tomatoes, love them but they don't love me ๐คฃ
Brought home some desserts friends made for Easter, no lying, I sampled at Easter dinner..gave it to the neighbors. Don't dare keep it in the house.
#keto #lowcarb #smallplates
Kid snacks ๐
Sometimes dinner just gets slapped on a plate. Tonight is that night. Thankfully had precooked chicken & frozen broccoli. 5 minutes to dinner is not a bad thing as long as it's healthy ๐คฃ
#keto #lowcarb #fastfood
Just because we make it doesn't mean we need to eat it. Just. Don't. Eat. It!!
Thank God for neighbors, my taste testers ๐
Happy birthday to my lovely niece. She loves chocolates & strawberries..the balls are chocolate dipped cake balls (cake pops).
In everything we need to be willing to change directions.
Having some sensitivity issues so time to make a change. Coming off of a 36 hour fast to combat some lingering inflammation (nope, didn't even sample any of that cake yesterday while making it, again, thankful for neighbors willing to sample along the way, such a hardship for them ๐๐คฃ)
Eliminating dairy for a few weeks and seeing if I can get it back under control.
Day 1 of no dairy down for the record. Will re-evaluate after 3 weeks & go from there. Uncle Keith joined me for lunch ๐ค ginger/sesame broccoli & shrimp.
Dinner is egg muffins & spinach salad.
Chicken breast, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms & plenty of pepper ๐ didn't taste a difference without the cheese.
#keto #lowcarb
23 bushes/baby trees moved & transplanted today. Enjoyed the warm sunny weather & warmth. Tomorrow I'll start weeding the side flower bed. Didn't ๐ these beauties until today, the weeds poked up fast!
Happy Sunday ๐
Loving the warmer weather.
Taking a lunch break ๐
Pre-cooked chicken & frozen veggies, cauliflower florets & brussel sprouts for the win ๐ tossed in some fresh spinach.
#fastfood #keto #lowcarb
Dinner. Rosemary/pepper shrimp, boneless chicken thighs & homemade copycat Rao's tomato sauce and of course broccoli because broccoli is loveโค๏ธ on a plate.
Eat good,feel good ๐
Way less hungry than I thought, only ate half the shrimp & one thigh.
#keto #lowcarb
Feeling pretty good after a full day, got some more stuff potted, 4 heirloom tomatoes & some tuscan blue rosemary. Transplanted a few quickly growing trees/shrubs. The rest will move to their final placement next week.
*Tip..don't bother with expensive pots for the first stages. These are all from the dollar store.
Happy Mother's Day ๐
Wishing everyone a fabulous day.
Had an amazing day enjoying the blossoming outdoors ๐ท
Super spicy shrimp salad for dinner.
#keto #lowcarb #HUGEplate ๐คฃ
Light lunch on an indoor day. Too rainy to work outside.
Olive oil & 1/2 tsp of scrumptious balsamic for my cucumber/olive/tomato salad.
Haven't had pickles in a while, finally remembered to buy them, so good ๐
#keto #lowcarb #smallplates
Dinner with my grandson. Not a bad way to wrap up the day ๐
Chicken thigh & lemon rosemary shrimp. Apparently the eggs are cyclops one eyed olive eggs ๐
Having some berries for dessert, well, if he doesn't gobble them all. Growing boys appetites ๐คฃ๐คฃ
#keto #lowcarb
Lunch is the shrimp & 'cyclops' eggs leftover from last night with some cucumber chips & quac.
Spemt the day setting my 'get off your fanny' alarm for every 30 minutes๐ถโโ๏ธ THIS is definitely a practice I'll keep going. Even 3-5 minutes of rapid movement is a relief ๐
#keto #lowcarb #smallplates #MOVEIT
Shrimp and pork mushroom stew over fried cabbage noodles garnished with celery leaves.
Too windy and cold to work outside today. Definitely a soup day ๐
#keto #lowcarb #fastfood
Sunday afternoon feast ๐
Grandson asked for chili, Nana can do beanless chili ๐
This one is just diced bacon, diced pork loin, browned in the pan, small diced onion, 4 mini peppers, the regular spices & a few Tbs tomato paste, 4 cups water & simmer for an hour.
He wanted his with a side of watermelon & blue/black berries.
#keto #lowcarb
Surprise family visit leads to a family style meal ๐
Even with gatherings, still have to keep to my #smallplates
Thankfully they don't mind a few hastily thawed pork loins & a bag of frozen shrimp ๐คฃ
#keto #lowcarb
Dinner..first plate I made myself was promptly dumped in the floor ๐ญ
Lesson learned, double up this fine China ๐คฃ
Last big family dinner. Brats on fried cabbage & carrots & a plate of cold stuff.
