The Joneses
We are the Joneses!
Nick + I wanted to start this blog because of the overwhelming interest people have had in my journey with the keto diet. I want to first off say that I am not a professional at this keto way of eating (WOE). I have a very "it works for me" approach to the keto diet and may make some strict ketoers mad by this blog, but....this is my journey and what works for me. I also want to say that I don't have all the answers. I have to research just like everyone else. I don't have it altogether. I am a mom, wife and a business owner and I stay very very busy. I've labeled my Keto WOE approach as "half ass keto" because I don't follow a strict plan. I don't adhere to strict carb guidelines. I eat some ingredients that aren't "keto safe" (according to the strict ketoers). I do what works for me.
I started my keto journey in June 2017 weighing in at over 300lbs! I honestly could not believe the numbers I saw on the scale when I saw them. I wanted to laugh, but mostly cry. I knew things needed to change and only I could change them. I made my mind up that I wanted and needed to do this for me. If I wanted to have a chance at a future with my little boy and my husband, I needed to do this for me. This entire journey has been for me.
I started keto + Plexus and have not been the same since. No, this is not a plug for Plexus, but I know people want to know exactly what I did, what I use, etc. You can find those links on the page "Half Ass Keto Approach".
I began this journey pre-diabetic, with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, high resting heart rate, high liver enzymes, etc. I have since lost close to 100lbs in 12 months, all levels are normal and all vitamin levels are where they're supposed to be. I have about 70 more lbs to lose before I get to my "goal" weight.
I hope that this blog serves you well with recipes, laughs, encouragement and maybe even some motivation!!
Nick is beginning his keto journey with me on January 1st, so stay tuned for his results!
