Keto in Quebec...

After 75 weeks of keto, it gets easier everyday...even on vacation!  I took my sweet mama and 19 year old son to Quebec a couple of weeks ago and aside from a few bites, here and there...I managed to stay keto.  Yes, yes....I realize even a bite can throw you out of ketosis so let's just say that I didn't completely 'abandon ship' and eat everything in site.  I made great choices along the way and had fun without completely 'carbin' out'.

Walked the Aquarium du Quebec
Brunch at the Hotel Frontenac....yes, I had a bite of several desserts!
Before I started this journey, I would have gone nuts and eaten everything I possibly could.  Don't get me wrong, I could easily do that now as well.....I just 'choose not to'.  WOW....that sounds so sensible and easy but that's not how it used to be.  It's taken me quite awhile to get to the 'sensible phase' of this journey.  There are so many times I just wanna go nuts and devour everything but I'm able to talk myself down and make good choices.  Who'da thunk I could ever have that much discipline....?  I literally amaze myself at times, lol!  Honestly, I think  the main reason is that I've tried so hard to get to this point and I'm just not willing to fail after all this hard work.  I choose to be comfortable in my clothes and confident with how I look instead of gorging myself...... been there done that.  I 'choose my hard' and it's much more hard to be fat than it is to make good choices and be happy.  Yep....I got this,
We took a fun dinner cruise with live entertainment
