Friday's had been just for beauty, but I often felt stumped instead of inspired. Since I feel like my health is closely related to how beautiful I feel I am making this an either/ or day.
For those of you who didn't catch my BRIEFLY mentioned weightloss blog on face book feel free to check it out.
What am I doing? Well to explain it quickly it's like a hardcore Atkins diet that goes by the name of ketogenic diet. No sugar and less than 20g of carbs per day. If you think that doesn't sound hard go look at any prepackaged food and check the number for carbs.
My body is now burning fat instead of carbs/ sugar for energy. Which is kind of amazing. I can feel a difference when I have cheats. I'm exhausted and even need to sleep longer. Now instead of munching on candy bars I grab a handful of almonds. I end up cooking almost all my food, which usually makes it more healthy than opening a wrapper and tossing something in a microwave.
Packing lunches for work has gotten a lot harder.
I'm already down 12lbs! You may see some Baking Sundays that are missing the normal amounts of sugar I would eat.
In truth giving up sugar is SO much harder than giving up carbs. I fight cravings with low sugar, organic peanut butter and dark chocolate.

I'm so proud of you for making such great progress on your weight loss goal! 12 pounds is a HUGE accomplishment! I think the best thing about your experience with Keto is that it's enlightened you to how important variety and balance is when it comes to your diet. You're an inspiration! Keep it up, girlfrand!
