Our Keto Journey - Day 54

Day 54 – 

My morning started with an early doctor’s appointment for my annual physical and I was so pleased to be able to tell my doctor that I have lost at least 15 pounds so far in the past two months.  My weight does fluctuate from day to day and I know that our splurge for my birthday set me back a pound or two, but I could tell my doctor was impressed when I shared what I had been doing. I will be getting some blood work tomorrow and I will be very interested to see if there are any challenges related to our Keto diet, but I don’t think there will be. I really do feel good overall and I know I am getting in shape. 

When I got home I made myself a simple salad with some lettuce and then I got really busy with work for the rest of the afternoon. 

When Peter got home we both started working on dinner. Peter made himself a steak with a big bunch of sautéed mushrooms and a pile of spinach. 

I decided to try a recipe for shrimp zucchini noodles I found on a Keto Facebook group. My recipe didn’t have any actual amounts so I had to guess, but oh my goodness it was good. 

Here is the recipe:Shrimp zucchini noodles 

Fast and tasty! Sizzle shrimp with garlic and bacon; add heavy cream, Parmesan, salt and pepper to taste. When the sauce starts to get creamy, add spinach and zucchini noodles! Cook it for 1 min and that’s it!

I ate half and I saved the other half for tomorrow. 

It really is fun trying different recipes and there are so many great Keto options to try.
