What are your fave low carb meals/food/snacks?

Tomorrow will mark one week since I started Keto! I also started intermittent fasting with the 16:8 method.

This is my first meal today - YUM!

Last week when I started sharing my food I was met with a flood of DM’s asking me if I was on Keto and some saying “why, you look fab you don’t need to lose any weight”. It took a LOT of courage to reveal my secret belly that I hid oh so very well beneath spanx, high waisted pants, sucking in and good angles.

Like I said in my IG Story, it’s not that I don’t love myself, it’s that I don’t love that I’ve let myself go.

I’ve always ate the same way and for years it never impacted my weight or shape.

I’ve never been one to work out or be overly active and it never impacted my weight or shape.

I was “lucky” to have such a high metabolism for most of my life.

However, when I hit 35 something shifted. I started putting on weight, mostly in my belly and face.

While I don’t have batteries in my scale (it was bought to weigh the fam for our insurance update), I know just looking in the mirror this is the heaviest I’ve ever been outside of pregnancies.

I don’t wish to be a specific size or weight. I just want my face to be slimmer, my belly to not be so bloated/pudgy and for ME to be happy with what I see when I look in the mirror!

I’ve had such a fantastic response so I will keep you all in the loop with my journey and share my meals when I remember to snap a photo before I dig in.

SIX ... Our sweet girl is six years old today!

You stormed into the world and our lives early, I guess you just couldn't wait to be a part of our family and bless us with your crazy, funny and sweet personality.

When they say to treasure the moments because they grow up fast they really mean it ... where have SIX years gone?

You've been a daddy's girl since day one! I knew it from the moment I saw the two of you together and the way you looked at your daddy, even as a newborn - he was your guy!

It truly is never a dull moment with you around, you make every day amazing and put a smile on our faces.

Your love of books started early and you are so so smart. I love watching you quietly read your big chapter books - you are my real life, Matilda!

No matter how big you get, how many years old you are, you will always be my BABY.

Happy birthday to my sweet sweet Bellaboo.

Oh my heart!

I’ve had extreme #momguilt for the past few weeks because I hadn’t had a spare minute to take Bella to see Santa.

Life of a blogger during Q4!

But, we made it there today and as you can see from Bella’s face, she was so excited to see Santa.

She wrote him a small list (only 7 wishes), decorated it with beautiful artwork and was so happy to give it to him in person!

They read it together and had a little chat as I snapped photos and tried not to ugly cry in the mall.

So, if you haven’t gone to see Santa yet, he is at @shop_hillcrest mall until Christmas Eve (except for Monday) and you take your own photos, as many as you’d like, for only $5.00!

Now back to the million and one things I still have to do before Christmas is here ... are you all ready for Christmas?
