Freddie Mercury may have the best definition of the Boho design style we will explore this month. The word bohemian originated in France in the early nineteenth century and defined the lifestyle of Gypsies. Writers, artists, and musicians often made up this group. Rebelling against social norms, they embraced living a more easy come, easy go, vagabond lifestyle for their art. 

​I have to admit I was a skeptic when I heard all the hype about Keto diets. How could you possibly lose weight eating all that FAT? But sure-o-nuf it works. One of my favorite resources is I Eat Keto. This guy is Keto-King in my opinion. Honestly, this site and Suzanne Ryan's book Simply Keto were my go-to for research on the why and how of Keto. The bonus is there is page after page of tasty and easy recipes in both places. 

**UPDATE: Ladies, to compliment Suzanne's book you may want to check out Keto For Women by Leanne Vogel. She really nails the entire benefits and options for anyone wanting to try a Keto lifestyle. You can buy it here or check it out on the link below. 

I’ve tried various diet plans to no avail but living a healthy lifestyle with some Keto elements works for our family and me. As I mentioned before I am not a lover of counting macros in detail, so I tried The Faster Way to Fat Loss plan and found it to be spot on in making tracking SOOO much easier. I do keep track of my net carbs per day and try NEVER to go over them. This one is non-negotiable, and while I seem to comfortably stay within my calorie range, the challenge to date is reaching my daily goal for proteins and fats. To learn more about my specific plan you can check out my blog titled How the Faster Way to Fat Loss Plan Changed my Mental Mindset. 

It’s a work in progress. Here is a little peek into my journey.
