I haven’t posted in quite some time, I don’t know if it’s because I have felt like I have failed or because I wanted to wait until I could say that I was starting over on this journey. I stopped eating Keto for a few months now because I wanted to get my cholesterol under control and honesty I felt so sick. I knew something was feeling way off. I have been back and forth to the doctors office in the past few months. I have had my labs taken a couple of times to which I have learned that I am low vitamin b12 and anemic now. The fatigue set in a few months ago. I have also gone to a nerve specialist for shock treatment literally. That was uncomfortable. Reason for this is because my arms feel numb like pins and needles, still no answers but I keep pushing. You missed me turning the big 40 back in October!! Wow, yeah, I should have come on here sooner.

Besides all of these things, I have started my Invisalign journey!! More on that later if you would like a review! **few teeth pulled and some life adjustments.
So, as many of you know, when you quit Keto and start eating carbs, you gain weight. I haven’t gained all of my weight back but enough to know that I must be more conscious about what I am eating. I am currently 142 lbs, I had gotten down to 127lbs and quite honestly, I AM NOT mad or depressed about it. I know that I can start low carb at any time. I say low carb because that will be my lifestyle, plus exercise this time. Yes, I am getting back on the wagon! I don’t want to disappoint anyone but at the same time, I AM doing this for me. Your journey is yours and noone else’s.

My plan as it was before, more greens, more white meat and more vitamin supplements. Dr’s orders. I need to lower my red meat intake per my cardiologist. I want to be healthy and keep my heart strong. It’s obvious that our metabolism slows as we age so I feel that I am having to work twice as hard now. I know that I have given a lot of excuses as to why I fell off the wagon but if my head space is not in it, I just won’t do it. But now is the time. The first time I decided to do keto/low carb, I did it cold turkey during the holidays….here we go again.
If you have fallen off the wagon like I have and you do not know where to start, start by taking baby steps. You know you can do this!!! Thank you for reading my blog! I will be coming back with some book reviews, this lifestyle journey and my invisalign review/personal journey. Stay tuned! Please let me know in the comments, what you have been up to!!
I’m trying to get back on as well. That 40 is hitting me hard & it shouldn’t be. 40 is still young.
