Keto Challenge Day Two


Most days right now will begin with a couple of eggs, scrambled or fried, maybe some bacon, so I won't waste your time by repeating the same thing every day. I'll only talk about breakfast if it's something other than a couple of eggs.

 And lunch is usually leftovers from the night before, which meant that today's lunch was leftover salmon and spinach from last night's supper. OH MY!!! In case you were wondering, the salmon leftovers were just as yummy as the salmon we had for supper yesterday.

 That's one of the really nice things about this 14 day challenge. You cook enough for dinner that there will be leftovers for the following day's lunch. I don't have to plan my lunch, or prepare something separate. I just put the leftovers in a container and take it to work with me the next day!

 The ease of the program and the deliciousness of the food so far mean that I am not struggling to follow the menu plan. Not to mention the fact that it's already working!  My weight on Sunday was 181.2, and this morning the scale read 178.2!  I weighed myself 3 times just to make sure!!!

 Tonight when I got home, my husband had prepared the next recipe and it was so amazing that I forgot to take a picture of my plate. I DID take a picture of the leftovers that I packed for lunch. Tonight was a chicken casserole dish with black olives, garlic, pesto, heavy cream.. anyway it was delicious!
Oh, and I've been doing some research.  From what I read today, the Ketogenic Diet has been around since the 1920's and was originally developed by a doctor at the Mayo Clinic.  It was used to treat patients with uncontrolled epileptic seizures!  It fell out of common practice in the 1940's when new, more effect medications were developed to control seizures.

Thanks for stopping by. Won't you let me know you were here? 

Until tomorrow...

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! I hope your 4th of July was SAFE and filled with FUN. First up is my submission for Joey's Weekly Challenge  alphabet challenge. For the letter "D", Joey presented us with Dugwud by Anita Roby-Lavery. This next one is what I submitted for  Adele Bruno's "It's a String Thing" Challenge . This week was to use String #99 with patterns Tearce by Pan Pincha-Wagener, Tracery by Dianne Krumnow, CZT, and Tripoli by Maria Thomas. And then there was the Square One Focus on Munchin This next tile is for   SuzyMosh "That's New To Me" Weekly Challenge.  The random letter this week was "H", for which I chose Ha-Nuka from Yamit Fridman. "H" was a duplicate so we were also challenged to use a pattern by the featured artist Michelle Beauchamp, CZT. I chose her pattern Bradz. I did this on a tan Renaissance tile using Sakura Pigma Micron pens, Sakura White GellyRoll pen, and graphit...

I'm finally back! Hopefully it won't be another month or so before I come here to update.  There's been a lot going on, including a wonderful vacation in Arizona! Maybe more about that later. In the meantime, here's a new tile I just finished. It's for  Diva's Weekly Challenge #218 , where we were challenged to use a white gel pen (I used Gelly Roll by Sakura) on black tile (I used an official Zentangle tile).  The tangles I used for this are Mooka and Zinger. I thought maybe that was a little too simple, so I've changed it a bit. Which one do you prefer, the original or this one? And here is black on white! Black Pigma Micron on white 3.5 x 3.5 Zentangle tile. Lightly shaded with regular graphite #2 pencil. And here again I used Mooka and Zinger. Also, some of you know that I also make jewelry. I have entered a contest to win a book about making Vintage style Jewelry . Wish me luck! I'll be back in a couple days w...

As we get ready to say goodbye to August and hello to September, I am still struggling with finding enough time for all the different things I enjoy doing. There just are not enough hours in the day, and the fact that I am working 6 days a week right now doesn't help.  But I believe that in time I will be back on track and spending time with more of the things I enjoy: zentangles, watercolour, making jewelry, crotchet, reading.... That being said, I begin this post with another entry in  Joey's Weekly Challenge. This past week was the letter "L", and Joey had us play with the tangle LinQ by Lara Williams, CZT. I've never done this tangle before and I really enjoyed it! I think I'll be using this one more in the future... such fun, with lots of possibilities for variations! This next one is for letter "M", a pattern called Maryhill, by Betsy Wilson, CZT. Off to see if I can squeeze out more creative projects before I head ba...
