I Hit The Double Nickels!



Monday was my birthday and I turned 55 years old!  How do I feel about that?  Fantastic!

I might look like I'm 55 with some gray hair and a few wrinkles, but I sure don't feel that old.  I feel better than I did fifteen years ago and younger too.  I am so grateful I finally decided to get on board with the Keto lifestyle and turn my health around.



It amazes me how much strength, endurance and energy I have these days.  My mind is clear and I function so much better.  And although one can never  completely eliminate stress from their life I do find myself feeling far less anxious as well as having fewer periods of extreme stress and anxiety.  I'm pretty confident it is because I handle things so much better than I used to.  And I don't feel it as much.


All of my clothes fit, in fact some are a little big on me, and I currently weigh only five more pounds than I did when I was a senior in high school.  I have no complaints about that!  My blood pressure is within the normal range as well as my lipids and glucose levels.  I have made some amazing progress in the last year and a half.


Never in a million years would I have thought that simply cleaning up my diet would have such a dramatic impact on my life.  But it did!  Going Keto gave me my life back, it gave me hope and it gave me a quality of life I'd only dreamed of.

Turning 55 didn't bother me one bit!

  1. Happy Birthday! I am so glad you are doing so well. I have been reading "The Okinawa Program". I have had the book for years but never got around to it. My goodness, I should have read it years ago. More veggies and less sugar. Lots of other things too for head and heart. Enjoy life and don't isolate yourself. I can do it. Your keto lifestyle has also been encouraging. We are getting older but also better. Happy Birthday and many, many more!
