There's A Storm A Coming

     Here is a picture of Morty, just because he is the most awesome of awesome dogs.

     He is majestic isn't he. I have been feeling really good physically this week. I think I really like this 24 hour fast every other day thing I'm doing. It gives me a chance to rest my digestive system and also get fed pretty well. My weight is steadily decreasing and I can see my body changing in large ways then the scale is showing. The mirror always tells the truth, well not the truth of a photograph, but always trust the mirror.

     On the fasting days, I normally eat a good sized meal, but it still only amounts to about 1100 calories. Today which is a break fast day I clocked in at 1600 calories. Tomorrow will be another one of the small days prepping for another 24 hours which will lead me into Saturday.

     I did have to make a quick run to the grocery store today to get a couple of things to help out with a little baking project that I had planned. By the way, grocery stores are crazy around here right now with the storm coming. I already have my supplies, since the way I eat, looks like someone that would be surviving after a hurricane. I have plenty of water in jugs and I'm prepped if I have to cook meals on a portable stove that I have. We all good here. Anyway, I found this recipe on the Quest Nutrition website. It used a couple of their products, which are really tasty and keto friendly, and I finally had everything except natural peanut butter. Oh yeah, peanut butter is a hot commodity in hurricane prepping. I did manage to find a jar, and I was set. The recipe is for what they call peanut butter toast. It's more like a peanut butter cake and it is awesome. You crumble up one of their peanut butter cookies, for the topping and bake it for 4 minutes in the oven, then you crumble it like a mad man. After that, you need one of their vanilla milkshake protein powders, that is the base for the recipe, but I'm pretty sure you could use almond flour or a vegan vanilla protein powder to substitute. The almond flower will lower the protein content though. Anyway mix it all up, put it in a pan, then make the spread for the top so that the cookie toppings will have something to stick to and bingo bango, you got yourself some deliciousness.

As I was saying above, if you substitute their powder, the 5 eggs, and the butter with plant based substitutes, and you got a vegan treat as well. I will have to try that at some point. I only need a vegan protein powder, and find the right egg substitute. I think began mayonnaise may do the trick, but I'm not sure. Hellman's makes a really good vegan mayonnaise by the way.

     The only worry I have with this storm coming, is that it is going to be here around the time I have to take Baby Girl Gauge for her heart worm treatment. She is due there on Tuesday, and they are currently saying that the storm could have holdover strong winds through Tuesday. I'm going to call tomorrow and see what the plan is if I can't get there on the day it is supposed to happen.

     Back to storm prepping. I only have to bring in a few chairs, and close the storm shutters which I will do on Saturday. Easy peasy lemon squezzey. I do have to go grocery shopping on Saturday, so I expect that to be a train wreck. I'm only buying mostly fresh vegetables and some monk fruit. Everything else is pretty much covered. Oh, there is one other thing I am worried about. If the power outage lasts longer than a few days, I will have to resort to eating not so keto friendly foods, and I'm not looking forward to that. I take it as a personally affront, that I would have to eat high carb foods. I know it won't kill me, but it will slow down my progress, and I ain't got time for that. I did however buy a brand new Mountain Dew VooDew for when I'm done with my 100 days. That will be my reward for the hard work I put in. Oh, I still plan on doing cardio every morning, and reading, and drinking only water or green tea (and the occasional almond milk). That isn't going to change. I'm getting that 100 days. I don't see failure as an option with this one. It's way too easy a goal not to accomplish.

     Well the RAYS just won, so I'm going to call it a day. I should be able to post something on Sunday but after that I have no idea when I'll be able to post again. I'm going to try to write enough articles for next week, but I probably won't be able to promote them. I'm setting the release times for 3pm New York time on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I do have tomorrow's written, but I need to get a photo taken for it. Its about turmeric, so you don't want to miss that one. I have no idea what to write about for next week though, but I'll figure it out. I don't want to miss a deadline even though I don't have a written in stone deadline yet. I may have self imposed one which is the schedule I outlined above. Peace in and goodnight.


   

My Dogs Are Top Dogs

     I officially resigned from review duty on the TPR today. Bit of a sad thing, but one that had to happen. I will do what I can to edit any video that comes my way, and punch up any review that is written, to try to keep it up to the standard we have set.  I guess we will see how long it will last without me.

     Yesterday was National Dog Day, so I had to post pictures of my two most favoriest dogs in the whole world, Morty and Baby Girl Gauge. Here they are.

