RANDOM KINDA KETO PERSONAL 30 DAY CHALLENGE
The 2nd Week Of #RandomKindaKeto challenge has been completed! During this week, I increased my food intake. Week 1 was OMAD or One Meal A Day. I took a very strict approach and noticed my hunger actually decrease. During Week 2, I decided to listen to my body carefully. Some days were OMAD but most, I would sense that my stomach was growling by 11am and I chose to eat. I did notice that the portion sizes that satisfied me we're smaller. This has been a typical response to rounds of stricter Keto adherence in the past. If I reduce my portions, my appetite decreases and as long as I'm consuming water and getting some movement in daily, my weight decreases and I feel rested.Memorial Weekend & Week Two #RandomKindaKeto
I am so glad that I didn’t stray too far away from my usual eating habits over the weekend ending week one! I'm glad I did not allow myself to have a 3-day "holiday" weekend from my challenge. Due to that commitment, starting Week 2 was a somewhat a breeze. My biggest opponent this week, humidity. Now, Transparency Moment, I’ve cheated 2 times during the Weekend! 😁 I ate a small serving of baked beans with my "holiday" meal and leftovers. I measured 1/4 cup of beans and it was delicious! I'm human and you are too! I did not feel like this was a cheat at the time but as I reflect on it, it was a cheat! A sugary carby treat cheat! So here is what you do, acknowledge the mistake, forgive yourself and say, "I'll try again tomorrow!"![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhay2IRDWcD93UOcBrymsTaxvFi_0lJbyh-F9GBfybUnaCcnHmo_ZmvXXn12_FpdLORsADmIvSHspM9JVFGzElrv5B3yk3Kc4ndnZoWTo2dPczPfl_id9owxm9gY-1Vo_-GoHlDUQtx5Z8/s1600/lifestyle-random-kinda-keto-personal-30-Twitter-Click-to-Tweet-Ms-Naturally-Random-blog.png)
My plate otherwise was a keto OMAD smorgasbord. It's just something about the Summer coming and grilled meats that beacons for the sweetness of baked beans. I didn't feel bad though. I really kept my portion size in check and that is the only "real" sugar I've consumed in two weeks. Yay me (still)!

The MsNaturallyRandom brand has expanded to YouTube! Here's a quick "Day in the Life" Video and I hope #TeamFife can bring as much of a smile to your face as they do to us! Also, here are a few items I picked up on a quick Lidl grocery haul, full of low carb foods for me. Sometimes things don't go as planned but we wouldn’t change it for the world!Takeaways
- Stay Hydrated. In the recent heat, I’ve made a habit to drink almost 75 - 100 ounces water per day. Before the challenge, some days I'd slipped back in only consuming about 32 ounces a day. #Parched
- Mental Tenacity is a must. There were really humid days as the 3-day holiday weekend approached and those walk/jogs were even more challenging. Push your body to your limits and try to squeeze a little more effort out every day. My average mile times and distance varied daily but each day was either quicker than the previous or I went a little further. #GreaterProgress
- Habitual Living Really Works. I usually workout immediately after my daughter's off to school daily. The first weekend was a mental challenge. I had to remind myself of the promises I made myself. Although accountability partners are great and moral support is appreciated, I needed to do this for myself.
- Optimal Rest coupled with the energy boost from a high-fat, ketofied diet has produced
Keep Pushing!
