Keto Day 1

Every year I make a New Year's Resolution to lose weight.  This year, I'm going to give Keto a try.  I'm not normally one to jump on the latest fad diet bandwagon--I usually prefer to just eat healthy, eat less and exercise, and that has worked for me in the past--but I am just such a huge carb and sugar addict and I need to do something to get that under control.  I will admit right up front though, that I am probably going to half-ass it and not follow it super strictly, but I'm ok with that.  If I only lose 5 or 6 pounds in a month instead of 25 or 30, I don't really care!  I'll take it!  So really, I'm shooting for a low-carb "Keto-ish" plan, and will just try to do the best I can.

So here is what I ate today:

Breakfast:  2 scrambled eggs, 3 strips of bacon, coffee with heavy cream (we were out of half and half)

Lunch :  Nothing.  Breakfast was at 11:30ish so didn't need lunch

Snack 1:  1 or 2 ounces (not sure) of cheddar cheese

Snack 2:  about 10 smokehouse almonds

Dinner:  Italian-style meatballs from Costco, riced cauliflower and broccoli

Snack 3:  barely counts--a tiny little bite of Lily's sugar-free chocolate

I'm a little worried, because that all added up to about 20 net grams of carbs, and I didn't even eat lunch!  But it's my first day.  It will take a little while to get in a groove and figure out good menus and what all works.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