     They are the greatest dogs to ever dog. BGG has her next heartworm treatment next week. This is the big one, the one where she has to stay over night, and I'm going to miss her. I'm sure that Morty will as well. 

     I know, I look fat in that photo. Don't worry, I didn't backslide, that is just the camera and weird angles. I am at my lowest weight in probably 25 years, maybe more. I have been steady around the 162 mark, and that is mostly because this week is kind of a chill week with no rules. Still staying Keto, that isn't changing, but I have been alternating days on 24 hour fasts. For example, I'm not fasting tonight, but I will be after a mid-morning meal tomorrow. This is all in that experimental way of eating, until I find exactly what works for me. I love OMAD, but I need to see if there is something better, so far, I'm thinking this isn't a bad way, but not necessarily the best way for me. Which reminds me. I know I am all doubt the Keto life, but that may not be the way that works best for you. I still think you should try it out to see how you feel and make that decision for yourself, but remember, don't diet, change your lifestyle.

     Tomorrow's article is a bit of a cop out. I did a 100 days update. Which still is in lines with the site, but I really should have done some more research on other things that I want to write about. Oh, My review was read by the company I reviewed, and they messaged me and thanked me for the nice things I said. I thanked them back for what they are doing in providing keto friendly snacks that are good quality. I'm hoping to turn this into a brand deal and maybe getting a sample of anything new they put out, so that I can review them before they come out. That would be huge. I'm going to take it slow though, and build up my numbers. I did see a jump in readers for the last blog post, so that is a pretty exciting thing. I should capitalize on that and put out something hard hitting, but finding the time to do that and take care of my mom is not easy. I still have Friday for something a little more impactful.

      Speaking of the blog, I did finally figure out how to hide a link. You know what I do here where I put a link attached to a word instead of a bunch of letters, numbers, and www. It was way easier than I thought it was, and I feel really dopey for not figuring it out earlier, but it is a learn as I go sort of thing.

     I did make it out to the beach today to take my mom to see the sunrise and it was pretty spectacular. I did get some camera shots, but I didn't upload them and play around with them yet, but I did snap one with the phone so I could post it up on Instagram. What do you think.

My mom had a wonderful time out there, and I may try to take her out once a week for that little experience. It seemed to do well with her.

     I have a great one for you tonight. Favorite Song of the Week is a go. This puts two of my favorite genres together into one mighty package of awesomeness. The worlds of funk and metal collide in this mash-up that I discovered today. Just about an hour ago to be honest. The editing that went into this is incredible and I hope you really appreciate how much work it took to put this together. Big round of applause to the creator of this video Bill McClintock, he did an amazing job. I give to you Kool & the Gang and Quiet Riot with "Bang Your Head (It's A Celebration)".

     How fun was that. Ok, have a great rest of your week. I have a ton of things to do with trying to get this website to catch on fire. Peace in and goodnight.

     

It Was Good

     It's been a weekend. I did manage to write a new article for the website, which will be coming out tomorrow at 11 am, so that is taken care of. Well, I did just add the picture to it a few minutes ago, so now it is taken care of.

     I've been looking into ways to save more money and I came up with a gem, and one that is going to lead to some healthier eating. I found out about Butcher Box. I had heard of it for some time, but never looked into it. I crunched the numbers though, and I will save anywhere form $30 to $50 dollars a month on meat now. The added bonus is that I don't have to carry those heavy bags in from the car anymore either. They were running an insane deal that gives you 2lbs of free ground beef for the life of your membership, so that is an add on that I never have to pay extra for. You can choose how your box is filled, but I went with the mixed box. That means that it has beef, pork, and chicken. It came with a 3 lbs roast, four, 4oz top sirloin steaks, 2lbs of ground beef (not the bonus 2 lbs), 3 large chicken breasts, and then I had a bonus one time free add on of 2lbs of Italian Sausage. I am set for meat for the month. All the meat is locally sourced and certified grass fed grass finished.

