I'm still sticking to keto and I see some changes in my blood glucose levels and I hope that keeps happening. I have not been as strict as I should be but that will change come January because I plan to join a 30 day keto challenge!

I'll be honest, this way of eating has not been difficult since day 3. That is the day I can say I had the willpower to say no to sweets. I have been tempted many times but keep reminding myself that I am trying to keto adapt and if I take even one taste of anything, it will set me back to square one.
Once my tastebuds have had that taste of sweet, I would have no control, my pancreas would be vomiting insulin (as my coach stated), and I would immediately be kicked out of ketosis. All that hard work is not worth one bite of anything. I keep telling myself when I get healthy and I am keto adapted I can have some sweets once in awhile and it won't be so hard to get back into ketosis.
All this I tell myself as I am baking and making treats for other people! My weight loss has not budged past the 4 lb. mark and that's okay with me, I know it's because I am not working out like I should. I'm supposed to be exercising at least 4-5 times a week - this is where the need for that schedule comes in!
