Keto at ALDI!



Holy wowza y'all!
I am usually Kroger Clicklist kinda girl. I love to sit on my couch with my weekly meal planner log and add item after item to my cart, check out, drive up to the store and get it all loaded up! It's amazing and so convenient and I love love love it.

But today I decided to get adventurous and take my crew to Aldi to look for the 0 carb bread that I have heard so much about. (Mama has a toast craving, okay?).

What. The. Actual. Heck.

I have been missing out on soooo much! I not only found the bread that I was looking for but I found cheese wraps, egg wraps, all kinda fancy meats, BERRIES THAT ARE DIRT CHEAP!  I have an entire video detailing what I found at Aldi over in my FREE Keto Group! After you watch I would love to know what you have found while shopping at Aldi that help you stay true to your Keto way of eating!

If I Told You My Story....Part 1



If I told you my story I would begin with a little blonde headed girl growing up in the sticks of Kentucky. My life was filled with fishing on the banks of the pond with my dad, night fishing off the dam and listening to the water lap the boat. I would tell you of learning to mow the yard (poorly) on a tractor instead of a lawn mower. I would describe cutting up old shirt and tying them to bamboo poles to create something for our rows and rows of beans of vine up.

I would describe hot summer days sitting on the porch with cornbread pans balanced precariously on my lap, fresh green beans in one half and the stringy remnants of them on the other. Big green Tupperware bowls sitting on a table in the middle of me, mom, my dad, and sometimes a random friend that got strung along for the job. I would try and describe the sound of my mom rinsing the beans in the sink over and over again in the sink and the familiar whistle of the canners as they sat on the stove. I would steer clear of the kitchen just in case they exploded on us just like that old lady that lived down the street when my mom was young. Falling asleep to the sound of the lids popping as the seals set filled those summer nights.

I could tell you of the squeak that the back door makes that always alerted me to the fact that we had a visitor on those summer morning when I struggled to wake up. Sometimes it was an uncle or my grandpa. Sometimes it was the old man down the road who visited the bread factory every morning and drove around delivering apple pies, honey buns, and other yummy sweets to all his neighbors in Swiss Colony. I loved waking up to the sound of voices in kitchen and I would go downstairs to find my mom serving coffee and offering to cook a meal for whoever else was sitting at the table.

I would remind you that while my childhood wasn't always problem free, it was about as good as it could get. My parents taught me the value of hard work. We spent hours in the garden, weeding and hoeing and pruning. My favorite part was when my dad would dig for potatoes. No matter how old I got I still loved to watch him turn over the dirt and I would yell "there's one!" each time a yellow, round vegetable would tumble over the shovel. It was a country girls version of hide and seek. I would walk with salt shaker in hand down to the garden when the first tomato reddened on the vine. I didn't worry about fertilizer or insects as I sat eating one after another, juice running down my face.  I would eat grapes off the random grape vine growing in the middle of the yard until my belly ached.

If I could tell you my story, I would tell you that this is just the beginning...



The Best Keto Salad on the Go


The number one key to my success with following the ketogenic way of eating is to always be prepared with back up foods that are delicious and will fill me up without being carb heavy.

My favorite fast food keto salad is a Frisch's Cobb salad. It is full of flavor and by adding extra turkey and bacon it is full of of protein as well.  Since I don't like blue cheese I have them substitute with cheddar and then I add a small amount of their amazing dressing.

This salad is huge, especially with the extra meat! It's such a filling dinner and some times I even have leftovers. This whole salad comes in at just under 15g of carbs so it's perfect for an OMAD lifestyle as well!

What are you favorite fast foods to eat while doing keto? I'm always looking for more things to add to my list of go-to's!


My pink drink is better than yours.


One month ago I would have been chugging down cup after cup of coffee and complaining to everyone I know about how miserable and toxic my body felt. I would have struggled to get out of bed and rushed to get back in it.

One month ago I was 22 lbs heavier and whole lot less confident.

One month ago I was too ashamed to take pictures of me and my husband during a trip we had planned for years to go on.

A month later a lot has changed! I found my face again and I can get my wedding ring off if I need to. I have pants that fit comfortably now and don't cut off the circulation during the day. I don't get as winded walking up the stairs. I have more patience, less brain fog, and more energy and drive to do the things I love. I don't have to nap anymore. My gut health has improved dramatically and I no longer struggle with bloat and gas.

Following the ketogenic lifestyle, exercising 5x a week, and drinking my daily pure therapeutic ketones has drastically improved my life in a way that I can't explain. I'm not entirely sure how I got to the place I was at before but I know that I sure don't want to go back. 

Two pounds of torture


Oh. My. Gosh. Y'all.

About a year ago a friend of mine tried to convince me to start doing barre workouts with her. As much as I loved the idea, it just wasn't realistically possible since the barre was 45 minutes from my house. So instead I joined an online streaming service and decided I would try it at home. I lasted about 3 minutes before I gave up. 3 freaking minutes!

Four weeks ago I discovered that Beachbody had released a Barre Blend workout that combined barre, yoga, and pilates into one workout. The only equipment needed was a sturdy chair and 1-3 lb weights. I decided to try it and see how it compared to the workout I had previously tried.

Game-changer!

4 weeks in and I'm amazed.  The combination of all the movements has sculpted my body in ways I didn't even know was possible. I had no idea that 2 lb weights could feel like 10 or that my legs could be shaking hard enough to level a building but still hold me up at the same time.

I am loving this!!!!
And to top it off there are times that Elise actually has me convinced I'm a ballerina (and that is the furthest thing from the truth!

The workouts go so fast but they are so productive and they WORK!

I am not affiliated with Beachbody in anyway, I just love love love this program. If you would like to find out more information you can find it here. 

Keto Beef Tacos


Taco Tuesday is a thing in our house and while my family is eating their meat and cheese with taco shells and tortillas I am over here whipping up this amazing looking thing! Here is my take on a keto-taco.

Iceberg lettuce
Ground beef (the more fat the better)
Cherry tomatoes
Cheddar cheese
Sour cream
Salsa
Guacamole

Pile it on, roll it up, and devour!!!

My husband has even started enjoying his tacos this way and doesn't touch the tortillas anymore so I would say that's a win.
