Oooooo tell us about vegan keto por favor!

Vegan Keto=meal prep being an extreme sport.

After having surgery I became one of the pickiest eats. I mean food going bad because I was still trying to eat all the food I use to like and it was making me sick.

So I stopped eating pork beef turkey and chicken. Didn’t really phase me.

I was eating fish from time to time but most times I wasn’t. Again food going bad. Because on Monday fish sounded like a good idea but by Tuesday night I didn’t even want to look at it.

So naturally I was just like fine just go vegetarian. But most vegetarian dishes that are easy to make are full of carbs. I started looking in to keto fast forward I’m here.

What do I eat?
Avocados made in a million ways
Chia puddings
A plethora of vegetables.
Jack fruit
Flaxseeds
Nuts
Berries
Sunwarrior protein powder
I make everything.

We weight the exact same down to the ounces

Lol, I was about to comment on that as well.

Time? I simply am envious since I now imagine a super organized Bad Wolf kitchen. By last night I worked 12 hours, cooked tuna steaks - those big juicy ones on the grill -served atop spinach, baked a flourless almond cake for a dinner tonight and prepped an egg casserole for the spouse to have today and then I collapsed. Now I have visions of Bad Wolf kitchen as an assembly line of precision and efficiency while I have dishes in my sink and I head to work... Go extreme sport called life

ditto.

#7. Check

15 lunges & 40 sec plank check.

Not gonna lie.... I’ve already blown #7.
Got up early to finish my gardening that the rain interrupted yesterday, about to head off to Pilates, then it’s start doing the prep work for painting my guest bedroom.

Maybe one day this month I can find a do nothing day and sub it out

7. It's really hard to do nothing for an entire day! I still have to do my chores. Ok, so I did the plank. Had to break it up into two parts. Turtle, one of my dogs, thought he should put his face in my face while I was doing it. Lunges were also accomplished.

The entire day? My nothing was watching a really insipid Hallmark movie. I’m still counting it, my brain was numb the entire time.

This weekend

6. I didn't bake cookies but I did do some healthy meal prep for the week which has included egg white muffins for on the go breakfasts and naked enchiladas (enchiladas without tortillas).

7. I failed at doing nothing but had a lovely day. I did laundry and cleaned a bit before going to a birthday brunch for a friend where I was able to make smart food choices. Doing my lunges and plank before going for a run.

That sounds like a COMPLETELY AWESOME day!!!!

Day 7 - do nothing.

Well other than going to church this morning and some food prep for my family (spicy egg salad for my daughter, steak marinating for tacos tonight, all the appropriate veggies for said tacos, and black bean salad), I haven't done much. My pre-OP diet is kicking my butt the last couple of days, but I'm getting through.

I’m in!
Starting weight: 211.6.
Goal: lose 12 pounds so I can FINALLY be in ONEderland!
Surgery: VSG on 2/6/2019.

I hear ya. U will get there!

April 7th:

Do nothing ✅
