Kids went back to school today! I have been off of Keto for awhile but plan to ease back into it. I really need to stop with the lattes & cappuccinos & frappuccino, oh my!
This fall-ish weather just brings out my inner Starbucks persona😂

This school year is going to be really hectic between taking the kids to & from school and I also take my 4yo to therapy in the morning & preschool in the afternoon. She will need to eat lunch in the car in between therapy & preschool.
The kids also have gymnastics & soccer practice in the afternoons. I know I'm going to end up kicking myself for this, but I also signed the kids & I up for Family Olympics every Wed. I thought it would be a great way we could get in some physical activity all together. I can hear the kids complaining now!!!😑

I have Quest Bars stockpiled in my car for a quick meal on the go.
I can do this! ☺️
190.2 lb Lost so far: 26.8 lb.    Still to go: 35.2 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

You are a Champion! Mothering is a very hard job. For me it was over before I was ready for it to be over. Now, when I look back I wonder how I did everything...or the kids did everything. I both envy you and feel for you the exhaustion. And look at you...Miss...only 13.2 lbs left to go! Whew hooo! KCKO!

You've got this! And you know all about the keto answers to autumn lattes. :-)

Hey Champ. You crossed over to Onederland back in June and you've stayed there. Proud of you!

Girl, I hear you on the coffee!! I have been doing really well making my own pot, then blending in heavy whipping cream and coconut oil which I love. HOWEVER, I went by McD's and saw the pumpkin spice latte was back! NO!!! I have had 2 maybe 3 small ones already! I found a recipe to make my own. I'll have to try it because I can't do that sugar.

@judyrose1997 "The days are long, but the years are short." I try to keep this in mind when things get crazy but it's easier said than done. I bet you were an amazing mom! How many kids do you have? @T8U9 I need a keto Chicken & Dumpling recipe to go along with with my lattes ☺️ @glen you are right! I see a mani/ pedi in my future lol @chesgreen thanks for pointing that out! Its easy to forget how far we come sometimes!

Ok, you have to try the Atkins Mocha Latte Shakes! Put them in the freezer for a couple of hours until slushee. Tastes just like McDonalds Mocha Latte!!! Highly addictive. Especially with only 3 net carbs!💪🏻

Mom was the hardest job I ever loved. Wouldn't change a minute of it, but I remember wondering what to do with myself when they were pretty much all growed up. It was exhausting!

Chicken and dumplings, give me a minute or hundreds. Just bought glucomannan powder (konjac root flour) as possible ingredient toward low-carb sticky rice, but it's more likely to work in a dumpling direction, so I'll keep you in mind. Meanwhile, "If a woman's place is in the home, why am I always in the car?" Your kids are very lucky people.

I envy you and am exhausted for you! 🙇🏻‍♀️I miss my kids as small ones and helping with homework and listening to their questions... but the fights? Never! 🙅🏻I wouldn't trade it for my memories and reading and editing their college term papers and discussing what they think. 🤷🏻‍♀️Good luck with your busy schedule and think healthy water and snacks for the kids too! You'll be a happier mom. They may grumble, but they will have less sugar personality to share! LOL 🙋🏻You've got lucky kids with a caring mom!
