#ketoer

Happy Tuesday Tumblr!  I’m happy back at home in my life on the east coast and was greeted by thick wet air as soon as we exited the airport.  Surprisingly, I didn’t hate it.  Weird.  

Above, you’ll see the meal I had in Chicago during our layover on Sunday - a “Jumbo Char Dog Chicago Style” but I gave the bun to Kevin and just ate the meat and toppings.  I also grabbed this chicken ceasar salad that was better than anticipated.  I was most nervous about staying keto while at airports during this trip since I normally start going off-diet as soon as I enter an airport and grab tasty snacks at the stores and restaurants (usually some trail mix loaded with chocolate or chocolate covered pretzels) so I’m really proud that I was able to stay on track so well.  

I was hungry when I got home from the airport around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday and since I was tired of eggs and we didn’t have much else in the house, I made myself a wrap.  I know I said I wasn’t going to eat any more low-carb tortillas until I weighed in but I had a weak moment.  

After work yesterday I went to the grocery store to load up the house with some food and for dinner we ate deconstructed BLTs on Bibb lettuce (which I forgot to grab until I was already checking out so I put all my groceries in my trunk and went back in for it).  I always forget how tasty these suckers are!

As soon as I stopped eating dinner I threw on some work-out clothes and hit the streets for a walk.  It was later than normal but since the sun has been setting around 8:30 p.m. I figured it was a-okay.  My stomach started hurting so I turned around earlier than normal and ended up with only a 2.75 mile walk.  It was also one of the slowest paces I’ve had in awhile because I kept getting distracted!!  Sooooo many picturesque views I had to document as well as all the FIREFLIES!  I swear, I sent Kevin over 10 Snapchats on this walk, half of which he couldn’t even see because it was too light out.  I even went down a few random roads because they were dark and I saw fireflies in the distance.  Probably not the smartest move I’ve ever made to chase bugs in the dark while alone but I was so entranced by them!  As someone who has only seen them once or twice in her life this was seriously extremely exciting!  Definitely going to try and take a walk tonight even later so I can see them again!!
