Back on the keto train

Last week i was pretty bad at this keto thing. I was making the right foods but snacking was killing me. Too many strawberries and cherries. And too many sneaky carbs getting in. I have been doing so much better this week. I've lost half an inch from last week to this week. Maybe a whole inch by sunday. 3 pounds this week already. I think one of the things that is helping is tea. I've been keeping a thermos of tea around. So when i start to get snacky i just drink tea. I know some people swear by bulletproof coffee, but i'm not much of a coffee drinker anymore. And i'm poor. Maybe when my new contract starts and my paychecks are regular i'll try it.

 I managed to avoid a heavy amount of carbs yesterday. It was my parent's 30th anniversary and they went out. And brought back Indian food. with roti. And rice. And i ate only their chicken because chicken is awesome. I wish they had gotten the lamb though, i'm in need of some variety. But hey, i've also got some other good news. My double chin is receding quickly. It's almost non-existent. Soon i will have just one chubby chin. Hopefully i will eventually have an actual jawline. I just hope it isn't Star Jones-ish. I've never been a really skinny person so i don't know how it will turn out. As a kid my face was chubby and as a teen my face was chubby...And i've been informed i look pretty young still. By a teenager. A teen that thinks my friend is like 40 (she's 26) thought i was like, 19. So yay on that, but will that mean my face will always be chubby unless i go full ana? Ugh.

I really want to lose weight faster. And i have been exercising for at least an hour everyday. I don't exercise longer than that partially because i have no energy to and partially because i'm doing it alone. My sister in law was exercising with me but stopped. I didn't mind so much that she quit keto but she quit exercising too. I get the feeling she won't exercise really until something drastic happens like i lose a full 50 pounds or my brother starts to look at other women. She's really good at procrastinating and clinging to the familiar. Familiar foods, familiar routine, etc. And i wouldn't care except i need a workout partner! Don't make me go to craigslist to find one, please.

The worst part of dieting is the cravings. I'm full right now but i'm craving flavour. Not necessarily carbs but i want something tangy right now. Something that is different from my usual meat/salad combo. I guess i'm just bored with my diet. All of my keto friendly deserts are sweet, not tangy. And i don't even have cream cheese. I guess i'll try to do something interesting with sour cream. Catch you later!