      I had the top sirloin tonight, and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Very lean cut, and cooked up extremely well. I'm having one of the pork loins tomorrow night and then doing the roast on Tuesday, That roast will last me several meals though, so I'm looking forward to that. The gave me a personal link for people to sign up, and get $30 off your first order. They have several different options for the box, and you can add on extra stuff if you want, but that will cost more. Here is my personal link if you want to check them out Butcher Box If you use that link as I said, you will get $30 off your first box, and I will also get $30 off as well. Don't forget to check into the free 2lbs of ground beef a month for life. It's a real thing, and I'm so excited about that. I love steak and all that, but ground beef is easier on the digestive system, plus tacos. Oh, the article is a review of some keto chips that can be great as a taco shell substitute. Remember a single taco shell has anywhere from 14-22 net carbs. That is nearly your entire daily intake of net carbs right there. Anyway, check that link out if you want to give them a try Here is that steak that I made tonight.

     All I did was salt it, and have broccoli as the side. It was amazing, nothing added except for salt on either of them. I have to admit, steak and broccoli is one of my favorite meals, and I haven't had it in quite some time, because steak just really wasn't in the budget. Oh, I should mention that you can change the frequency of how often you get the packages as well. You start out with every 4 weeks, but you can change that to 5 or 6 if you want. It just depends on how much you can stretch out that much meat. I'm going to see how this one goes, and if I have a bunch of meat left when it is time to ship, I'll delay it by a week or two. In the long run, that is more money saved.

     This seems like an article for the website, so I'll stop now. The dogs are doing great. Baby Girl Gauge, couldn't be better. She is staying calm as per doctors orders, but not without a few incidents that I had to break up before they got out of hand. Puppies love to play, even 7 year old puppies. Her next appointment is the Tuesday after next, and that is going to be the tough one. She has to stay over night for that one, so Me, Morty and the Mom are going to be a little heartbroken that day.

     I plan on taking my mom to see the sunrise this week, if the weather permits it. I'm hoping for Tuesday but right now it says there is an 80 percent chance of rain that day, and that is a follow over from Monday, so the morning could be clouded out. I hope not, I'm hoping to get some good pictures with the camera while I'm there. No reason not to get some double duty out of the morning. It's been a while since I used the camera for anything other than before and after pictures and pizza.

     Speaking of pizza, I did tell my partner that he is pretty much on his own for TPR. I will help out as much as I can by putting together any video that he brings me, and punching up the written review, but he has to write a lot more than what he has been for it to be any good. His pieces usually read like a "What I Did On Summer Vacation" essay that you did in grade school. That is partly my fault because I told him to keep it short, and to the point, but it's all him now. I'll make an announcement on the TPR Facebook page on Tuesday, that is usually when he doesn't post anything, so it won't be buried or bury some other post. Although, it seems that Facebook has been burying my posts lately. My readership on this is down drastically, like one day I didn't get a single reader. I hate relying on Facebook for promotion, because it does have a habit of doing things like this, but I just have to deal and move on. Work smarter not harder right? Not in this case, I gots to work harder.

     I have an idea for the Keto YouTube channel. I was thinking of just starting out with some reviews of different Keto products first. I'm not completely sold on that idea yet, though. The plus is that I can do all that in the house and not worry about having to leave to go anywhere. I can make Keto pizzas and talk about them, eat different Keto friendly bars, or shakes. Stuff like that. It could also be a way to get some free stuff to try if it pans out. That part of why I did the review for tomorrow on the website. If it goes over big, then I can reach out to that company and ask them to send me their new stuff, so I can review it before it's released, or maybe as it's released, either way I win on this one. We'll see. Then channel will also give me a reason to use my camera gear and lights. It could be exciting.

     Ok, I'm out of here. Fear the Walking Dead is almost on, and I want to sit back, relax, and enjoy it before going to bed. Peace in and goodnight.

Is This The End Of An Era

     Just launched the TPR's latest video and blog, so I have no idea how it's doing. It's way to early to tell. That one is in the bag though. I wrote the article for tomorrow on howuketo.com and I'm pretty happy with it, considering that I woke up this morning with no idea what I was going to write about. It's a little help for those of you that want to try intermittent fasting and a few ways you can go with it. They of course have one thing in common, which is eating healthy regardless of which one you are doing. It won't work if you are eating crap food and expecting healthy food results.

     I felt horrible yesterday. It wasn't an illness, it was straight up depression and everything I'm dealing with. I was also 24 hours in on the 36 hour fast, so that wasn't helping things either. I made it through the day, and went to be what I would call early, 9:30 to be exact. I managed to sleep most of the night and wake up around 4:30 and just laid in bed until 6:30. I blew off the gym last night, because I was actually concerned that I might pass out on either the way there or the way home. I was just flat out exhausted, so the best thing to do was get rest. I can workout again soon, the gym is always there.

