https://ift.tt/2OylDYk If this link doesn't work, someone please tell me how to not be an idiot😁Oh hey strangers! Figure it's been about a month since my last update and I would drop in and say heyyyyy!! My flair is current, which means I am FORTY FRICKIN THREE pounds down from starting weight. Y'all I am 2/3 of the way to my first soft goal of 170.I'm not always perfect. I tend to track hardcore on work days and then kind of slack off on my days off. But it's working (for now!). Yesterday I saw an old saved video on my phone, captured via my doorbell camera. Dudes.....I was MASSIVE. So I saved some screen shots from it so I could make comparison pics from then (summer some time), to today....like 20 minutes ago (hopefully attached correctly to this post).Had a few bumps with a nasty coworker, she was getting to me for a minute there with snide and outright rude ass comments....but I had this little come to jesus moment with myself and managed to brush it off. I basically just pretend she doesn't exist anymore in my world and it's going great lol. As I said to someone else, I don't have enough hands to hold a grudge, and damn if I haven't been a lot happier since I hit that point.My family members seem to have come around to what I'm doing as well. They now congratulate milestones instead of say shitty things. My mom has been a damn rock from the start for me. I see her about once a week and she always does her best to make keto friendly stuff for me when I go to her place. She also always comments how my pants are looking looser and looser, I take that all with a grain of salt because....well, moms lol. She thinks the sun shines out her kids asses and is the best cheerleader.I also applied for a promotion at work, I'm up against 2 others and nervous af. The interviews will probably take place next week. I've been on the verge of puking since I clicked submit on that application, thanks anxiety!I can't believe some days that I'm 6 months into this lifestyle. It feels so normal, natural. Like this is just what I'm supposed to do. Grocery shopping is cheaper, food prep day is full of music and kitchen dancing instead of dread and confusion. My keto bible binder is filling out quite a bit (I write up and save all of my tried and trues in there, tucked in plastic protector sheets for spill safety in the kitchen!).The only frustrating/bad thing has my damn period. That motherfucker. I swear. I basically have a full blown cycle every 2-2.5 weeks (buy stock in tampax y'all!!), birth control be damned. As covered in many areas, rapid fat loss can mess with a woman's cycle, and my cycle has never been my friend to begin with, so this is honestly not surprising. Just hella annoying. Doctor and I both just 🤷♀️🤷♀️ at my last appointment about it. All my tests are normal so it's nothing to fret about. I just make sure to keep up on my iron intake because I can definitely tell when I don't.I seem to have hooked a few coworkers into trying keto without actually talking about it. I always get the "oh my god what smells so good in here!" while eating in the break room and it leads to a few questions from them and answers from me. 3 so far I know of are now on the wagon and they update me when we see each other. Proud of them for giving it a shot and always happy to chat about recipes and what I've made for the week.I also really just want to say hi to everyone, you're doing great and I'm proud of you for being here and sticking to it! The genuine care I see in this sub is wonderful, applause for victories, you can do its for the struggles, and always a KCKO for the masses! Always such a wealth of info and ideas here, even when the love is tough....it's still love!So hi, I'm doing well. Drink your water, track your macs, and get those electrolytes (that's how I say I love you). Later gangsters 💚 via /r/keto https://ift.tt/2ujNWmD
