I still can't believe I have been doing this 15 weeks already. As my husband said, "you've been doing this as long as the football season". I'm glad he remembered I started when the NFL season began. ha ha I had a good week with a great weightloss! Today is the first day I really felt more energetic since being back on the wagon. I was extremely motivated and got a lot done at work today. Below is the video capturing this week's results and thoughts.
p.s. I couldn't drink the kombucha drink anymore after the video. It really grossed me out the more I tried. p.s.s. I tried a new technique of applying my makeup, so my skin has not cleared up as it may appear.
Today's dinner is brought to you by Grass Fed Girl's recipe (FOUND HERE). I was able to purchase some grass fed ground beef for a whopping $10/pound! So, as you can probably guess, I only bought 2 packages. Other than a few changes, I think it turned out really well. Sorry I didn't figure out the nutrition data, but I'm sure its Low Carb and I don't feel guilty eating it at all ;) The changes I made: - Fried veggies in duck fat - used almond flour instead of coconut flour - added more sausage like spices (since its missing the sausage) i.e. sage to the meatballs - added Parmesan cheese to the meatballs - Used half homemade turkey stock and half homemade duck stock Unfortunately the meat that I purchased was 91% lean. Not my preferred amount of fat levels. It wasn't until after I dropped all the meatballs into the pot that my husband said "You know, you could have mixed duck fat into the meatball mixture". Too late. Oh well. I highly recommend adding this recipe to your Low Carb recipe book. Enjoy!
Now I can't wait for leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
I have been back on the LCHF wagon for 3 full days now. Today, I had a hint of "ketosis" breath cross my nostrils. I couldn't wait to get home and test my urine. POSITIVE! My levels showed moderate. I'm hoping by Friday I will be in full "heavy" ketosis. I can't believe it took less than 72 hours! Who would have thought you could look forward to having such bad breath! If you end up falling off the wagon, just know it won't take long for you to get back on and into the swing of things.