     Oh, the fast ended up lasting over 38 hours. I can't remember the exact number at this point. I did weigh in the morning of the start of the fast, and this morning, just for giggles. I weighed in at 163 before and then 160.5 after. so I had a loss of 2.5 pounds. That only lasted until I ate, but it lays the foundation for a solid weight loss. I have eaten super healthy during my feeding window today, and wrapped up with just a little over 1000 calories. I wanted a light day today to nail things down, and then jumped right into another 24 hour fast. Tomorrow I'm going protein rich to take care of all those building blocks. I was protein rich today as well, but I limited calorie consumption for the purpose of building on that fasting effect. I'm still staring at that goal of 150 and I will get there, but I won't do it if I sit back and just eat anything.

     Of course, eating anything was never the idea, but I will take a break of intermittent fasting soon, just so my metabolism can reset. The article details how you should do that as well, so that you don't just regain all the weight you just lost. Believe it or not, there is a trick to it. I will be eating somewhat "normal" in about 2 weeks. Normal for me, will still be Keto but with a few meals in a large gap feeding window. After two weeks of that, it will be straight back to intermittent fasting.

     That reminds me, I finally have a date chosen for the next 72 hour fast. I'm going to be doing it on the 27th of October. That will give anyone that wants to do it with me, a chance to get a good healthy prolonged fast in right before you eat all that Halloween candy. I will more than likely start on the 26th, which is a Saturday and go through to Tuesday night, but if I'm feeling froggy, I may just go through to Wednesday morning. If you want to go along with me, I suggest you read tomorrow's post on the website. it will prepare you for a prolonged fast. Trust me, it is much easier to do a longer fast if you have already done some intermittent fasting, so that you know what to expect. This is going to be glorious.

     By the way, I'm just going to put it out there. Please share the website with everyone and anyone. I really do want this to grow, and I'm going to need a lot of help. I've gotten some feedback from people that I know who are checking each post out, and they are loving it, and really like what information that I'm giving them.

    I guess I should share the latest TPR video, so here it is.



      Remember, this could very well be my final video. Still haven't figured anything out yet, so it's looking more and more like it is.

     Well that is all that I have for tonight, so peace in and goodnight.

Dementia Blows

     It was a very bad day for my mom. I should have known is was going to be bad, when I was awoken at nearly 3 in the morning to all the lights on in the house. I had to explain to her what time it was and that she needed to go back to bed. This is after I only fell asleep around 1 am.

     We had to wake up early so that she could go to the doctors, turns out it was for blood work and she hadn't fasted, because she wanted something light to eat. I didn't know any better, so I gave it to her, so her tests are going to be wonky. The day went on and I could see that she was falling deeper within her faded memory. When she does that she gets argumentative and sometimes violent. I try to be as calm as possible with her when I talk to calm her down as well, but that doesn't always work. She gets very paranoid and begins asking me questions, and when I answer them, she thinks it's a plot for some evil scheme. Then she gets on the topic of wanting to see her mother, and I usually side step that by telling her that we will go when we find the time, but sometimes, she gets real pointed with the questions, and I won't lie to her. I have to break it to her for, I don't know how many times, that her mother has passed away. Then she tells me I'm lying and that her son has left her in this place, and that she only wants to go home.

     Se remembers Morty, and how he was at the old house, but she never seems to put it together that she is still in her house. These are the times when it is hard to play along with her and just be the guy that works there, she gets real personal with the question and when I can't answer her to who I am, and I say that I'm her son, she gets nasty, and tells me that I can't be her son, because her son isn't an ugly old man.

     I know it's the dementia, and I do my best to look beyond it, but some things sting, and her telling me I'm not her son is one of them. I am alone in this, and although I've had certain people tell me that they would be there to help. I got the response I always get when I reach out to them. A phone that is disconnected or unavailable. This is why I do things on my own, no matter how difficult they may be. When I ask for help, I get excuses for why it won't be given. This is why I don't ask for help, or for anything else. It never comes. I'm sure I'll get some messages about how I'm overreacting and that I should have tried harder to make contact. I know I have my faults, and I except them, one of them is my inability to ask for help, but when I finally do, as I said above, I always get the same response, so I will be over dramatic, it's my right.

