Keto Week 5 Menu

Confession time: I was basically off plan all week. The least of my crimes was wiping out an entire mango.The worst of my crimes was eating pizza twice AND Chinese food AND Mexican food. If you noticed me not posting this week, it was because I was so, so, so very off plan. I allowed…

Working out in the thick of life

I hate working out. Not like, it's the worst thing I have ever done, but like.... having to scrub the toilet. It has to be done but I don't love it. However, it is so, so, so good for you and something that is recommended for all people. But it doesn't come naturally to me...…
