It’s a rainy Sunday morning. There’s nothing better than sitting on the couch with my dogs sipping some creamy butter coffee while I scroll through the bad news and trite Sunday Facebook updates on my phone.

The REV meal plan on Personal Trainer Food is about as vegetarian as you can get while still eating meat. There is actually a weird word for it (I love weird words): “flexitarian.” That just sounds like me, I am flexible from all the yoga I practice… Continue reading
Day 9 on REV
I haven’t known my actual weight for years. I don’t care about it. Don’t tell me how much I weigh… Continue reading
Day 7 on REV
So today I have a case of the popcorn farts. In my opinion, they don’t smell– and I’m not about to take a poll to see who agrees with me. Pretty much everything about my digestion has changed, and I’m noticing it.
Around the office, I’m the one who others transfer calls about digestion, diarrhea and constipation to. I dunno why, and it’s not like I loooove talking about sh… Continue reading
REV Day 6
Today, my world is upside down for no good reason at all.
I just want to go home to Seattle. I miss the mountains, the trees, the hills, my friends, and Frasier re-runs…Don’t get me wrong I LOVE life here in Texas. EVERYTHING is hunky dory here, and y’all are so darned friendly. But I miss the Seattle freeze* today… Continue reading
REV Day 5
Hello darkness my old “friend.”
This ketosis thing ROCKS during the day. I have so much freakin’ energy. I’m not hungry! My clothes are getting looser! I know I’m burning fat like I’m on crack! I have no problem waking up to my 4:33 am alarm. I am not getting that horrid afternoon slump! Awesome!…until I head to bed.
Then everything sucks… Continue reading
REV Day 4
It’s Mother’s Day and I woke up a little bummed. I wasn’t going to get my traditional mimosa and pastries for breakfast. (Gee, I have no idea why my skinny jeans don’t fit, /sarcasm. Just listen to the litany of fat-habits I have admitted to in just the last few days.)
At least there is always butter. Butter is my friend… Continue reading
REV Day 3
I’m craving fresh vegetables. So off to Costco I go!
Costco is my absolute favorite store. I’m embarrassed to tell people how much my cash rewards check is each year (ssshhh…what’s 2% of $20k. Don’t judge!) And you’d think that I’d take that check and put it in my savings fund for the small island I’m going to buy in the South Pacific…
REV Day 2
If I could put salt on salt I would.
This is what I have squirreled away in my desk. If you peeked in my pocket might find a few more too. Now, keep in mind that I have no underlying medical conditions, and I stay well-hydrated. My blood pressure is 90/60, and has even been measured lower than that (when they do it properly after I have been sitting a few minutes instead of slapping a cuff on the moment I jump up on the exam table).
Here’s the thing: you should NOT avoid salt when you lower your carbohydrate intake. Continue reading
