My Bodily Functions

WARNING: This post is not for the faint of heart and it talks a lot about urine. 

Drink your water! 64 oz a day is best for weight loss.
Drink your water - it's the key to success!
I am peeing so much. I probably peed 50 times on Sunday alone. I have never been a good water drinker. In fact, I have probably spent the majority of my life in a state of early dehydration. This is completely foreign to me, but I am drinking a minimum of 64 oz of water a day and I am running to the bathroom every five minutes (at least it feels that way)!

Since Profile by Sanford is a "keto-like" process, my body is most likely starting to enter ketosis. My urine smells weird. I can't describe the smell, but it's odd. 

When you start Profile, do not be alarmed by the amount of pee. I started trying to read about this, and I am definitely going to ask my coach about it, but it appears to be a normal thing. Dustin is going through the same. 

Edited to add: Talked to coach, this is a normal thing, and it does slow down! Also, do not be alarmed by the weird urine smell - it goes away after a couple of days!

Weekend update - Birthday Party Blues and Flying

By Kelly -
One of the biggest fears I have had coming into this health and wellness journey is the social aspect - everything revolves around food! Of course, I had a birthday party for some family members this past weekend. Dustin has left town, so I am navigating this alone (and I have to remember that he is too!). I had a flight scheduled to be with him on Monday night, so I had this weird birthday party/travel combo looming that really had me worried! I stuck by my motto of planning and preparation though, and I was able to successfully navigate this. However, it wasn't without its own set of drama. Let me recap...

Spicy Shrimp and Vegetables

By Kelly -

We also wanted to add a vegetable to the side and came up with the idea to make lemon pepper broccoli. Here is the deliciousness that transpired from his creativity and his craving! Spicy Shrimp and Vegetables Now, of course you are thinking that this looks amazing. Well, you would be right. It was phenomenal! Here's how we created this...

Buffalo Cauliflower

By Kelly -
One of my favorite go to "spiced up" veggies is buffalo cauliflower. To me, cauliflower is kind of boring. But the nice thing about it is that it's very versatile and can be manipulated to resemble other foods that aren't on my path to health and wellness. But no, seriously, they are good!  It is not a trap as Admiral Ackbar is trying to warn you.  It's just a slight trick. I have missed chicken wings. I miss the sauce, I miss the spice, I miss going to B-dubs. However, I can still replicate this experience at home with my buffalo cauliflower as I watch the game on MLB TV. Some people may not be convinced, and that's ok. This works for me. I enjoy this recipe and make it often. You can add it to salad, you can serve it as a side dish, or it could be the main entrée. Buffalo cauliflower is healthy AND delicious! Here are the details:
