Good News is, If I Survive this Week, I Can Practically Conquer the World!

After a lot of research, I decided to finally take the plunge and begin keto. I've lost almost 50lbs through calorie cutting and exercise so far, but I felt the need for something more to continue losing after some health issues came to light last year. I've seen a lot of anecdotal evidence of such triumphs in regards to chronic pain and fatigue management, so I'm feeling cautiously optimistic.

But these first couple days have been no joke. I started my period (cue incessant sugar cravings and total lack of energy), have a damn head cold, and the 'keto flu' has hit me hard. I'm feeling a bit better after drinking broth with Nu-Salt. Tons of water and tea (and therefore the toilet as well, I've never peed so often in my life, lol) have been my constant companion.

But the good news is that having such a rough start will make other future obstacles seem rather minor in comparison. And for the first time in my life, the scale showed a loss DURING my cycle (I know, I know, water weight, but still exciting!).

Anyway, just wanted to say hi and stop being a lurker around here. I've enjoyed reading about all of your celebrations (and struggles too). And you'll definitely be seeing me around more. Cheers! :)
