Wow - stumbled across this blog I started and totally forgot about it.  It has been a tough couple of years losing my husband, moving, starting new job.  And apparently along the way, while I have certainly not been strict with any diet plan, I have lost weight.  Today I am at 204.6 and have the same goal of 175 that I had two years ago.

Just started a 'Biggest Loser' challenge with some co-workers and the contest is about 10 weeks long running from 8/22 to 10/31 so I have re-established my desire to get this weight off.  Back to my go-to Keto.  I actually love low-carb.  I love the way I feel, the food and the extra energy I get when in ketosis.  This time I am combining with some fasting.  Just finished an excellent book by Jason Fung "The Complete guide to Fasting" and for so many reasons there are health benefits from fasting.  I am currently doing a 16 hour a day fast combined with low carb (20 or less is goal).

So it was nice that I came across this blog and will use it to detail my journey!

Speaking of the journey.  I rewarded myself with a ribeye for dinner complete with an herb butter and side of broccoli.  

Today for lunch - my own creation although there are probably a many variety's of this dish.  I took ground beef that was already cooked that I had in the fridge.  Added some chopped onion and some Pace Chunky salsa (not too much) covered with cheese in a single serving casserole dish and put in a convection broil until bubbly hot.  Filling and DELICIOUS!
