About me

Listen up folks, just to avoid any misunderstandings, the grand start of my diet is on April 3rd, which also happens to be a Monday. Now, as the old saying goes, you should always kick off a diet on the Monday closest to the first of the month. And since we're talking about April Fool's month, I wouldn't dare to start my diet on the first, otherwise nobody would take me seriously, amirite?

 

Let me tell you a little bit about myself and my turbulent relationship with Keto. I've been struggling with weight issues since I became an adult, and it all started when my wife got pregnant with our first child. She gained some pregnancy pounds, and you know what they say, "happy wife, happy life," so I did the same. But when our baby was born, my wife managed to shed the extra weight like a pro, whereas I was stuck with my little bump for years to come.

 

It wasn't until we moved to Belize that I really started to reflect on my weight and how it was affecting my life. Plus, with so many family members suffering from weight-related medical problems like diabetes and high blood pressure, I knew I had to take action. That's when I saw some of my friends having great results on the keto diet, so we sat down and had a chat about it. And thus began my first journey down the keto road.

 

I gotta tell ya, I was killing it during the first year, shedding about 70lbs (that's 32kg for my metric-loving pals) and feeling like a million bucks. But then the pandemic hit, and with lockdowns, isolation, and depression, I kicked keto to the curb and turned to food for comfort and to overcome boredom. Luckily, I haven't gained all the weight back, but I did manage to pack on about half of it. Oopsie!

Behold, my friends, this is yours truly before I embarked on the glorious journey of Keto..

Now, here's yours truly just a few weeks ago. As you can see, I've managed to find some of that lost weight, but hey, let's call it what it is: "temporarily misplaced" weight. Sounds a lot less harsh, right?

Alrighty then, folks, I've got some serious work to do. But you know what? I'm totally psyched to get back on track again! And the best part is, I've got my "ride or die" BFF wife by my side to join me on this epic journey. Maybe she'll even drop some knowledge bombs on this blog, but for now, it's just me on a mission to inspire my fellow 50-somethings out there that it's never too late or too tough to slim down and get your health back on track. Let's do this!
