Jen's Keto Journey.

Hey all! I know I've been MIA...but I'll be back posting dinners soon. Just had a surgery a week ago today...came out with more incisions than expected... while I am no longer on keto because of my health...I still do one keto meal a day because it's so yummy. I hit a milestone this morning. I am now 189...I'm in the 180s! Showing a few incisions and progress in one picture...I know...I need to tone. ☺️

Hi everyone... I haven't been strict with keto... But my dinners do include a keto meal. I have been eating low carb... So there's not too much of an effect on my kidneys. This week I only lost 2 lbs...but at least I didn't gain. I still want to continue this journey. I am now at 196 lbs...and I hope to be able to report more weight loss next week. I've avoided posting my progress pictures because of my tube. But I realized...it's now a part of me and it's going to be something I look back on and say...yes...I overcame that! Soooo...here is the picture of my progress. Thank you all that have supported me. Love you all!

Brunch...😋

Put Shredded cheese in your pan. Add egg when cheese is a light golden brown...flip when egg whites are cooked keep on low heat for a few minutes... And enjoy!

Alright...I will not be eating asparagus until my nephrostomy tube is removed...😳

Chicken curry and asparagus...

Being on keto is about modifying what the family is eating...I mean...I do it anyways...☺️😋

Hello...sorry I've been MIA...but tonight's dinner...😋

Only 3 lbs lost this week... But I'm looking forward to better results next Monday...week 1 vs week 4... And no... I'm not ready for that bathing suit. 10 more pounds... And I will buy myself a bathing suit!

Okay...as embarrassing as this is to do... Those of you following my keto journey are my motivation. I'm going to break down my weight loss...

Monday... June 29th... I started my keto diet at 222 lbs... One week in... I lost 13 lb... Taking me to 209. this is when I set my 10 lb goal... Saying that I would buy myself a bathing suit if I lost 10 lbs. I mean... That's taking me under 200 lb that's a big deal right? Anyways... Two weeks in... I lost 5 lb taking me to 204 That's when I learned that the first week is when you lose the most... 3rd week... I was confident I got under 200 lbs... Sadly I only lost 4 pounds. Taking me to an even 200 lb. And bringing me to today's 4 week weigh in... I lost 3 lb. I am officially under 200 lb and weigh 197. When I saw that number... I told myself... I still need to lose more before I get into a bathing suit.

Welp... There's my 4 week run down... I hope you all are doing well and thank you for your support!

I have yet to sleep...and this time it's my kidneys keeping me up. I was hoping to get some rest to get started with my exercise tomorrow... Wait... Today. Today is my 4 week weigh in... This may be a lil late since I'll probably be sleeping. Anyways... I'm so excited for my new workout plans. Don't laugh at me...but I bought Wii fit. Omg...I love the workout I used to get from it... I don't feel as though I lost much this past week...and it's not because I've done anything different. I guess it's normal to plateau... But now that I'm planning on working out daily... I'm hoping to see better results by next Monday.

Dinner tonight was so yummy! Tilapia with a side of sauteed cabbage and mushroom... And some stuffed jalapenos 😋

Anyone on keto get sleeplessness? I can't sleep... I'm just laying in bed... Exercising 😳

Dinner tonight... Steak Curry and some steamed vegetables 😋

Don't tell my bestie... I've found a new best friend. Even when I'm watching TV... Or just laying in bed...I get my body moving. It's worked out my legs...tummy and arms...I love it! ( Not as much as I love my bestie though 🤫)

I tried working out last week and had too much pain in my knees. today I went to the 99... And found these. They make it so much easier. My goal... Make use of them everyday.

I give these an 8 out of 10... Definitely prefer the cheese wraps... But they were still good. Chorizo and eggs avocado and sour cream... Oh! And pepper jack cheese.

Welp...here goes nothing. Gonna try the egg wraps...

Today's dinner was just meh. It's my fault. I decided to get a burger from the local burger place... No bread... Extra lettuce... Extra pickles...just gonna stick to making my own food. 😣

Sorry all...forgot to post a picture before taking a bite. Today's lunch I used a cheese wrap... Chopped up my leftover meatballs that were seasoned with salt pepper and garlic... Added some avocado and sour cream... So yummy!

Okay everyone...2 weeks ago I said I'd buy a bathing suit after I lost 10 more lbs. Welp..last week I lost 5 lbs. This week..........I only lost 4! 😣 So...still no bathing suit for me. However. The transformation in just 3 weeks is crazy...and this is a picture of me at Daniel's graduation on June 4th (25 days before the start of my keto journey.)...And a picture of me in the same shirt.

Tomorrow is my week 3 weigh in. 😳

Absolutely amazing... Tomorrow I try the cauliflower egg wraps...

My new keto find... Cheese wraps! Easy to use... You can microwave them for a minute and a half... And mold them into a shape of a bowl!

Fresh green beans stir fried with mushroom and shrimp...

Never been a big fan of asparagus... But adding pepper jack cheese and bacon... Amazing!

Simple dinner tonight. Stopped at a taco truck for a plate of carne asada... Came home... Addded cheese avocado and salsa. 😋

Not too hungry for dinner... But since the family had McDonalds... I just made a little something.

Tilapia... Streamed broccoli... Cauliflower rice and stuffed jalapeno

Parm garlic chicken with green bean mushroom chicken...
