Zma Hoops! 12/10/2023, Day 5 Keto

Hello Again My Dear Friends!

   Today's first meal: almond flour biscuit, bacon chips, homemade guacamole,  sliced, a fried egg and Lady Gray tea. 

I have survived 5 whole days on the keto diet! I have lost lbs so far and my energy has improved.

I had a bit of a rough time yesterday, but I powered through. I accompanied my dear friend's vocal students in a lovely home recital. Of course, afterwards we had a table laden with goodies. Of the carb and sugar variety.  I felt myself drawn like a magnet to the spread. As if in a trance. I stopped myself before I reached for a cookie.  It was difficult. I have a lifelong history of binging at parties. Especially on carbs. 

I appeased my raw emotions with a handful of olives, cheese and salami.

I hugged my friend and headed home, floating on a cloud of musical contentment and personal pride for resisting the post recital treats!

It was an a-ha moment for me. At home, I had a bit of carb deprived mania. Unfortunately,  my man got the brunt of it. At least I brought him an offering of cookies. But I regret with fear shame putting him through my emotions. 

I would do well to start applying a 12-step mindset to my carb addiction. I have been in denial most of my about how I have used food to comfort my overly sensitive self.

So, just for today, I am peaceful,  I am in control of my thoughts, my actions and my emotions. 

Sleep well, my friends. Talk to you tomorrow!

Love, 

Zita (Zma)
