The first week is well over and done passed! I made it through and dropped 7lbs in my first week 🙂 I know this was probably mostly water weight but oh man does it feel good to watch that scale go down.

I can’t express enough how good the food is and how easy the recipes are. I think that’s why I haven’t thrown in the towel. I am enjoying what I’m eating all day and don’t feel like I’m missing anything.

Like I just made lemon blueberry scones, guys and even the kids are eating them (I know mind blown!!!)

Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day. I used to not really be a breakfast eater, just coffee and I would end up eating lunch at like 10:30 in the morning, get home to start my mom running around at 3 and be starving! Then at dinner I would over eat and then head straight to bed. Yup, this is what my day used to look like and what I will never go back to! I’m learning it’s all about prepping and planning. I know what your thinking, and I don’t have the time either… Believe me I get it, and it’s hard and crazy but over the last week and half I feel like I’ve been learning all kinds of things about myself.

First, never try to prep the whole week in one day (unless you have an entire weekend day to spend doing it then be my guest) but for me I really did not want to spend one of my only two days off cooking all day. I LOVE baking and cooking however not on one of my days off. I found that if I pick a couple things to prep that will hold me over until mid week, then I can come home after work one evening and prep a couple easy things to make it through the rest of the week. Weekends I like to switch things up from the weekdays. Work food is easy and quick, weekends are for indulging and trying new recipes.

Second, I can’t stress enough how logging my food the night before is a complete game changer!!! While I’m eating dinner I figure out what my tomorrow will look like.

I’m not saying I have this all mastered, don’t get me wrong I may be doing great with my food but I did have a beer the other night (I know so not KETO) I’m a beer girl, I love a good hazy!

I already can’t wait to sign up for the next challenge. I love the accountability but I LOVE LOVE the recipes.
