Keto Day 10 of 30

Woke up vaguely headachey and really thirsty today. Apparently, I did not get enough water yesterday. My mood has also been kinda crappy today – not sure if that’s related to diet or other shit, but it’s worth noting.
Breakfast

A repeat of yesterday’s smoothie.

Stomach was unsettled after breakfast again.

Lunch

A repeat from yesterday – only with some leftover chicken from dinner one night.

Was hungry after lunch again – I think I need to add nuts or something with extra crunch to these salads. 

Dinner

Went simple again – broccoli & ground pork with butter and bacon fat.

Snack

2 coconut fat bomb blocks as an afternoon snack.

Extra Snack

Stayed home from an activity I was looking forward to because my mood was in the toilet.

Thought maybe some fat would do me good – had a Tablespoon of sunflower seed butter off the spoon, because let’s face it – that’s all I’m really looking for in a dessert. Screw chocolate – I just want peanut butter.

Nope – you don’t need to go anywhere today. Just cuddles. 


This clingy guy sat like this through shifting, blanket pulling, and computering. 

Keto Day 9 of 30

Today was Ok. Was a bit nauseous after breakfast again, and felt generally like poo – not sure if that was because of anxiety, having to force myself through 3 job interviews when I had the stamina for zero, keto or staying up too late. Probably a combination of all of the above. 
Breakfast

Made a slightly different Keto smoothie – almond milk, spinach, MCT oil, ginger, cilantro & avocado. It’s not my favorite smoothie, but I was ok. I miss my non almond milk-based smoothie.

Lunch

A repeat from yesterday. Ate the last of the rotisserie chicken in a “taco” salad with guac & lime dressing.

Dinner

Another riff on a broccoli bowl. I think brocccoli bowls are going to be my Keto staple – this one was broccoli, pepper, seasoned ground beef, a little tomato paste, some spices & balsamic. 

Of course I forgot to take a pic. I made dinner really early. 
Snack

2 of those coconut Fat Bombs after yoga class.

Keto Day 8 of 30

Had another strangely vivid dream last night – this one was inspired by the book I’m reading – Seven Eves, about the moon breaking up and humanity having to move to the stars. This was a combination anxiety dream and excitement dream.

Vivid dreams are nothing new to me, though I find it curious to note that vivid dreams are reported by keto people as “a thing”.
Breakfast

Keto smoothie with an added half Tablespoon of MCT oil because I forgot to double it when making them.

Post-breakfast I was a bit nauseus and my stomach was really unsettled.

Lunch

Felt better around lunchtime. 2 ounces rotisserie chicken, salad mix, guacamole and an olive oil/lime juice dressing.

Snack

I get to snack today! I had a Hard boiled egg about an hour after lunch to help boost my energy for the afternoon.

Dinner

Pork cutlets & Brussels sprouts cooked in butter and bacon fat.



Snack

1 ounce pepperoni a little after dinner.
Snack

Fat Bombs – the cacao kind.

Keto Day 7 of 30

You guys. I had a dream about discovering sweet potato fries in some sort of taco bowl thing I was eating and om-nom-nomming the shit out of them. I have no idea what this means.

On the other hand, I felt fine today. I struggled a bit with after breakfast and after lunch hunger, but it was mild. Body felt fine. Yay.
Breakfast

Keto smoothie + coffee with almond milk. Was hungry after breakfast, despite adding half a Tablespoon of MCT oil to my smoothie.

Lunch

2 ounces rotisserie chicken, salad greens & tahini.


Dinner

A slightly-modified version of Ruled.me’s Crispy Sesame Beef. Subbed jicama for daikon and dropped the crispiness. Recipe to come, this was delicious.


Snack

Made a new fat bomb – this one is coconut butter, coconut oil & stevia.

Yep. Sharing this picture twice in one day because it’s dark, my body thinks it’s 9:30 (it’s not even close to 9:30) and I have yet to take a picture of the day.

Keto Day 6 of 30

Today was better. It’s the first time we ate out, and I’m happy to say lunch went well.

I still need to work on jiggering my thinking – too little fat and too much protein today has me a little hungry after 2 Tbsp. coconut butter after dinner. 

Breakfast

Coffee with almond milk & a serving of fat bomb.

Lunch

Ate out! Had a classic Cobb salad with grilled chicken and no cheese at SmashBurger. 



Dinner

Dammit. Forgot to take a pic again. Made broccoli & ground beef bowl seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, bacon fat & butter. Delicious. The DH had double meat, double fat & cheese.

Snack

2 Tbsp. Coconut butter & 1 Tbsp. Guacamole while batch cooking.
