this and that

I have so much to write right now that I don't know where to start but I guess I will start with me.
I know it seems that I write about my weight loss and weight gain probably once a year and it is that time again.
Do I think you actually care about my weight loss or weight gain? Well I am thinking that a few of you actually do. I feel like weight issues are a part of most peoples lives these days so yeah maybe a few of you don't mind hearing about mine.
When young Mason Prince lived with me he often talked about his moms weight loss doing something called Keto. I mainly just blew him off because I don't really believe in any diet that says you can eat meat, egg, bacon, cheese and butter all the time. But then a close friend at job 1 started losing massive weight and sure enough she started talking about keto also.
So I figured I would try it.
Now here is keto in a nutshell.
breakfast- 2 eggs and bacon with cheese every single day.
snack- avocado
lunch- hamburgers with more cheese and usually squash with yes, more cheese
snack- pork rinds
dinner- another kind of meet or taco salad with more cheese and a vegetable of your choice with more cheese.
snack- cheese(duh)


That's how I did it at least.
Now, the key to this diet is to eat too much but not eat what you aren't supposed to eat.
You couldn't have sugar
You couldn't have bread
you couldn't have beer
you couldn't have fruit
you couldn't have pasta or rice
you couldn't have ice cream
you couldn't have cereal or milk
Debbie and myself live for 92 days with this way of eating. We doubted it at first but in the third week we went to Greensboro NC for four days and our diet consisted of ribs, veggies, hamburgers without the bread, and lots of waffle house. Yes I said waffle house.
4 times in the 4 days we were gone.
I had porkchops and eggs all four times but no hashbrowns and Debbie had 3 pieces of bacon and 3 eggs all four times.
We drank our water (nothing but water) and came home from that trip and we both had lost 5 pounds in those 4 days.
After that we were fairly hooked.
In the 92 days we stayed on it we probably told ourselves at least once a week that we were sick of this eating and were ready to quit. That thought would end when we stepped on the scale. In those 92 days I went from 291  to 258 and my wife went from,, haha , I cant tell you these numbers. Suffice to say, she is as small as she has been in 20 years or more.
We decided this week that it was time for a break from keto. I love the fruits of the season and I could not have watermelon or peaches, and anyone knows that I have a true passion for peaches. So we are officially off of keto and working on the eating smart way of life.
Don't judge me if you see me drinking a beer at the ballpark and don't judge me If you seem me eating a burger without the bread. I am just trying to be a better me and I think everyone should do that.
I am going to stay way from sugar and as much bread as I possibly can, but I am a happy man this week because I have had my fruits close by. That's how simple it is to make me happy.
