My Easter has been mostly spent in bed with these two** and it's been everything.

Sadly, it started off poorly due to waking up with a massive headache thanks to all the crying I did yesterday. I tagged Kevin to make breakfast while I napped then woke up to breakfast in bed with him and erp 😍. Then continued to lounge in bed, napping on and off, the entire rest of the day even once my headache had finally dissipated.

These are my favorite kinds of days and one I haven't had in quite a long time. Hopefully all this extra sleep will help fuel me for the coming week.

Now I'm off to make keto cinnamon rolls thanks to @alohamaura-keto posting that she made them and linking to the Keto Connect recipe. My friendbor was making cinnamon rolls today and I was mad jealous thinking of all the baking and goodies I was missing out on thanks to keto that I completely forgot there are basically keto versions of everything! So excited to see how they turn out!

**We don't co-sleep (no judgement if you do, honestly, I think I'd love it) and I am only comfortable with napping while she's in the bed because Kevin is awake and watching over us both. Which makes this kind of cuddle session even more special since it's so rare for us.

Is it strange how happy getting a new water bottle is making me... It's 2.2l which makes it easier to track my water intake as I'm meant to have 4litres a day💜 Uggggh so happy

Butter chicken and naan.

The chicken is an old favorite..first try at the naan. It was eh. I think I may have messed up with the psyllium husk so idk I might try it again.

Weigh-In-Wednesday

Original Starting Weight (7.10.17):  260

Restart Weight (4.2.18):  245.7

Last Week’s Weight (4.17.19):  205.1

Today’s Weight (4.24.19):  206.1

Total Weight Lost Gained in 1 Week: 1 pound Total Weight Lost in 1 Year:  39.6 pounds Total Weight Lost in 1.75 Years:  53.9 pounds

Given how low my body fat mass is today I’m honestly not concerned about this gain, it’ll sort itself out eventually!  

Meal planning this week is themed!  All meals this week will be from my favorite keto resource, Keto Connect, starting with last night’s smash success of “Low Carb Kung Pao Chicken.”  Upon my first bite I was hooked and really impressed with the complex Asian flavors coming through.  Kevin was positively raving about this dish so it will for sure be going on a repeat recipe list.  

Unfortunately, due to going grocery shopping after work then making this meal, we didn’t finish eating until after 8 p.m. so I decided to spend my energy cleaning up the kitchen and organizing the fridge instead of walking in the dark.  I did make sure to get my bench press in, though!  The sets I’m doing are still challenging but I can’t get over the physical difference I feel in being able to lift something one more rep than I was just four days prior.  

Since volleyball is officially over I decided to be proactive with my exercise tonight and asked my neighbor to play tennis with me!  She said yes!  I’ve probably only played once or twice in my life and that was over 20 years ago so we’ll see how it goes!
