“We do NOT need a hundred and something dollar piece of kitchen equipment! We rarely cook!” I’ve been wrong few times in my life (*insert a massive amount of sarcasm*), but in this instance I have to completely eat my words (pun intended).

So I started my weight loss journey over a year ago because I wasn’t able to fit into a lot of my clothing and I refuse to waste money buying the same clothes in a larger size. So I dove into keto and lost 50 lbs. Now I’m being faced with a different problem: A lot of my clothes don’t fit now because they’re too big! Continue reading “The Opposite Problem”
I originally started keto on January 4, 2017. On February 13, 2018 I traveled to Singapore. Almost exactly a year before that I was on my way to Thailand – only 1.5 months into my keto journey and ready to give it all up for 2 weeks to experience this new country.

A month ago I noticed something different in my life: I looked forward to putting on clothes! I’m a full-time pj lover (especially since I started working from home) and usually almost dread getting dressed because previously everything was too tight and uncomfortable including (TMI) my bras and underwear.

I don’t understand people.

I’ve done it. Previously my longest streaks of weight loss were 3-6 months. The only time I went 6 months the last 3 months included a scale yo-yo while I fought my body’s starvation instincts. I lost maybe 5 lbs in those last 3 months.
WOOOOAH! I wasn’t sure I would get here in 2017. I wasn’t sure I would get here at all to be honest. I’ve only seen a 1.3. on the scale two other times in my life: after starving myself for 3 months while living on a boat in the Mediterranean and after starving myself during my first 6 months in the workforce, which I’ve mentioned before.
I’m obsessed with data. I love tracking everything and then looking back and analyzing, optimizing. It basically gives me a high. When I don’t have anything to analyze and optimize I get a little sad and offer my services to friends. That…doesn’t usually go over too well 🙂 . Continue reading “A Love of Data and Weighing Myself”
