Weighing In...

Literally...here today to weigh in on the weighing in this morning. I'm happy to report that after one week I am down two whole pounds!! Now that's what I call progress. Who knew that measuring and counting the carbs in the food we were eating would reveal the great "carb-aholic" that I am.

Did you realize that just in coffee creamer there are 9 grams of carbs for 1 tablespoon in powder creamer while liquid creamer comes in at a 5 grams of carbs per tablespoon. We switched back to liquid creamer and I actually started measuring out how much was being added. No more just dumping in until I reach the desired effect! After all we are the type of people who like a little coffee with our creamer

Another particular change I made this week was to substitute eating lunch with a Butter Cookie for Energy from a recipe I found on Pinterest. For me I work out at lunch time and I really have no desire to work out on a full stomach....nor an empty stomach either. These Butter Cookies for energy are keto approved and are super easy to make. I'll include the recipe in a later post. After 45 minutes exercising I will follow with a Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bomb, another recipe I found on Pinterest. Both of these give me a total of 5 g of carbs for lunch and I can actually make it until we eat dinner around 5 pm without any blood sugar dips. These always leave me a bit shaky and in desperate need of any kind of food.

Great start for a Monday! I'm pumped as we head into this new week. A few new dinner recipes to try and some more delicious fat bombs to make. Who knew I wouldn't have to give up chocolate or peanut butter to lose a little weight! Now only 18 more pounds to go!!
