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.

There’s a helicopter there, filming the Marathon.
Keto Day 5 of 30
After last night’s revelation that I just need more fat, expected to be magically awesome today like my jerkface of a husband who feels just peachy.
Apparently the keto flu gods heard me talking smack.
My upper mouth palette has felt fuzzy for 2 days and my upper teeth feel weird. I have no idea if this is related to the keto or I’m a weirdo.
I’m also stuck on slow setting today, and my stomach is vaguely unhappy about life in general.
Hey, but at least I wasn’t starving to death.
Breakfast
Totally forgot to take a picture again. The DH made me scrambled eggs with a little cream and they were magical. Plus the last of the bacon.
Also had my normal coffee with almond milk instead of hitting Starbucks.
Snack
Caved after my haircut and grabbed some macadamia nuts instead of starving to death.
Lunch
Picked up some smoked salmon while grocery shopping – had little cucumber points with horseradish mayo.
Dinner
I wasn’t really hungry for dinner – had more macadamia nuts and a jerky bar while out at a movie with friends.
Briefly considered adding a scoop of protein powder to some bone broth, but was full of liquids.