     Now that she is in bed, and I'm exhausted from getting little sleep tonight, I can finally go to the bank and get money out for things that she has to do this week. My mom who doesn't remember who I am or where she is, has more of a social life than I do. I'm ok with that, It will give me time to write. I have had to sneak it in this week, so that I could spend all my time with her while she is awake. My free time is cardio in the morning and nights at the gym. I will survive this, but it is going to take a very steep toll on me.

     I guess I should promote now. A new article comes out tomorrow at 5 for the website. It's a helpful little tip about keeping a workout diary. The blog goes into detail there, so I won't do it here. The latest review for the TPR is coming out on Thursday, back to it's normal time of 5pm for release. I think I messed up last time by trying  a different time for the release, and got very few views of either the video or the blog. Oh well, live and learn. I'm coming more and more at grips with the fact that this next one is probably the last one I will do. I don't know if my buddy will be able to carry on without me, but if he wants it to continue, he will have to find a way. I'll give him suggestions and help out as much as I can. I'll even edit video that he shots, and rework the written piece for him, but he is going to have to do all the heavy lifting from now on.

     I did start a 36 hour fast tonight. I nearly started a 48 yesterday, but wanted to have a post workout meal, so the fast started today and will end Thursday morning. I've come to find that I like the way I feel when I have no food in my belly. I still haven't figured out if that is a good or bad thing yet. I have a better sense of self when I'm starved, at least I think I do.

     I have to get to the bank and then to sleep, so no FSOTW. Peace in and goodnight.

The Final Weigh-In Is Done

     The final day of the latest 28 days is here. I overestimated my own ability and came up rather short on my goals, but I did achieve some change in a positive direction and that is a great thing. Final numbers are 162.5 pounds with my ketone levels at 1.9. I only lot 5.5 pounds which I see as a failure, but a failure that I learned from. First thing I learned is that as incredible as the human body is, it does have it's limits, and since I'm reaching mine, I have to adapt and overcome. That is the phase I'm in, the hardest part of weightless, the dreaded final 10 pounds. I will hit that 150 pound goal, it's just going to take a little longer. No time frame for that.

      The second thing I learned, is that my body needs more calories in order to get my workouts in properly. This final week was my low calorie week and I felt it. I had to change my plan, because it was impossible for me to eat only protein and reach my 1000 calorie limit, so I kept my protein and fat plan in place. My workouts were a struggle during this last week. I lost strength and stamina. I finished my workouts, but it was a struggle, and you need those workouts so that you build lean muscle mass to increase your metabolism. That means more sensible calories are needed in order to lose more weight.

     I guess that only leaves picture time. This was another failure on my part. I didn't transform my body the way I had expected to, but that was once again me overestimating myself. Lesson learned again.

     As you can see, there are some differences from image to image. I only played with the contrast to try and get each picture as close to the other as possible. I still have such a long way to go, but I'll get there.

      I thought I would throw in a couple of side by side by side of all the pictures I've taken so far. So here that is,

     Oh, just incase you were wondering, the pants are meggings by Kapow. Pretty cool right. I'm finally living my rock star dream. I do have another pair that are black and shiny, so I'll debut those when I finally reach my goal appearance. Still putting the bulk of my workouts on improving my legs and my chest. Everything else is coming along for the ride.

     I got some bad news last night. Even though I think the website is doing good, not as well as I would like it to do, but it's still very new, Google has denied my application for AdSense. If you don't know what that is, AdSense is how websites put advertisements on their sites. If AdSense denies you, then you can't put advertisements from them, and you have to find another way to make a little money, which is literally pennies per click. It would have been nice to have that as a tiny bit of change coming in, but I'll just have to work harder to make some money off of this. The worst part about the denial is that they say I should fix the problems with the site and then reapply, but they won't say what the problem is, I can only assume that it is low traffic, and the will come as I build it, but if it is something else, which I can't imagine what would be offensive about the site, then I will never know. This is why I really need for people to share the site, and follow me on Facebook and Instagram, just do a search for HowUKeto. It's pretty easy to find at this point.

     Still working on the video ideas, and I'm narrowing it down, but I'm still lost in the woods on this one. I might try to shoot some footage at the gym this week and see what I think about it, and proceed from there. Testing is going to be key on this one.