#keto #lowcarb #FamilyIsLove ๐
More family visits!! They're just passing through though.
Sausage & shrimp..stew? Sure, we'll call it stew, pan roasted pork chops, herbed cauliflower/daikon rice, the daikon gives it more of a rice texture, tons of mixed veggies ๐
Admittedly ๐ I ate two #smallplates
Definitely more #lowcarb than #keto tonight.
Yep. It's that time. Taking off for a well deserved week away ๐
A good perk with losing weight? A while weeks worth of clothes fits into 1 average travel bag ๐๐๐
Have an awesome week everyone ๐
Good news & great news!
Got to spend last evening with BOTH grandsons ๐๐ and again tonightโฅ๏ธ
The climbing stairs in my home town has paid off. Climbing the stairs at the boys apartment is a breeze, still some pain, eh the nature of arthritis.
Walked down those stairs & got a Greek salad from the pizza place #keto lunch
Had an awesome visit with family. Plan was not on point here & there, but right back at it! Spent an amazing weekend at the lake with friends this weekend after returning home.
Definitely recharged my batteries ๐๐
Dinner, back to the basics after a week of not so good and not so basic.
Protein and plenty of vegetables, some healthy fats.

#keto #lowcarb
Dinner after an absolutely amazing day. Took my oldest grandson to the museum scavenger hunt this afternoon. Whoo LOTS of walking, stairs, reading the fine print on the exhibit details to ferret out๐ง the required information. Hours of exploration. Definitely recommend the experience! Fun day ๐
#keto #lowcarb #omad
Sometimes extra motivation smacks you in the face and it's good.
Time to kick this body into high gear and get rolling and start challenging myself again ๐
Admittedly, I let myself get 'comfortable'.
A great ending to an incredibly rigorous day๐ช
Sitting out in the finally cooled off night enjoying the view from the deck๐
Put in 10 hours of yard work, gardening & getting those ridiculous 'piles' of debris moved.
Another long work day lined up for tomorrow, thankfully with a friend to help๐ญ
Hard work ๐ช makes for hungry girls!!
Breaking for lunch ๐
Shrimp, mushrooms/peppers/zucchini stir fry, broccoli and tomato/green onion onion salad-ish.
More #lowcarb than #keto but that's okay, it's solid nutrition ๐
๐ค
Told my grandson I'd pay him 10ยข per pinecone picked up...300 pinecones later ๐๐คฃ
He wanted more, surely they'll fall soon enough.
Keeping him busy OUTSIDE ๐
More gardening planned for the day ๐
Our local Home Depot had closeouts on plants.
Always a good day when I'm puttering in the soil.
Gardening done just in time! Got rained out by a surprise storm.
Time for dinner..no, this isn't all for one ๐ sharing a quickly prepared meal with friends. Chicken & celery soup
#goodeats #fastfood #keto #lowcarb
Woohoo!!! Have my Hubby, son & both grandsons for a week ๐๐
Our youngest son & his lovely girlfriend will arrive the 3rd.
Think we're having a party ๐
So far we've managed not to starve ๐
*Highly recommend this blue platter thing-y. Got it at the $1 store, each outer well has 2 cup liquid capacity & inner well is 1 cup.
Kept it #keto #lowcarb for myself, pasta or rice for everyone else. 3 cups cooked pasta, 1/4c Olive oil, 3 cloves garlic, salt & pepper. Give everything about 2 minutes in the pan on med to meld together.
Made amazing deal!
Traded my friend 6 of my from seed pepper plants for 6# unprocessed pork belly & homemade sausage ๐
BLT-ish dinner. I really wish tomatoes & I were better friends, love these globes of goodness
#keto #lowcarb #
Dinner. My grandson and his friend are here. Invited our neighbor over and had a feast...just because.
We had a great day and then got chsed out of the pool with a surprise lightning storm ๐ฒ
Kept it #lowcarb #keto for myself and made some rice for everyone else, always away to make it work ๐
Finally remembered to buy iceberg lettuce. Been craving a wedge salad for the longest time. Perfect on a hot day ๐
#lowcarb #keto #smallplates
Lunch with my grandson. He hogged the cucumbers & blueberries. Too hot to cook today, leftovers and fresh veggies it is ๐
Greeted to a beautiful sunrise after a long trip home.
Off to bed to sleep off that drive ๐ด
Good times ๐คฉ
Dinner with Hubby & some friends ๐
Made it easy on myself & had everything prepped in advance. 20 minute prep & 20 minute cook.
