Fell off keto wagon
Monday, December 09, 2019
I've gained 10 lbs in past month, due to holidays. Already 2 Christmas parties behind us. My #keto friends, who initially inspired me to try keto again 5 months ago, are struggling too. He lost 60# and she lost 55#. She has reached her goal and is adding carbs in her diet, eating chips and breads, etc. Making it difficult for her husband to stay on program. He has 60# more to lose. I would like to lose 50# more. My husband is not going to do keto, no matter what. He loves his taters, biscuits and gravy!!! He will eat what I cook but wants cookies and snack cakes in the house. I get grandsons off the bus and feed them supper and a snack after showers, before my daughter gets home to pick them up and put them to bed. They want junk food all the time because their 6'5" 350# father eats that all the time. The boys are overweight too. They are such picky eaters. Last 2 weeks we have compromised on peanut butter sandwiches and sliced apples (instead of chips). I'm not the most enthusiastic cook. I like throwing casseroles in the oven or something in the crockpot. Thank goodness for all the enthusiastic people who like cooking #keto and sharing their recipes!!! Cabbage and kielbasa tonight. Trying keto Salisbury steak with xanthum gum gravy (recipe on pinterest) with green beans and cauliflower mash tomorrow night. Bought a small 1/4 ham, Kentucky Legend yum, will crock it wrapped in aluminum foil for couple hours Wednesday night and that should get us through the week. Having keto friends over for supper tomorrow night. They still work full time. I retired last year. DH retired 3 years ago. If anyone actually reads my blog - thank you. I find it helpful to document my thoughts and struggles. Any advice is welcome. Been watching YouTube keto videos for inspiration and meal ideas. Pinterest always great for meal ideas. God bless you SP friends!!@