     It's going to be a long week. I haven't been sleeping much lately, mostly because of the elevated ketone levels, but also because I generally don't get home from the gym until midnight, and then I have to wake up when I hear my mom wake up, so that she isn't left confused about where she is, so My sleep schedule looks like an intermittent fasting eating schedule. Like how I turned that into a health reference? I basically get about 4 hours of sleep on a good night, and it is doing me in, but I don't have much choice. I have to go the gym late at night because it is the only time I know that she won't wake up and get confused when no one is there. I simply turn off all the lights in the house and if she gets up, she knows that it's bedtime and she simply goes back to bed. Normally she doesn't wake up in the middle of the night, so I'm all good. I can't sleep during the day, because I have to have eyes on her or at least be within earshot of her at all times. Right now, this is the only way I know how to make this work, it is just costing me sleep which in turn affects my overall health. Once again, I will figure this out. I'm surviving, and that's all I can do, the thriving will come with time.

     I still have what may be the final video for TPR to make, I have been putting it off, but I will finish it either today or tomorrow, more than likely tomorrow. I have a piece to write for the website, that is due tomorrow. It's going to be a beginners guide to Keto, so if you want to now how to get started and be successful, then check out that site, and share it with your friends. Yeah, I got to push, so bare with me.

     Ok, I'll leave you to the rest of your day since I'm putting this up at 9 in the morning. Peace in and have a good day.

Goals Are Being Met, And Dogs

     I had another douche moment at the gym last night and decided to take a selfie. As you can see, it was leg day, so naturally I wore a tank top. The energy levels of my workouts have been  a little lower this week due to the calorie deficit I am in, but I'm still getting them in and getting those goals accomplished.

I also completed my first week of the 100 Days of Discipline, and I haven't fallen or stumbled yet. I have done my cardio first thing every morning, and trust me doing jump rope the morning after a tough leg workout is not easy. I have only drank water and green tea (mostly water), and I have read every evening. There is still 93 days left, but I think I can do this and get my goals accomplished in that, and will be a healthier person for it.

     I still have a long way to go, but I've finally seen that I have come a long way in my journey, and it has been a wild ride. Oh yeah, I went even doucheier in the gym and took the ab selfie. This is a little preview for Sundays photo day of the latest 28, but it shows you what I've done so far, and how I'm finally feeling comfortable with my body.

     Now, I'm sure there would be a lot of people that would be happy with that, and I have to admit, I could be content with looking like this for the rest of my life, but that isn't the look of what I see when I see my goals fulfilled, so yes, I still have a long way to go. That being said, it wouldn't be prudent if I didn't promote the website and convince you to go check it out, and share it with friends on social media. Go to howuketo.com and learn how I went from flab to not quite but nearly fab. If I can do it, you can do it, and that is the whole point of my website.

     I'm writing this early today, because today is a rest day. I still have a video to make for the TPR which quite possibly could be our last video. I have taken over care of my mom full time, and can no longer get out to do any videos like that. I get gym time in late at night when she is sound asleep and I don't have to worry about her waking up and getting confused on why no one is there. I'm not gone for more than an hour, because I worry the entire time, which does put some added stress on my workouts, but the workouts are stress relievers so it evens out in the end. Despite the fact that I'm not a trained caregiver, I think things are going well. She surprisingly seems in better spirits, but that could just be the way her mind is working this week. In the recent past, she has gotten violent and very argumentative, and I know there will be much more of that in the future as her mental capacity declines. It's not easy, but I'll do anything for my mom, so that she has a wonderful transition into the ether.

     Let's talk about dogs. I have two of the greatest dogs on the planet. I'm sure you think your dogs are the greatest, but you would be wrong. I mean, look at those faces.

     How can you resist saying that they are perfect. Yes, I had to coax them with a treat to get them to stay for the shot, and yes Morty displaying those classic terrier traits only sat for a second as I got that shot, but still, they are the most perfect greatest dogs off all time, and I will fight you if you say otherwise in my presence. 

     Just wanted to share my love for my dogs. It's time to dash out of here, and take care of the mom. We have a big day planned of going to Target. That is exciting for me now. I'm getting a few supplies for a keto peanut butter toast recipe that I saw. If it works out, I'll post it up on the website and you can give it a try yourself. There is one problem though, because you have to buy a tub of Quest Vanilla Milkshake protein powder as one of the ingredients. I got mine on sale from Amazon. If it is anything like there Cinnamon Crunch, then it is going to be outstanding. The Cinnamon Crunch protein shake tastes like you are drinking the milk after having Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Yeah, it is that good. Oh, I'm going to have a product review of a new chip of theirs coming up next week. It's called Loaded Taco flavor, and I've already tried it so I know it is really good. Peace in and goodnight.
