Keto Day 1 Check-in​!

Today I am considering the first day of my Keto diet.
I made a mistake and went shopping for food that I wanted to say goodbye to this weekend, but I also did the shop whilst hungry! So I ended up with more food than I could eat in 2 days. When I came yesterday after an evening of watching people eat carbs, whatever food we had left that was not Keto in any way shape or form, was eaten. It was not a very impressive start to a new diet!
I left my Sorbet out to defrost so I couldn’t eat it tonight! That is how bad I felt after eating carbs. So today is my first day of Keto and I will learn from my hungry shopping. Don’t do it!

Today was pretty good. No sugar crashing yet, but I have started the Keto flu early. It is probably my allergies acting up but it is about to start. The last time I did the Keto I had the flu for 2 weeks, so I can just see it lasting longer this time around as I have just recovered from the worlds longest cold I have ever hard and my immune system took a kick because of it. I will push through even though it is the hardest thing I have to push through. I feel like I am ill quite a lot and I really do not feel or like being ill the amount I am. I am just taking tablets for it and hoping to stop it as much as possible. I am going to try serval things to see what works best to kick the Keto flu the best and report back.

I am starting my day off with having a Vega shake first thing in the morning and it is an amazing thing! Vega is a vegan nutrition product. The one that I have in the morning is  Vega One All in One Nutrition Shake. It is a powder that includes your daily nutrients and multivitamins you need in a day. One scoop is 3 net carbs!

I can have this shake first thing in the morning and I’m good until lunch. I am really hoping this is going to help me in the mornings with my early starts and just helping me get all the daily nutrients without having to make sure it all fits into my diet with low carb food. It is probably possible to do it, but meh its 3 net carbs, I’ll cope!

So going forward and what to expecting in the next couple of weeks I am reading some books on Keto and will review them once I have sunk into them. I am also planning on posting some meals that I have tried and tested (Once I have tried and tested them!).

BUT I HAVE SOME NICE NEW GYM GEAR AND IM EXCITED TO GO!

Anyway, this is all for now. I just wanted to check in and let you know that I have started the Keto and that today is my first days of getting myself together!
I’m going to eat bacon because my diet allows me too!

See ya!

She’s at it again!

So this is Rosie checking in for the billionth time and not actually sticking to blog posting.

I have a huge backlog of posts, but just never physically got round to tagging it all, because it takes so god damn long to do!!!

At 24 I have finally got to the stage where I have completed nothing. I finished my degree and worked three jobs at the same time and then very quickly moved to Canada, but for some reason, this is not going to be my crowning glory. I do not want to be remembered for that small period of my life forever.
I have gotten to the point in my life where I need to make some changes and I need to make them now.

First on my long list is my weight.

Moving to Canada was a great idea because all the expensive import food I craved as a teenager became cheap. Pizza pops, Twizzlers, Root Beer and Hershey’s White Cookie Chocolate have quickly become my best friend and my waists worst enemy.
So this time I’m publicly shaming myself and my indulgences so that I actually get on with it and lose the weight this time.

I will eventually post a picture when I actually feel confident enough to do it, but for now, I can say in the last year, my weight has gone up quite a large amount. Mostly in my tummy area and the tops of my legs, but I know that sticking to my diet and actually doing some exercise is going to help.

So what is the lucky diet this time I hear you ask?
Keto… for the 3rd time.

Now the reason this is the 3rd time I have tried Keto is not because it does not work, because it does and I get great results, its just that some sort of holiday happens and I fall off the wagon at the first chance I get, then I feel like I need to make up for lost time, eat all the carbs and its an endless cycle of Rosie’s chub!

This time, I’m going to journal everything.
Not everything, remember I am Rosie and moderately lazy.
But I’m going to post my favourite recipes, how my exercising is coming along and how my mood is.

My plan (You’ve heard this before if you have read any of my other posts) is to post about 3 blog posts a week.
-Food and general diet.
-Exercise.
-Mental Health and lifestyle.

This may or may not work, but I’m going to give it all a go.
So my prep for the new start begins today. I’m going to having a massive clean up, clean out and some food shopping to get some prep done so I can start tomorrow. I may do a daily catch up if I feel like it for the first couple of weeks, so we can future evaluate whats going on.

For now, I’m going to eat every carb in sight and hit it hard tomorrow.
Keep those fingers crossed for me!
