#walking weekend

Talk about another kick-ass keto weekend!  

Friday night we went out to Fellini’s to celebrate Kevin officially completing his first year of medical school!!  YAY!  One year down, 10 more to go!  AND my extremely intelligent husband honored ALL of his classes!!  Woohoo!  Way to knock it out of the park!  

Saturday morning we had an appointment and it was SUCH a lovely day outside that I felt like wearing my new favorite dress!!  (which you can find on Torrid HERE). It made me feel soooo happy!  AND I didn’t cover my arms again.  What is happening?!  I had a shrug in my purse just in case I got self conscious but I really liked how the dress looked without it (and the open back is so cute!), so I went with it.  Although, it was super windy downtown and I kept flashing bystanders with my undergarments.  Whoops.  Thankfully I was wearing my undersummers to prevent any thigh chafing.  

After the appointment we went out for a keto-friendly breakfast of omelettes which were delicious (because they used so much butter!  I’m definitely on board with that).  Although, I ordered avocados on my omelette and didn’t get them. RAGE.  I was going to dispute the bill but didn’t feel like conflict so I just paid for it.  

When we got home, I changed clothes and mowed the lawn which desperately needed it.  I can’t believe how much it grew!  After the lawn was done I felt antsy so I went on a walk.  Although, it was now 93 degrees out so I wasn’t moving very fast and didn’t get very far.  I was a sweaty sweaty mess.  Coming home and jumping into a cold shower was delightful, though!  

Dinner last night was more Cali’flour crust pizza!  This time we ate the jalapeno crust which felt floppier than the original but it was tasty!  Although, I put jalapenos on my pizza so my mouth was basically on fire by the end of dinner.  

I woke up this morning, excited to weigh in after my great day of eating and super productive day only to find I weighed in at the exact same weight as the day before.  Since I still had over two hours before I could eat (thanks IF) I proceeded to go on a 4 mile walk.  Thankfully, the weather dropped and it was a glorious 73 degrees out.  I can’t believe how much faster I walked compared to the day before.  Despite my phone only having 20% battery life I was able to have Runkeeper running and my Pandora station, “Show Me How to Burlesque” playing keeping me motivated.  I’m proud to say that by the end of the walk Runkeeper declared that this was my fastest walk in the 2-5 mile range!  YEAH!  

Unfortunately, when I got home I felt super lightheaded and thought I was going to faint.  BUT, I didn’t!  I weighed myself after the walk and I weighed in two pounds lower HUZZAH!  Breakfast was the famous @zerocarb and @lizzielosing inspired Keto Chow pancake!!  It was super dense, as they said it would be, but really tasty!  I ate mine with cream cheese but next time think I want to go more traditional pancake and eat it with almond butter and sugar free syrup.  

I have no idea what to make for dinner tonight, might just go pizza again...  Then I think I might go on another walk after dinner to continue to soak up this great weather.  

Btw, I am now under my end of May goal of weighing 230.  Fingers crossed it sticks!

Hope your weekend was pleasant!  

This weekend was full of long walks, pouring rain, avocados and lots of sleep.  Wish every weekend was this great!  

Saturday morning I surprised myself by watching the Royal Wedding then made the most simple but delicious breakfast of bacon, avocado and eggs with Kerry Gold butter.  This was my first time using/tasting this butter and man, it was decadent.  I tried to make my eggs like Gordon Ramsay does and I think I did pretty well!  

After breakfast I went out for a long walk, even though the sky was ominous, and ended up with a 4.43 mile walk!  The skies decided to unload on me and I got full-on completely soaked to the bone.  It rained so much there was flooding in the roads and I was trudging through ankle-deep water at some points trying to get home.  It was SO.MUCH.FUN.  Love the east coast for it’s warm rains!

Saturday night I ended up falling asleep on the couch at 6:30 p.m. (!!!) and then climbed up to bed at 10:30 and slept until 6:45 a.m. the next morning.  Man, did I feel refreshed on Sunday!  

Sunday I went for another 4.43 mile walk but this time no rain.  Kind of disappointed tbh.  Although, my shoes are still drying out so I guess it’s a good thing it didn’t rain again.  

We tried another Keto Krate item - Palmini | Hearts of Palm Pasta Linguine and it was delicious!  We even liked it better than shirataki noodles, which makes sense given that these have 4g of carbs versus zero.  But we were both surprised how much we enjoyed them.
