My Keto journey begins

Today marks day one of my Keto journey.  I'm in the 'honeymoon' stage for sure.  I'm super excited to leave the crackers, pastas, pototatoes, and all the other bad carbs behind.  I walked on the treadmill for 35 minutes this morning for the first time in a year and a half and it felt so good!  It literally made me happy inside.

I know the day will come when I'll want to eat pancakes and I won't want to walk on the treadmill, and that's when the true challenge will begin.

I weighed in today at 213 pounds.  This is the heaviest I've been since I was pregnant with my 8 year old.   I would have been devastated if I didn't know that number is very temporary.  This is the heaviest I'll ever be.  By pool season, I hope to be down a good 40 pounds.

I've already made one keto mistake.  I love sparkling water and sometimes want some flavor, so I bought a pack of 24 kirkland signature flavored sparkling waters from Costco.  I saw it has 0 calories and automatically thought it was keto friendly.   Since then I've learned surrculos isn't keto friendly, and this sparkling water is sweetened with it.  Now I have 24 bottles of sparkling water I'm afraid to drink.  I need to become better at reading nutritional information before purchasing.

I am a work in progress.

My starting weight is 213 LBS
My final goal weight is 150 LBS.
My first first goal weight is 100 LBS.
