The holidays always become a difficult time. Holiday get togethers and all the food. Few items are actually keto friendly. Work in not much better, seems like someone is always brining something that looks and smells wonderful. I have been doing fairly well resisting all the temptation. I have now lost a total of 9lbs, […]
Well it has been awhile since the last blog post. Life has gotten a little busier. Work is no longer having us work remotely. That takes another 2-3 hours out of my day. On a side note Katie and I have almost finished painting the inside of the house. It has been four weekends of […]
We are on hiatus this week. I have a business trip that I must attend. Hope you all have a great week. Keep getting things done! See you next week on October 26th.
Carnivore/Keto can be life changing for type 2 diabetics. We tried the ketogenic eating two years ago as a diet. My wife was able to totally get off all her diabetes prescription medication.

Major setback this week. We had to rearrange what bills were paid. As well as push back some to the next pay period. The first thing that you should think about is a little bit of savings to help keep the budget on track. Ours’ was not quite enough to get us through all the […]
We try not to force our eating habits on those around us. For example, we go to bible study every Tuesday. Everyone rotates preparing food. Some weeks are difficult to stay on target. So I try to make the best choices possible. Some of the decisions go from carnivore to keto and others are just […]
We accomplished a few things this week. Mainly just cleanup projects. We cleaned the back porch, so we would be able to enjoy the space with the cooler weather to come. Put away all the power and hand tools that I had used on the initial chicken coop build and the hydroponic setup. I just […]
