Feeling very proud because I've stuck to my keto-guns. Today I killed it! Went out for a hike, light exercise at the top, drinking a bunch of water, ate a 2 pound lobster, raw oysters, peel and eat shrimp, and made a banging pork shoulder that slow cooked for 12 hours. Many tastey eats, many fun things. God, I hope everyday is like this one.
Wins all around!

I've been "lurking" on reddit, which I'm relatively new to, for a good month. I started this habit on a sub-reddit about weight loss-which I highly reccomend checking out: http://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/search?q=lose+it&sort=relevance&restrict_sr=on&t=all.
That was the gateway. I saw through progress pictures people like me who have no business being on before/after's on info-mercials for TV, just regular human beings who've struggled with their weight, and realistic photos and testimonials. Furthering my path down the reddit rabbit hole, I came upon keto, another sub-reddit. There are thousands of entries, a FAQ that's so lovely, and people online all the time in case I have questions. Just knowing that support is there has helped me leaps and bounds mentally.
I began full-keto a few days back. I'd tried this once before and became discouraged because of other lifestyle preferences I got swept up in-drinking, eating whatever, etc...I shelved it. And here I am, almost 6 years later with some serious weight to drop.
This morning I woke up, slept well, and looked into the mirror. Just a few days in and I can see I'm less bloated (and I just began my period yesterday), I'm happier, I've gone out of my way to make plans with people, I want to continue and push myself. I love it, and yet I just barely recognize this person. I had a burger patty swimming in butter, with butter braised cauliflower over a bed of romaine and balsamic vin. I feel happy, satisfied, full, not wanting to over eat, proud. I'll be drinking tons of water to help myself along. I feel overjoyed that I've made this decision and I'm commited to sticking to it.
I've even told a friend of mine who'll I'll visit tonight that I'm low-carb'n it so I'll bring my own snacks. Trying to have a sense of humor about it makes me feel like less of a weirdo.
I can't wait to see where this takes me.
About damn time.

steady weight

I'm honestly a little afraid to weight myself this week after coming back from Denver. I did pretty well out there-a pastry here and a mild indulgence there, but all things considered it was a pretty easy go of it. Although, when I came back I just gave myself too much leeway in terms of eating whatever-and if there's one thing I have to remember it's not to reward myself with food. It's a little weird and silly, but I had a few interviews lined up, and because I was "so good" in CO, I went out and had a bangin smoked salmon sandwich-which was expensive on all counts. I also ate 2 filet-o-fish sandwiches and some fried after my car was towed the other night on the way home, after a party where I'd had around 5 rum and cokes. These past ten days have rattled my view on success, but I won't let it stop me.
I've had a lot of psychic chains on me for some time-a few self imposed, while others have been put on me, and others in my family, for years now-definitely generations. I know this also sounds weird. Sometimes I feel like I'm the one who has to break out of them and it's fucking daunting. Ha, like Frodo and the Ring: Here's this thing that's wildly destructive and will cause pretty detrimental repercussions through the course of time, and yet he has trouble when he finally arrives at the fires of Mordor. In the nerdiest way possible, that's a good summation of how I feel about a few macro aspects of my life: career, health, and relationships. Tackling them all at once is overwhelming, and I've tried seemingly all angles of support and attack. But I feel now is the time to just persist-no matter what not to give up.
I went to the gym today digging my feet in. I loathe it! And I want to love it. How do I reconcile these feelings? How do I find a career which I enjoy and can be honest with myself in the long run? How do I let people into my heart without grave reservations? How do I muster compassion? I'm not a monster, but I feel myself distancing from the pack that holds me dear-like those chains tightening before their inevitable break. Hopefully this is what I'm feeling. I'm taking them off once and for all for myself and the family I hope to have one day.
