New Year -New determination!

 New Year so perfect time to push this stupid body of mine back into being healthy whether it likes it or not! I lost far too much of 2020 to auto immune challenges from the stress changes due to Covid brought! 

 

Thanks to lockdown the gym is closed so started the day with a nice brisk walk with Paul - the change in temp when we returned caused an asthma attack so took my meds and had a nap cause the steroids make me feel loopy.

 

Powered up with my Keto Nat with MitoPLEX electrolytes added for morning!

 

Had a late lunch of Guacamole inspired tuna salad!

 

And Epicure Tandoori chicken with caulirice veggies for dinner!

 

And later I will enjoy a Caramel Macchiato and Kiss my Keto hot chocolate combo as my evening snack to help balance out my macros for the day!

Adult Gummies


Making some “adult” gummies! Thanks to Lynn over at Healthy Keto Lifestyle community for the recipe inspiration I tweaked it a bit 😝
 

Ingredients 

  • 2 scoops Keto Nat - I used Splash 
  • 1 tbsp Torani Black Cherry (optional I just wanted to compliment the watermelon/grapefruit in the Splash and add some colour to them cause alone they were flesh coloured!
  • 4 tbsp Unflavored Gelatin  
  • To make them “adult” I added 40 mg CBD oil so works out to about .5 mg to each gummy that’s an optional  ingredient too ;) 

Instructions 

  • Melt Keto Nat in 1 cup room temperature water than add 1 cup boiled water (not boiling) 
  • Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine and melt gelatin and mix in oil. 
  • Pour quickly into molds re-stirring as needed to keep gelatin and oil evenly mixed!  
  • Cool in fridge for couple hours until firm and pop out or molds! 

Serving size depends on CBD oil tolerance.

Bon Appetite

Have you heard of Ketones?

Inspired by Lynn after attending one of her Keto 101 cooking classes back before Covid hit I took the 10 Day Challenge just the see if it could help improve my blood sugar  to avoid the pressure from my family dr to take prescriptions and balance some of my inflammation and pain by reducing the sugar/carbs from my diet!

Prüvit 10 Day Drink Ketones Challenge

I am SO HOOKED!

I personally swap this product out for my breakfast cause I have never been  a breakfast eater and always forced myself to eat it cause we are told breakfast is the most important meal of the day - however 'break fast' actually means the first meal you choose to eat after a fast NOT necassrily that you have to eat it the minute you wake up - I personally have choose to do an intermitent fasting window of 18:6. So I have 18 hours of fasting and than a 6 hour window where I eat. I do not eat my first meal until around 3pm and than I have a light snack to hold me over to dinner, dinner and than a light snack while watching movies! Some times I do only the dinner and evening snack. Keytones first thing helps me get my morning off to an energetic start! I also end my day with a Keto Calm tea or a Keto Broth to help promote a good night sleep! Also because they are so packed full of vitamins and minerals i don’t have to choke down a multi vitamin so the savings from that is directed to investing in this!

Coconut Lime Encrusted Salmon

Nom nom ... coconut lime crusted Salmon with Roasted Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower for the dinner win!
Quick and easy 'toss together' recipe! I mixed Unsweetened fine shred coconut with some Stevia powder and lime juice and scooped onto the chicken. Baked at 375F for 30 minutes!

Chopped the cauliflower into bite size pieces and add the garlic and parsley to the extra virgin olive oil and toss to coat the cauliflower and than sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375F for 30 minutes until the cauliflower caramelizes a wee bit!
I knew the girls would be begging when they smelled the salmon so I cooked them up a plain one for a treat! Spoiled kitties! Seriously look at those faces how can you not spoil them just a wee bit?
 Bon Appetite!