Made 2 small red potatoes into hash in case anyone wanted a starch. Turns out we're all either #lowcarb or #keto
Dinner for 1.
Needed to use the last of my asparagus before it was inedible ๐
Took a few days off and got my arthritis inflammation back under control, those flare ups are a pain.
#smallplates #lowcarb #keto
Spinach just vanishes when cooked ๐
10c bowl vs 2c bowl
But it's still good stuff ๐
Omelette with 2oz homemade sausage, .5oz parm & the vanishing spinach.
Not a bad late lunch.
#smallplates #lowcarb #keto
Simple foods ๐
Today's been spent on a series of small, simple projects, nice way to spend the day.
#smallplates #lowcarb #keto
Yay! 3 more trees planted today, some bulbs taken out to move to another location later.
Digging is awesome exercise ๐ช
Dinner.
Spicy cauliflower rice with shrimp, peppers, spinach & garlic chives.
Had a long weekend away. Not off plan, just too much food too often.
Time to get back to the basics.
*If the frozen cauliflower rice is thawed on med/low on the stove, uncovered, it'll dry itself out and you won't lose the texture with squeezing. Takes about 1/2 hour, but worth it if you have time.
#smallplates #keto #lowcarb
They don't look like much now but hopefully come spring they'll grow like weeds ๐ฑ dogwood bush & mountain Heather.
Hand dug a 15 ft trench today for irrigation ๐ช๐ฅด
Great exercise but whoo, that did me in!
Sometimes life doesn't let up and you just get firehosed for days and weeks on end.
I'm so grateful that I took the time to build in a system for myself and have learned "NO, we'll deal with your issue in a few minutes, I need a moment to gather myself".
Sometimes it's the only thing that keeps me on track.
Finally have a day to myself โญ. It's been fabulous. My only chore was a healthy dinner ๐
Stuffed portobello (steak/leek/crimini) & steamed broccoli.
#lowcarb #keto
Cream 'anything' squares.
Had the neighbors over for dinner. Hubby's here for the weekend ๐ฅฐ
Roasted brussel sprouts, Cole slaw, green beans, mushrooms, pork chops & soup.
Altogether a nice day.
Everyone at dinner eats fairly #lowcarb or #keto so that was easy. Daikon radishes in the soup are a great potato substitute ๐
Going to enjoy a meal with my friend this evening ๐
Roasted chicken breasts, broccoli, pan roasted brussel sprouts, sliced portobello & wilted leeks ๐
A delicious meal after a long day is always a good thing.
#lowcarb #keto
Healthy afternoon eats.
Plenty of good stuff in the bowl.
Ginger, garlic & sesame oil ๐
Eat good, feel good ๐
#lowcarb #keto
Spinach for the win ๐ช
Trying to shift my intermittent fasting window a little bit at a time to an earlier set.
Talked to the Dr and she suggested starting with 11am rather than 2-3 pm daily schedule & reevaluate in a few weeks.
Got to be flexible ๐
She said she's had some patient success shifting that around in an order to midigating pre-menopause symptoms and re-establish decent circadian rhythms.
Willing to give daily brunch a go ๐
#keto #lowcarb
Early dinner, plenty of color and taste ๐
Tried a new upper back and torso exercise set this morning ๐.
You know when you try something and immediately realize this is definitely going to have successful results?
That was this morning ๐ช
#keto #lowcarb #EatTheRainbow
The day is done and dinner is served.
Roasted pork loin & wilted leaks ๐
Missed brunch for a meeting,boring and slow ๐, but that's okay, its wrapped up & I get a 3 day weekend ๐
#keto #lowcarb #smallplates
Consistency, consistency, consistency.
For all those times we tell ourselves "I can't do this"..
What if we said "what if I just don't give up"?
We were meant for more than giving up!
196# down
Heading back home after an outstanding long weekend with friends and family.
Physical health is important but we can't neglect our mental health.
Find your happiness & recharge those batteries often โค๏ธ
Food, food, food!
Make good choices and our bodies won't fight, they'll work properly and give us the results we want ๐คฉ
Was going to work outside prepping the garden but it's snowing ๐จ๏ธ ready for spring.
Chicken/leek/celery & mushroom soup, ha, take that snow ๐ฅ

Absolutely beautiful day with Hubby in Santa Cruz ๐ฅฐ
Early dinner, faux potato salad, radishes.
Waiting for the 1st coat of paint to dry in the bathroom, got to keep busy ๐

Steak & egg salad. If we're going to eat healthy it might as well taste good ๐

Blueberries, blackberries from seed(we'll see๐คท) tomatoes, mint and cucumbers.
Shoveled out a 10x4 vegetable patch ๐ช๐ฅด
