I am quiet. I like looking for deals online. I have kids. I'm from the south. I'm a woman. I like bbq. I like cooking with a crock pot. I'm a homemaker. I'm from North Carolina. I am thinking of doing the keto diet. I am trying to lose weight. I want to start running. I am motivated to start exercising. I take walks every afternoon. I am working up to being able to run. I struggle to walk 3 miles. I am interested in learning an easy Keto diet. I am not knowledgeable about the Keto diet. I have a puppy that is not leased trained. I have a Sheltie named Squirt who is learning how to potty. I go for walks with my dog for about 20 minutes. I need to buy running shoes. I'm interested in running.
I try to run five miles per day. I eat a protein-heavy diet. I want to lose weight. I started the keto diet. I have a lot of keto recipes. I'm a freelance programmer. My parents grew up in Alaska. I find running daily easy. It took me 3 months of training before I could run 5 miles. I practiced walking before running as part of my raining. I ran a mile each day and gradually worked my way up. I have a German Shepherd named Bosco that runs with me. I go for a walk with my dog at lunch. I go on 5 mile runs. I have been trying to lose weight. I have been running consistently for 7 months. I use apps to help my running.
What type of food did you feed Bosco today? Nothing but the best for my Bosco!  I feed him a special blend of Purina Beyond Organic food to keep him fit and healthy.  Otherwise, he won't be able to keep up with me during the lunch walk! Bosco need to keep up with you!? Wow! Here I am getting yanked around by Squirt every time we go on walks. lol. I think it's all thanks to the keto diet.  I've almost completely cut out carbs from my diet, and although  I really miss bread, I have more energy than ever.   I heard that too, that's why I'm interested in it. I keep thinking on starting the diet, start running, but keep making excuses to myself like I'm busy, I have kids, etc. Any suggestions? I'd say to start the diet once the kids are back in school, that way you'll have more time to learn all about the diet and have more chances for success.  For now, you can start buying some keto diet cookbooks, since cooking is your thing! That's a good idea. Do you have recommendations for recipe books? What apps are you using for helping you exercise? I don't have any ideas for recipe books as of now, but I'll definitely look into it.  I do have a pedometer on my phone that tracks my daily steps and distance I run and walk.  I have a goal of at least 10,000 steps a day! Thank you! My steps per day average is around 2,000, most of them are around the house cleaning after the kids. LOL. I think I will start with a 5,000 steps a day for now. I think that as soon as you buy running shoes, you can increase your step count gradually and meet your new goal of 5,000 daily steps.  Since you already walk 20 minutes a day, I'm sure you're meeting that step count already.  Just make sure to track your steps! I can assure you that as for right now, that 20 minutes are not a constant-walking 20 minutes. Distance-wise is not that much. I stops too often to catch my breath. My small goals is to reduce the numbers of those stops. I understand!  With four kids at home and being a full-time homemaker, plus taking care of a puppy, you must not have much energy at the end of the day.  But believe in yourself, and little by little, you'll find yourself moving more and losing weight.
