Day...5?

I am seriously feeling so great! I've messed up once or twice but it's nothing compared to full out binges I've had before on other diets. I feel less bloated, less grumpy, more energized...just great 😊 . . . TMI // Shark week hit me finally! I haven't had it for 2 months which is never happens because I I have always been regular so I'm glad it's back!

Euphoria?

I am on a ROLL today. In a great mood and being super productive, despite only getting a few hours of sleep last night, and having work today. Usually my posts for this blog are queued and posted a bit late, but I wanted to record this. I'm just felling so great right now and this is a big deal for a girl who had suicidal thoughts maybe two months ago.

Is this the keto-induced euphoria I've heard people speak of? I don't know, but I'm not taking it for granted. :)

Tried pork scratchings for the first time... it's an acquired taste, but I don't hate it. And it's hard to find food that crunchy on keto!

Keto grocery shopping

I ran out of almonds several days ago, just bought myself more and WHOA do they taste super sweet!

Also: pepperoni to make pepperoni chips, the Avalanche sugarfree drinking chocolate that Jasmine and Christabel always mention, and chia seeds to try out yourbrainonketo's pudding recipe :)

BPC

I gotta say, having a bulletproof coffee in the morning makes a huge difference when it comes to hitting macros. Without it, I struggle to keep the fat intake higher than protein.

I make mine with freshly brewed filter coffee (People's Coffee NZ - THE best coffee, hands down!), a few chunks of cocoa butter, spoonful of coconut oil, and a dash of cream - whizzed up in the Magic Bullet. I would love to find some hazelnut extract, I think it would go really well with the cocoa butter!
