Hi all ........ I've not been posting much (or at all!) for quite a while, as I've been trying to work on a few personal issues. Issue #1 - I've been 3 weeks sober. I know I've gone thru this "give up the vodka" thing before, and I'm not saying this could be IT for …
Egg roll in a bowl — Keto goodness
I've heard a lot about that Keto mainstay Egg Roll in a Bowl, but had yet to make it. Until last night. O. MY. GOD. It's one of the easiest and delish recipes I've ever made. I used the super-simple recipe from https://www.bunsinmyoven.com/sausage-egg-roll-in-a-bowl/ (which is where the photo above came from) and WOW. People aren't …
Oh Keto, how I’ve strayed …

Wheat belly – it’s real
I've been living a (mostly) Ketogenic lifestyle since April of 2016 and have had relatively few adverse effects.

Well, that …

I've spent months, well, almost a year now, drinking martinis, eating key lime pie on vacation, eating small amounts of "forbidden" things like bread and potatoes, and, basically, derailing my Keto success from 2016. After my latest checkup, which showed increased BP, increased A1C, and elevated cholesterol numbers, I've gotten back on the Keto bandwagon …
Back to Strict
My lunch today. My diet has sucked BIG TIME lately ... potatoes (gasp!), wine, a 1/2 BLT (holy shit ... BREAD!!), and who the fuck knew that 1 peppermint would contain 5 g of carbs ????? ..... and more martinis than anyone should drink. God knows what my numbers will be when I go for …
Keto works …
I started eating a Ketogenic diet about 18 months ago and, while the pounds have stopped coming off (I have NOT been diligent for quite some time...) the inches are still going away ... The bottom center and bottom right are the same shirt (taken today) as the top left. It's pretty amazing to see …
13 months on Keto …
I started my journey to become healthier back in 2015 by joining the Fit Fatties group and completing a dozen different challenges, including doing a 5K, a 10K, taking the stairs, and more. My highest weight, back in April of 2013, was 230 lbs. It gags me to put this out there, but here is …
