Keto Challenge Day Three


Today is not a fair day to talk about the Ketogenic Challenge. It's been a rough day for me.  Spring has sprung, there was pollen of some sort out in force. Combine that with perfumes and other fragrances in the office, and I struggled today with my allergies and asthma.  I didn't have much of an appetite. Come to think about it though, I haven't been hungry since I starting this challenge!  I mean, look at what I came home to tonight! 

This casserole had ground beef, shredded cabbage, Tex-Mex seasoning, and cheese... LOTS of cheese! The food I've been eating for this challenge is amazing.  I am satisfied after each meal , and don't get hungry between meals so I'm not snacking all day long like I used to.

I'll be back tomorrow, and hopefully a bit more chatty!

Keto Challenge Catch-up Days

I REALLY need to work harder to get here to update every day, or at least every other day.  It's harder with each passing day to get caught up. Let me start by telling you about Friday, June 2.  My husband met me when I got off work, as did my oldest children's grandmother, my "mom".  We then headed to my youngest grandson's high school graduation.  The only thing I can tell you about Friday is the day at work was hectic and the evening was full of excitement and, of course, tears. I can't remember exactly what I had to eat that day, but I can tell you my husband and I tried to stick with foods that are allowed on my Keto challenge. Saturday lunch I made a Keto pizza.  OH MY!!! It was so surprisingly good! I was blown away.  Seriously, I felt like I was cheating even though this recipe was right of the challenge itself!  I think that is what has surprised me the most. The food is so good that you feel like you are being "naughty"

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

Day 12

Today many of us are celebrating the Bi-Zen-tennial, the 200th Weekly Challenge by the DIVA. You can see here website at  The Diva . Here is our challenge: This week's challenge is to use your Mac'N'Cheese tangle in a Monotangle. Or in other words, create a tile using ONLY your go-to or favourite tangle. And let's take advantage of the WHOLE tile! No borders! Let's extend from end to end and fill our tiles BURSTING with Tangly JOY! And finally - put the number 200 (big or small) somewhere on your tile. I chose 'Nzeppel..not because it's my go-to tangle, but it's a wonderful new tangle that I learned last week, and it just might end up being one of my go-to tangles in the future! Thanks for stopping by! Check back tomorrow for more.
