It’s the first Friday of the month and not only is it time for Friday Cocktails but it also time to talk about our monthly goals. This month I am not missing a single Friday with these posts for y’all. I know how much you enjoy them and I do as well.
This week has been a pretty full one with doctor’s appointments, my birthday on Monday, and a few other things. Add in that today is grocery day and I am a busy gal. So lets jump right into all of it.
SEPTEMBER GOALS
This is something a little new to the Friday Cocktails but I felt like I needed to share my goals with y’all. Like maybe by sharing them I will be held a little more. So for this month I would to achieve the following:
- Begin going through old posts as I have updated some categories and need to get them changed.
- Prep the holiday posts and themes for y’all
- Get ahead on some articles that can be prewritten
- Stay on track with my new healthcare plan –I struggled a few days this month
5 FINDS THIS WEEK
This week we are all about the keto diet I am on. I am sharing with you some items that I have tried and enjoy. You can click any of the images to go to the items on Amazon. I love shopping on Amazon and you can find all of the items on my various lists here. I add to them all the time so be sure to check often.
I have found that I enjoy this granola more than I thought I would. Many of these Keto foods taste odd to me. I am learning to liking them more but it is a learning curve. This tastes good though and I can eat it for breakfast or as a small snack.
I am still struggling with not having any sweets. This are really low in carbs and sugar which means I can have a few. This helps curb my sweet craving without leaving full of regret. Some days I just need a little treat.
I am still working to understand fat bombs and what they are. To me they are a snack but I do know they serve a purpose. These are snacks for me as well. I know that snacking is bad but due to my insulin levels being all over the place I occasionally need a little snack.
I love bread and it is a problem for me which I know. These breads allow me to have a sandwich occasionally without feeling guilty. One thing i have learned is that guilt is a huge part of my dieting. I know it shouldn’t be but right now that is what happens.
I don’t always know what foods are allowed or not allowed. That is why I have this cheat sheet on my fridge. I also carry it with me to the grocery store. I can quickly look at what is allowed and what is not. I can’t tell you how helpful this has been.
