Since re-starting Keto, I have been introduced (via my hubby) to some EXCELLENT podcasts, which I have been listening to at work. These podcasts (particularly 2 Keto Dudes) have not only helped me to stay focused, but have also taught me more of the actual science behind what is happening in my body on this journey toward total health. I listen primarily to 2 Keto Dudes, but will fill in with Livin La Vida Low Carb and Keto Talk with jimmy Moore and the Doc. While taking my lunch break last night, I had an epiphany of sorts: This is a game that I am playing, and my opponent is my UNhealthy body! In order to "WIN" the game, I must know the rules. I am learning the rules via podcast education. I also must have some other parameters (ie, baseline numbers). I mean, how in the world can I truly know where I am going, unless I understand where I have been, right? So, I am scheduling a doctor appointment for a FULL physical, including full blood workup and thyroid panel (since I am Hypothyroid). I have also listened a bit to the YouTube personality Elliot Hulse (who I find to be not only knowledgeable, but actually quite inspiring on an emotional level). Elliot always seems to come back to the idea that you will NEVER fully commit to being "healthy" until you can actually SEE yourself as healthy. This makes a WHOLE lot of sense to me! I have spent time in the past week (daily actually) envisioning what I will look like at my goal, how I will feel, the length and texture of my hair, the clothing I will choose to wear, the activities I will engage in, etc. This "meditation" of sorts has also fueled the fire within me to reach my goal. My husband and I reflected this morning about how we have felt re-starting our Keto journey, and we both agree: it just FEELS right this time! We both liken this feeling to what it was like when we both quit smoking. We had both been smokers for 15+ years (more than a pack a day) and one day, we just looked at each other and said, "enough!" And right then and there, we quit and never looked back! This is how this journey feels!! I can't WAIT to embrace the ups and downs, share successes (and failures) and finally BE the person I know is inside, hiding under a layer of chubbiness! Keep calm and Keto ON!
