Feeling: Proud of myself (and Dust). We've been strict Keto-ing since Tuesday (after Labor Day) and it's been going really well. I'm down 4 lbs already! Like what?! I've tried everything in the past and this is the only thing giving me actual results which is a huge motivator to keep it going. I even went out twice this week and was able to find something on the menu that I could turn Keto. Full disclosure though, I did split a pumpkin cheesecake from the cheesecake factory with Dustin only because it's seasonal. Other than that I haven't cheated AT ALL which is something I've never been able to do. Between work goodies and Dustin calling on my way home (can you pick of X bad food) and just having no will power and the biggest sweet tooth I was always defeated. NOT ANYMORE. I'm in this to win this. I'm trying to lose 30-40 lbs and give myself rewards every 10 lbs. The first 10 lbs I get to go get a much needed hair cut. So yeah that's also driving my motivation. It also helps Dustin is doing it with me (and killing it!) along with a couple of my friends. Even my friends who aren't have been very supportive.

Also drained AF. The past three weekends have been spent with people non-stop out of town. So between the travel and the very little me time I really started to not feel great both physically and mentally. Now I hope it goes without saying, even though I'll say it anyway, that I had a great time with those people doing all of the things. But introverts need time alone to recharge. It's part of our makeup, not something to be offended about. Even when I'm home I'll shut the bedroom door to have some time to myself away from Dustin. Thankfully he's always gotten it. This weekend has been so nice not having any plans. I've watched TV and napped and played with my cats and I finally feel ok enough to actually blog. Slowly but surly I'll be fine. But this is why I try to spread out events as much as I can because otherwise I just crash.


Watching: 

Sierra Burgess is a Loser - Ok we all love "Barb". If you don't know what I mean by that then I can't help you. You've missed the bus and there is no turning back. But I've only seen Shannon Purser in two small roles. Finally this movie gives her the lead and she fucking kills it. Like I've got a new girl crush, my next #wcw. Seriously she's beautiful and so charming. But so is everyone in this movie. The other three supporting characters are witty and have depth and really add to the whole experience. So if you're in the mood for a good rom com go watch this one!

Listening to: Sierra Burgess is a Loser Soundtrack. Oh man I love a movie with a good soundtrack. I am actually listening to it right now as I type this. I love the dreaminess of the entire thing but the Sunflower track is great and also a pivotal part of the movie so that's all I'll say about that one. I'm sure this album will be on repeat until Thrice and The Early November release their new ones in the next few weeks.

On the podcast side of what I'm listening to I'm still chugging with my faves MFM, Manic Rambling Spiral, and Armchair Expert. But I've recently been adding Bunny Ears to the mix. It's Macaulay Culkin's newish podcast that came out earlier this year. Every episode is different and topics are random as hell but I really like him and his friend Matt's banter.
